Public Works
The Wade Wilson Building renovations project continues with the work on the rear exterior wall and interior electrical, plumbing and painting work. The contractor has finished power washing the south side of the building which revealed that the building was once “Nichols Welding Co.” as visible once some of the paint was removed.
Miller Paving has nearly completed the sidewalk project along Blue Ridge Boulevard. Signage and pavement marking is all that remains to be completed.
Asphalt crews have started work in advance of the light weight aggregate seal program. The crews are repairing potholes, large cracks and other pavement defects to provide a smooth surface in advance of the seal treatment application later this summer.
Storm Sewer crews have focused on storm sewer ditch maintenance and has nearly completed ditching at 82nd and Ditzler and has started at 87th Street and Ash.
Current cost of fuel has fluctuated some with diesel dropping recently; the current cost is $3.38 for unleaded and $3.20 for diesel.
The Missouri Public Service Commission approved a rate increase for KCP&L in the old Aquilla territory. The increase granted by the Public Service Commission was $59.4 Million as compared to the request of $97.9 Million that KCP&L originally requested. The rate increase will be effective as of June 4, 2011. The rate increases were not equal between the two areas served by KCP&L; L&P area is the old St. Joseph Power and Light, MPS is the area that serves Raytown. The MPS tariffs have increased 6% which is much less than the requested 15.2% increase.
