The Caliente City Council was in full attendance at their last meeting Sept. 18. Newly appointed council member John Ahlstrom now sits in the chair of former council member JoLynn Cardinal.
The city discussed the project on Spring Heights in full detail. The installation of new curbs and gutters nears its completion. ?Those guys amaze me everyday,? said Mayor Stana Hurlburt of the city crew workers.
Councilman Ahlstrom gave a report for the happenings of Caliente?s Beautification Committee, discussing the new military banners purchased and ideas for more roses around the depot.
Quite a bit of discussion was offered for the flood that closed the I-15 from Las Vegas to Cedar City. The City discussed the five-hour power outage, two days of no cell service, the 11 reported accidents, and the lack of access to the accidents because of the bumper-to-bumper traffic. The City emailed Nevada Department of Transportation for funding for the damage done in Caliente. The entire City Council did give credit to all the citizens of the city that participated and helped work through the craziness.
