By Tim SchmidtRecord Managing EditorTruesdale city officials have identified three projects that could be completed if a grant is awarded to cover a portion of engineering costs.The city is considering extending water lines along South Spoede Lane from Truesdale Avenue to Gastorf Chevrolet, on Juni Way, and along Veterans Memorial Parkway from NAPA to the western city limits.The total cost for engineering would be $29,590, officials said. If the Missouri Department of Natural Resources awards the city a grant covering up to 45 percent of the engineering expense, the city would have to pay the remaining $16,274.50.Earlier this month, aldermen voted to submit the three projects to DNR for approval.Officials said the possible grant was welcome news.“You take 45 percent off engineering, that is 45 percent to put toward a project,” City Administrator/Clerk Mary Lou Rainwater said.The city became eligible for the grant funding after Cochran Engineering completed a study of its water system a few years ago.In other news• The Missouri Bank will be donating a small piece of property at no cost to the city, officials announced.
