COVID strikes again / outbreak leads to changes in demo of old Monroe fire station
A local company picked to demolish the City of Monroe s old Central Fire Station will no longer handle the job due to a COVID-19 outbreak among its employees.
City Council on Monday unanimously agreed to rescind a contract for the demolition that was originally awarded to Thomas Trucking Services, Inc. of Monroe, and instead award it to Salenbien Trucking & Excavating, Inc. of Dundee.
Thomas Trucking was the low bidder at $73,000 back in March when council initially decided who would demolish the building located on Scott St. But Salenbien was the second-lowest bidder at $75,000, and the company has agreed to honor the initial bid as it takes over the project and attempts to raze the old fire house by the original target date of June 30.
City council debates allowing pot shops in downtown
But where these businesses would be located within the city continues to be a sticking point.
Council discussed its ongoing efforts to establish a marijuana ordinance during a virtual work session held Saturday morning. The bulk of the two-hour-long session was spent discussing retail recreational marijuana facilities specifically, with council largely agreeing that they aren’t currently interested in allowing the more industrial businesses, such as processing plants or grow houses, within city limits.
City Manager Vince Pastue explained that, based on previous conversations with council and the lack of appropriate parcels of land within the city, retail marijuana businesses could essentially only be placed in the downtown area or along Telegraph Rd.
