CITY HALL EXPANSION UPDATE <br /> On Thursday of this week (1/6) we received a letter from <br /> Mikkelson-Wulff Construction, the general contractor for the City <br /> Hall Expansion project, requesting an extension for the <br /> completion of the project.

We have had trouble with the Hillview Park Building <br /> heater. These are old, ancient electric heaters. Parts are not even <br /> available anymore for replacement parts. Steve and Bacon <br /> Electric tackled the heater on Tuesday and came to the <br /> conclusion that making our own heating element is the most <br /> feasible way to keep heat in the building until the heater can <br /> be replaced.
