Resolution No. 1 - Stadium Boulevard Reconstruction Project - Kipke Drive to S. Main Street - Sidewalk Special Assessment
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval please find Resolution No. 1 for the addition of a new sidewalk along the south side of E.

Main Street was filled as part of the project.
