The Mitchell City Council on Tuesday night approved an agreement with Kogel Archaeological Services for the Kelley Wetland Project at Lake Mitchell. The Army Corp of Engineers has required a Cultural Resource Survey be completed as part of their permitting process for the project. The survey will include a records search for surveys or cultural resources previously identified, examine historic atlas and plat maps, conduct a pedestrian survey and a subsurface evaluation to evaluate the likelihood of buried cultural resources. The agreement was unanimously approved.
The council also approved an agreement with McLaury Engineering for 3rd and Main Streetscape improvements including removal and renovation of the existing roadway surface, sidewalks, and complete replacement of the storm sewer. The vote in favor of the agreement was 7-1.
