Tim Moe, Tim Bayerl and Jeff Jedline from Widseth, Smith and Nolting, who did the engineering project for the street and water/sewer repairs in Clarissa last summer, met with the city council to discuss problems with the engineer’s cost for repair projects.

Bayerl explained there were several changes to the plan, the over run was from the length of time of construction and more staking than expected.
