The Chaffee (Missouri) City Council has voted to approve $29,027 as final payment on a 35-foot-by-35-foot metal addition, which was completed last week, to the municipal fire station at 222 N. Main St.

The addition, according to city administrator Lee Horton, has two large overhead doors to accommodate emergency preparedness vehicles. The structure will also house supplies.

The city previously paid $29,359 on an initial installment for the addition, bringing the total project cost to $58,386.

The council also voted to approve $29,224 for street repair on Davidson Circle and from the intersection of Frates and Hubbard streets to Chaffee Elementary School.

Cemetery

The council opened four bids for mowing at Union Park Cemetery, accepting the lowest offer of $350 per mow from Porter's Lawn Service of McClure, Illinois, taking over from Adult & Teen Challenge, which did not bid the job.
