The Caneyville City Commission is taking steps to make sure people do not use gas motors while fishing on the city lake.

Commission members this past Monday agreed to install signage prohibiting gasoline motors on the lake.

The commission agreed on this rule after Commissioner Debbie Duke was approached by a resident and asked about the possibility of using a gas motor on the city lake.

The commission agreed to leave the ordinance as it stood and continue to restrict the lake traffic to non-motorized engines.

They also agreed to alert lake users of the ordinance by installing a sign.

The commission received an update from Kenviron representative Vern Shanklin on the progress of the Manhole Cover Project that began eight months ago.

Shanklin reported being unable to contact the contractor, Site Ready Construction, LLC and suggested the commission send a letter to him giving him 30 days to complete the work.

Most of the work on the manhole covers was complete and the contactor has received payment for the work that was finished but there are five manholes that had not even been touched, reported Shanklin.

The commission agreed to let the mayor try to contact a relative of the contractor and if he was unsuccessful the commission will look at sending him a letter.

In other business the commission agreed:

• Agreed to accept a sealed bid on the sale of a 1994 GMC truck owned by the City of Caneyville.

• Agreed to provide lunch for the road crew from the Grayson County Detention Center that cuts the grass and does other landscape needs of the city.

• Agreed to widen the road that leads to the dumpsters at the sewer treatment plant and build a new building there. The old building is falling down.
