The working relationship between the city of Zeigler and the H Group was cemented Tuesday night. The council and H Group will work to build three homes in the community for developmentally disabled persons, it was announced. These will be four bedroom homes with two baths. Each home would have a total of six workers assigned to it. These are paid, unionized positions. And, Debbie Pape from H Group confirmed that former workers at the now closed Colonial Manor would have first opportunity to apply.
The Council also made some internal business changes. A new purchase order form has been introduced. And, time cards will have to be more closely scrutinized by works in the future.
Commissioner Virgil Gunter said he has sent out almost 30 letters for mowing violations and/or junk and is monitoring that situation.
No word was received yet concerning the pending sale of real estate to a developer that could bring a Dollar General Store to that community. A proposal from the city regarding sale price of their land has not been addressed by the developer. Still, the city remains confident that an agreement can be reached.
The Council agreed to pay their portion of a matching grant for major water work underway. The City portion of the $ 57,869 grant is $19, 250 dollars.
The meeting was continued until next Tuesday at 5 p.m.
