The Rolla City Council, meeting tonight at 6:30 in the council chambers at Rolla City Hall, will consider bids for work to be done at the Rolla National Airport.
The work is included in a project with major financing by an Economic Development Administration grant filtered through the state government.
The purpose of the work is to prepare a portion of the airport for industry. Brewer Science is one company that has already committed to expanding facilities at that site.
Tonight the council will consider a bid for a contract to upgrade the water supply and a bid for electrical improvements. Both bids will require a motion to accept and then an ordinance to authorize the mayor to enter into an agreement with the companies. The agenda lists that the ordinance will be heard for first reading. The council could waive its rules and hear the final reading and adopt the ordinance, too.
The council will also consider a bid for disinfection and clarifier improvements at the Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant.
A quote for 48-inch concrete pipe will also be considered.

• The council will consider a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign an agreement with the Rolla Area Chamber of Commerce to share the expenses for refurbish the Christmas star decorations.
