Alva Review-Courier -

Monday, the Alva City Council and Alva Utility Authority will consider signing an Oklahoma Water Resources Board note for up to $5.835 million. Security for the note is a pledge of city revenues from water, sewer and waste management. The note is for improvements to the city water system. The city council will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall.

Three council members have requested that four items be placed on the meeting agenda. These are for discussion of resignation of members of the city water department, comments and reading of statements from former water department employees, discussion on the exit interview process and future plans for the city’s water department.

The city’s employee handbook, discussed at the last meeting, will be up for a vote on changes and allowing the city business manager to fully implement those changes.

Two street department trucks are on the agenda to be declared surplus. They are both 4.5 ton 1982 Chevrolet trucks. The two trucks currently do not run. Woods County District 1 has expressed an interest in buying the trucks and putting in new motors. The city street department has no use for them so is not interested paying to repair them.
