B-2 Wednesday, November 17, 2021 The Press-Dispatch latest it can be bid. If it is de- layed again, they will lose the project and have to reapply for it with no guarantee they will get it again. Councilman Gary Leavitt asked how many feet of water line were being replaced. Roos said about 1,500 feet. "That is going to be your biggest problem," said Leavitt, referring to increased costs. Pipe costs are expected to in- crease by as much as 40 per- cent. Mayor Klipsch said the Streetscape project has re- quested Petersburg sign a let- ter of agreement that Peters- burg will be liable for the cost of delays if the waterline proj- ect interferes with the Street- scape project. Beck said it will be 30 to 45 days after the Streetscape project is bid before they would issue a "notice to pro- ceed" to a contractor. He said this should allow for the water line replacement project to be well underway and stay ahead of the Streetscape project. He said the Streetscape project would be working a block at a time, and start on the south end and work its way north. The water line project is expected to be in actual con- struction sometime in Febru- ary and start at the south end and go north. The city council voted 5 -0 to authorize Mayor Klipsch to send in the letter agreeing to pay for delays. In other business, May- or Klipsch asked for signs to be put up in an empty lot on Main St. at the corner of Sev- enth and Main Sts., and also on Eighth St. Leavitt said they are having a problem with peo- ple walking their dogs and not cleaning up after them in these two areas. Klipsch said they have seen it happening from City Hall at the lot across the street. "That is where our Santa House is going to be." The next City Council meet- ing is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, December 6. We're not afraid to shed some light on the truth. 812-354-8500 SUBSCRIBE TODAY! Want to share your news with others?

Seger and Peters- burg Police Sgt. Chad McClel- lan were following informa- tion that Colton Mallory, 26, of 1304 S. CR 75 W., Peters- burg, who had an active felo- ny warrant for burglary, was at his residence on November 11. Following the use of K9 Bleck, and assistance from Chief Deputy Dallas Killian and Deputy Bryce Manning, Mallory was apprehended and charged with possession of methamphetamine, posses- sion of paraphernalia, resist- ing law enforcement, battery on an official and a burglary warrant. Mallory was reported to be in a shed on the 75 W. proper- ty and given numerous com- mands to come out by Seger and McClellan, advising the K9 would be released and would bite. Mallory held the door shut and then struggled with McClellan before Seger was forced to release K9 Bleck on Mallory. K9 Bleck bit Mal- lory on the inside of his left thigh, which enabled offi- cers to bring Mallory to the ground. During a search of Mallory, a glass smoking pipe and al- so a baggie with powder were found, both testing positive for methamphetamine. Emer- gency Medical Services were called in due to department policy, according to the re- port. Mallory was transported to the hospital and cleared for transport to the Pike County Jail and was arrested for pos- session of methamphetamine under five grams, possession of paraphernalia, resisting law enforcement and battery of a public safety official.
