Under the bright lights of Decatur's city hall, council members gathered to address pressing matters that shape the community's future. Among the key discussions was the approval of a significant agreement aimed at enhancing the city's water infrastructure.

In a decisive move, the council unanimously approved a contract with Kimley Horn for $1,830,000. This agreement will fund continued professional services related to the expansion of the city’s water treatment plant. The expansion is crucial as Decatur seeks to meet the growing demands of its residents and ensure a reliable water supply. The motion was met with a chorus of "ayes," signaling strong support for the initiative.

As the meeting progressed, the council turned its attention to a quitclaim deed. However, staff requested to pull this item from the agenda due to an error in the owner's name. This oversight highlighted the importance of accuracy in municipal dealings, and the council agreed to revisit the matter once the correct information is available.

Another significant topic was the renewal of a contract with GoWell Technologies. The council was briefed on the past year's achievements with the company, which has been instrumental in enhancing city services. The renewal aims to continue leveraging GoWell's expertise to improve operational efficiency.

As the meeting wrapped up, it was clear that Decatur's leadership is focused on strategic investments in infrastructure and technology, laying the groundwork for a sustainable future. The decisions made in this session reflect a commitment to addressing the needs of the community while ensuring that the city remains prepared for growth and development.
