Local Red Cross office moving to new location

The office of the Mason County Chapter of the American Red Cross will relocate later this month to allow for renovations of its current space for the local parole and probation office.

Approval was given Thursday by Maysville Board of Commissioners to contract with K&M Gerike Construction in the amount of $47,092 to renovate the space at 101 East Second Street. The building is owned by the city's Public Building Corporation, which rents the space to the Kentucky Department of Corrections, Division of Parole and Probation for $21,000 per year.

The Red Cross office will relocate to Maysville Fire Station No. 2, at Kentucky 9 and Kenton Station Road. City Manager Ray Young said improvements to the existing office space at the fire station should be completed by April 1.

The office building housing the parole and probation office will undergo renovations to restroom facilities for compliance with the American with Disabilities Act. The renovation will add more office space for the staff and is expected to be complete by July 1, Young said.

In other business, commissioners:

-- Awarded a contract to Straight Edge Construction of Brooksville in the amount of $58,860 to replace sidewalks on East Third Street.

Young said the project is being funded by state grant money in the amount of $100,000. The initial phase of the contract will replace sidewalks on the south side of East Third Street from the Cox Building at Market Street to the Maysville Motel at Government Street. Because the contract bid came in at a lower cost, the balance of the grant money will be used to replace sidewalks from Government Street to the Mason County Public Library at a later date.

Work is scheduled to begin as soon as weather conditions improve and should take three to four weeks to complete.

-- Accepted the resignation of Officer Brittani Price from the Maysville Police Department.

-- Approved a resolution marking April 1 as National Service Recognition Day in support of local volunteer groups. Members of RSVP, Foster Grandparents and AmericorpVISTA were in attendance at the meeting and were acknowledged by city officials for their volunteer service.
