CLARIFICATION In the May 18 article on the Savanna City Council meeting, the quote about the LGBTQ meeting was by Alderman Jeff Griswold. “My feeling is that the city should be neutral on those things, whether it be LGBTQ or whatever might be on the other side. I just kind of feel we should be neutral,” Griswold said.

For the Prairie Advocate SAVANNA – The Savanna City Council again deadlocked on a vote to replace Mayor Chris Lain. Four council members voted for Alderman Jeff Griswold and four for Mayor Pro Tem Pat Sanchez at the May 26 meeting. Sanchez will remain in the position until such time as an acting mayor can be agreed upon. The council again emphasized that a willing member of the community could be voted into the position. City Attorney Phil Jensen noted another elected official could potentially serve as mayor, holding two positions at once, depending upon the person. Alderman Nick Law asked how the most recent city census, which he had heard came in under 3,000, might affect the potential makeup of the council. Jensen said he and former mayor Lain had discussed this and that he would report back on it, but that he “was concerned about the census being under 3,000.”
MSA project update
MSA’s Steve Herring reported prog-
ress on the projects going on in the city under MSA supervision, with the following highlights: • The Wacker and Oakton Road lift stations: Bidding will commence once property is purchased and a school easement is obtained and the project is prioritized on the IEPA’s Intended Funding Plan. • 2022 roadway improvements: Bid documents have been prepared for the Pike Street plans and the topographic survey of the First Street Alley will be completed this week. • Water main replacement and CDBG grant: Discussions continue about which potential projects to submit for this grant, which could yield up to $1.5 million in help for the city. Water mains have been the focus, with the following areas rated as “good candidates for the funding”: Cooley, Bowen, Gilbert, East Milwaukee, Olive, Towanda, Elm and Bench streets. • Lead water service inventory and replacement planning: MSA is preparing the lead water service survey and setting up the GIS dashboard for survey tracking. These surveys are scheduled to be sent out in early June. About $108 million is available
for this project in fiscal years 2021 to 2023 or until the funds are exhausted. They are up to 100 percent forgivable loans,with $4 million in maximum forgiveness annually. In other action, the council: • Approved pay increases for Public Works employees, four of whom, Eric Hartman, Mark Anderson, Dillon Prowant and Jeff Ashby, received $2 an hour wage increases, while two, Keigan Rice and Ethan Ritchie, received $1 an hour raises, with Ritchie receiving a 50 cents an hour raise now and another 50 cents an hour raise after he completes additional training. • Approved allocating nonbudgeted funds in the amount of $189,700 to MSA to begin the process toward application for a Water Main Replacement Design and CDBG Grant, and also approved the Project Scope and MSA contract related to this grant application. • Approved waiving the annual $50 kennel license fee for Heartland Pet Welfare, while also approving a motion from Alderman Jeff Griswold to have a member of the group appear before the council to advise them on how to handle the issue of feral cats
in the city. Griswold said there is a growing issue with the “stray cat population” on Third Street and also on Fifth Street. He referenced their spay/ neuter/release program, which has been effective in the past. Jensen said the current ordinance placed an “absolute” obligation on those feeding “feral” cats to spay/ neuter and immunize them. Police Chief Jeff Doran spoke to the difficulty of enforcing the ordinance, adding that simply seeing cats follow someone to their porch, etc. was not enough to write a ticket, and Alderman Law brought up the issue of the difficulty of pinning down who was feeding ferals. • Approved a temporary road closure for the Independence Day Parade on July 2 from 6 to 7 p.m., closing Third and Division, Third Street and Main Street.
Picnic canceled
Hotel/Motel Chair Jocelyn Boyd reported that the planned Savanna Pride Picnic sponsored by the Riverview Center has been postponed because of a lack of resources on the part of the Center for that day.

Cardinals win Sterling Supersectional with 6-5 victory May 30 STERLING – After four innings of Monday’s Class 1A Sterling Supersectional, the Forreston softball team found itself in a precarious situation, down 4-0 against a good West Central team. But the resilient Cardinals never quit, cutting the deficit to 4-2 in the top of the fifth on a Hailey Greenfield tworun single, tying the game at 5-5 on a Brooke Boettner two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh, and then walking it off on an Ella Ingram twoout solo home run to win 6-5. The win propels the Cardinals into the state finals in Peoria on Friday, June 3. Forreston will play Casey Westfield in semifinal action. Casey Westfield advanced to the finals with a 3-1 win over Campbell Hill (Trico) at the Johnson City Supersectional. Game time is 12:30 p.m. at the Lousiville Slugger field in Peoria.
