RAINSVILLE, Ala.--The Rainsville City Council held its regularly scheduled meeting on November 15th.
The Council passed Resolution 11-15-2021 A, which awarded the bid for demolition of the existing culvert at Chavies Road in the amount of $7,842.00 to Brown Construction. The Council gave Mayor Rodger Lingerfelt the authority to prepare paperwork by the City of Rainsville to put out for bids in early December, for the replacement of the culvert at Chavies Road.
The Council passed Resolution 11-15-2021 B, which un-surplused a Mahindra Tractor, due to lack of suitable bids. The tractor will be used in various locations within the City.
