This month’s city council meeting on Oct. 14 tackled finalizing three public works projects. With the guidance of public works director, Dennis Schrier, the council voted on which public works equipment and materials they would purchase based on various price quotes for a cold storage building, a box sweeper and a truck snowplow.
The council unanimously agreed on materials from Menard’s for a 30x45 ft. post frame cold storage building for less than $12,000. This price excludes the costs of delivery and installation —which would be handled by the city. This would be the only true cold storage building in Hill City and would be used to house the town’s lawn mowers, Christmas decorations and traffic barricades — among other equipment.
hese items are currently scattered between a few small storage areas, such as at the Visitor Information Center and in the garage behind the library — which is also used for storing excess books.
