Read moreThe Wagner City Council held their regular meeting this month on August 5th at 6 p.m. There was a lot on the agenda for this month’s meeting. After all the formalities such as roll call, the pledge of allegiance, public comments, etc., the meeting really began with City Administrator, Debbie Houseman, giving her reports on several items. One of the biggest being the meeting with the pool fundraising committee along with the architects and project engineers. The estimated costs of the ideal pool with a bath house was seven million dollars, but could be scaled back to approximately four million dollars if it was a smaller size. The possibility of renovating the pool was discussed, but Houseman felt that the pool committee was set on a new pool as that is what they had been fundraising for the past several years. If the city decides to wait much longer then the project will be so expensive that it will be out of reach for Wagner. Houseman is in the process of applying for a grant which would cover 3/4ths of the $1,000,000 bath house. The building of a new bath house is a priority for the city due to safety and security concerns. If Wagner was to be awarded that grant, the city would only have to cover a maximum of $250,000 of the one million estimated. She also told the council members about several possible resources to generate more revenue for the pool project including a property tax opt out and/or a BB&B tax which she was more than willing to find more information for the council members.

To ensure the safety of all our students during drop-off, we are going to implement a “one-way” street from 7:30 – 8:25 a.m. on school days. Please enter Pine Street from the North (Old Hwy 50 or 2nd Street). Drive South to the front of the school where your child can be dropped off by the main entrance. As you leave Pine Street on the south end, you can go straight, or turn east or west to leave the school. High school students will enter from the North and turn into the parking lot. If they have younger students with them, they will all walk from the parking lot.
