Mineola City Council approved the bid to pave Park Central for $927,186 Monday.

The road will connect Bromberg with the new Park Central housing subdivision.

The council also reviewed a plan to pay for the project with tax notes, along with funding two new fire trucks.

Total financing of the three projects is $2,855,000.

The fire department has already placed the order for the new pumper-tanker, expected to be delivered in about two years.

Fire Marshal David Madsen said it will be a few months before the department is ready to order a ladder truck.

The note will increase the city’s debt service next year from $1,724,779 to $2,217,529 and by a similar amount for seven years, when the tax note is paid off.

In other business, the council approved a special use permit to operate a tattoo parlor at  214 N. Newsom.

Sue Jones was reelected mayor pro tem after Mayor Jayne Lankford was sworn in for a second term.

Mitch Tuck and Terry Eaton were also sworn in for new terms on the council.
