Corps To Present Plan For Coppei

WAITSBURG - The City of Waitsburg will hold a special meeting to hear a presentation from the U.S. Corps Of Engineers about its proposed Coppei Creek Risk Reduction Project that would protect the city against a 100- year flood.

The public meeting is scheduled for 5 pm on Monday, June 20, at the Lions Club Building on the Fairgrounds.

In other news, the city council at its regular meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 15, is scheduled to discuss in more depth the proposed new 10-year contract for waste collection with Basin Disposal Inc. of the Tri Cities.

Also on the agenda is the future of the old apple packing warehouse east of the McGregor plant. At its last meeting, the council decided to put a demolition and salvage contract out through the public bid process and is expected to take action on this move on Wednesday.
