New water plant nearing completion

This month’s City Council meeting was focused on maximizing services to Adrian residents while trying to hold down spending. Mayor Ray Cusumano presided over the September 8 meeting; Aldermen Bruce Scarborough, Dennis Kooker, Mike Lemon, and Larry Ritter were in attendance.
Adrian’s new fire truck arrived last Friday. The Fire Department is finishing the preparation that must occur before the truck can be placed in service. The truck will participate in the 9-11 procession, so Adrian residents can view their newest safety equipment.
The Adrian Manor census is down. The current census is 41 residents; 7 residents are Medicare “A”. The Manor has a good relationship with the hospitals in Butler and Harrisonville, but plans are underway to increase marketing efforts to the East and West of Adrian. Bids are out for the Manor’s sprinkler project.
