City commission talks options for engineering services

The Fort Scott City Commission on Tuesday discussed the need for a city engineering firm, as well as a separate charter ordinance dealing with filling vacancies in elected public offices.

Director of Finance Susan Bancroft informed commissioners there are several grant opportunities the city can apply for, and city staff would like to accept requests for qualifications for a city engineering firm. This would allow staff to prepare preliminary engineering for projects, which is necessary for grant funding.
