The Tea City Council met Dec. 21 and held a public hearing on a resolution on the sanitary sewer regionalization phase II.

The council approved resolution 20-12-21, authorizing an application for financial assistance, authorizing the execution and submittal of the application and designating city administrator Dan Zulkosky to certify and sign payment requests for the sanitary sewer regionalization phase II project not to exceed $8,394,000.
