Temple Inland, which tore up that stretch of the roadway for a project last year, paid $250,000 of the total in order to return the street to its prior condition, said McGehee. The city will pay the additional $50,000 for improvements to the street, including widening and striping, while the workers are on-site, he said.
The city funding will reportedly come from the one percent sales tax dedicated to streets.

City Administrator Jerry Bailey said at a previous council meeting that Temple Inland had asked the city to contract for the full amount.
In other business, the council approved two resolutions. One calls for a special election on Oct. 17, for the renewal of millages for municipal services, retirement and pension benefits, and parks, recreation and public buildings. The other amends the rules of public participation during council meetings.
Citizens who want to speak are now required to sign in with the council secretary prior to the meeting to state which of the agenda items they would like to address. They will be allowed to speak only one time per ordinance, and there will be a three minute time limit. Also, to avoid repetition, groups are asked to select a spokesperson to represent the common view.
