TORRINGTON – Street repair contracts and a liquor license transfer headlined the Torrington City Council meeting Tuesday evening, Feb. 6. More than $150,000 was approved for surface repair projects on several streets from the Vistas to West 14th Avenue.
Following a brief public hearing during which there were no comments, the Council voted unanimously to transfer the liquor license from 77 Capital Corp dba Spirits Sports Bar & Grill to 307 Sports Bar & Grill, LLC dba 307 Sports Bar & Grill. The business, located in the truck stop east of Torrington on Highway 26, is now operated by Charlie and Julie Harshberger
Several city streets will benefit from chip seal and crack fill preservation projects this year.

In a project scheduled for completion by Sept. 14, streets between West 25th and 30th Avenues will be resurfaced with 46,890 square yards of chip seal, at a cost of $46,890. Topkote, Inc., of Yankton, S.D., had the winning bid, beating out Simon Company’s bid of $117,693.90.
May 11 is the scheduled completion date for a $37,500 crack fill project. Streets included are West 22 and 23 Avenues, as well as West 14th through West 19th Avenues. Highway Improvements, Inc., of Sioux Falls, S.D., secured that project with a bid of $37,500. Other bids came from Superior Asphalt at $80,367.50, and Topkote with $44,072.50. The bid was for 51,850 linear feet of hot mix joint sealant.
In other action, the Council approved Resolution 2018-2, adopting a Statement of Investment Policy, as required by statute, and approved payment of bills from Jan. 17 to Feb. 6, totaling $56,604.77.
The Council then went into executive session to discuss litigation and personnel issues, after which no action was taken.
