NORTH WEBSTER — During Tuesday evening’s monthly meeting of the North Webster Town Council, Town Marshal Greg Church reminded the council and the public that the abandoned property sale of items collected by the police department will close at 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 25.

Sealed bids can be dropped off at North Webster Town Hall during business hours until that time.

The sale includes numerous bicycles in varying conditions, along with tools and other items. The bid is for the entire lot. All items can be viewed at town hall during business hours, or by contacting the North Webster Police Department at (574) 834-2700.

In other business:

• Town Manager Mike Noe requested and received approval to purchase necessary replacement parts and equipment for lift station A in the amounts of $18,128 and $4,855.

• The council tabled a proposal by a citizen to purchase a wood chipper for $7,500. The chipper previously had been open for sealed bids; however, none were received. Noe suggested the chipper was worth more than the amount offered after the bidding was closed. The council will reconsider its options and discuss it at its next meeting.

• Neil Likens requested and approved a road closure of West Huntington Street between Main Street and Harrison Street, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, July 29, during Dixie Day. This is similar to a closure that was approved in 2022.

• The council heard a variance review request from Billy and Jill Colwell, 549 N. Fifth St., North Webster. They are requesting a building variance for new construction. The council determined it was an issue for the zoning board and the neighbors who might be affected.

The next meeting of the North Webster Town Council is at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 15, at the North Webster Community Center. The meeting is open to the public.
