Hillsboro city council members made short work of a light agenda during Tuesday’s meeting.

Council members voted to accept a $3.1 million loan from Kansas Department of Health and Environment to replace water lines and meters.

Nowak Construction Company was the low bidder for installation of sewer line in the Russell Groves subdivision on the east edge of Hillsboro. Nowak’s bid was $99,300.

Foley Equipment was awarded a bid on a 2017 skid steer loader. Foley bid $40,960. The skid loader will replace a 2017 skid steer tractor with a lease expiring in February.
