FARGO Fargo s Street Department now can fill those nasty and never-ending potholes on city streets much earlier in the spring and later in the fall.
The city has purchased for $18,900 a piece of equipment called Hot Patch that heats asphalt patching material and fits into the back of a one-ton pickup truck, said Public Works Services Manager Paul Fiechtner.
The presentations from all the city departments have now wrapped up. The feeling from council is they should meet again Thursday night for some final discussions, as they consider whether to go ahead with the administration proposal of a one percent property tax increase for 2021, or adjust it up or down. That deliberation session is scheduled to begin at 6:20 p.m. Thursday evening, and is again open to the public on ZOOM. It will be held right after council meets for an in-camera matter. The latest three-hour-long budget session covered a lot of ground. One discussion right at the start was a holdover from Monday’s discussion: whether money could be found for the “unfunded” additional CSO position so it could be included in the 2021 budget.
