ESC Superintendent Dr. Fiene appeared before the City Council the city council approved resolutions supporting and taking part as the fiduciary agent in a program that allows the school to get a grant from the Department of Transportation to install safety measures including, but not limited to sidewalk replacement, crosswalks, and flashing lights at busy intersections. The grant could be for as much as $250K for both Sac City and Wall Lake, but the entire und is only $1.7 Million, leaving the possibility that the maximum will not be awarded. The amount that Superintended indicated the Wall Lake school is asking for is $178K.
The committee that coordinated this grant has been meeting in secret for at least 6 months. Dr. Fiene was unable to answer the question of who would be responsible for determining which projects would be installed should the full asking not be approved, though he did suggest that the non disclosed members of the committee might be considered as the body that would prioritize how the money would be spent.
The Wall Lake City Council did approve the resolutions adopting the Safe Rotes to School Plan unanimously.
