A representative for the state had little information to offer the planning board Tuesday night.

City council will vote Thursday on a proposal to tap into reserve funds to help buy two new rescue vehicles.

Mayor has said homeless shelter or soup kitchen incompatible with neighborhood while St. Mark’s is looking for organization to carry on its mission to help people.

The proposal is part of a state Department of Health and Human Services effort to regain federal certification for Riverview and the $20 million annual federal funding reimbursement that comes with it.

The city said it hired a contractor to remove a yard full of junk, but the homeowner’s son said antiques and collectibles were among the items hauled off.

The installation of higher berms and overhead baffles would reduce the sound volume to that of normal human speech, according to a shooting range architect.

Programming for the Augusta Boys and Girls Club for Teens will continue as planned but will be held in a different part of the building.

The proposal could move state workers out of downtown as the state looks for a developer to find a productive reuse for the former Department of Transportation maintenance garage.

Both those roads served as alternative routes for drivers during a two-year, $4.3 million reconstruction of nearby Mount Vernon Avenue, which wrapped up earlier this summer.
