Florence seeks road improvements

Florence city council Monday took action to improve its roads.

The council approved $3,178.70 purchase of an asphalt-recycling agent and other supplies for patching potholes on 5th St.

“We have to do something over here,” council member Ken Hoffman said. “We keep patching and patching, but get nowhere.”

The purchase will be paid from the city’s highway fund.

Council members also approved interim city clerk Heather Thiel’s salary at $16 per hour.
