Two Rugby residents walk for exercise in the Rugby Armory on a recent Friday morning. The City of Rugby has scheduled a public hearing for March 15 at 7 p.m. to present a plan for updating the facility.
City of Rugby government committees made final recommendations for a controversial project at the city recreation complex in regular meetings held Wednesday, Jan. 20, at city hall.
A project to replace drain tiles on baseball diamonds at the complex spurred months of discussion when factors such as early snowfall caused delays in work and added expenses when sod pulled from the grounds froze and died. More expenses were incurred when the contractor, Austin Harles of Fargo firm MBF Drain Tile used city equipment for some of the work and according to recreation committee members, damaged fencing on the property.
