The Cuba City Council met in regular session at City Hall on Thursday, April 4. The following items of business were discussed at the meeting:

• The meeting was called to order, with Ward 1 Alderman Warren Graddy absent.

• Mayor Ray Mortimeyer asked that the release of the deed for Prock Real Estate be tabled until it is assured that all the proper criteria have been met as required. The council agreed to table that item on the agenda.

Ward 2 Alderman Cody Leathers has suggested that the city hold preconstruction meetings with contractors, so that questions about bid specifications can be ironed out beforehand. He believes this will streamline the bidding process and also eliminate any possible confusion about projects that local contractors are bidding on.
