We swear, this is the last we’ll talk about toilets for a considerable amount of time, but some Phoenix Park bathroom stuff got sort of more or less kind of decided at last night’s Eau Claire city council meeting. The council voted 10-0 in favor of getting more bathroom bids, in hopes of bringing the price down. Here’s more from one of our fine, local news sources:

• Tuesday night, the council unanimously agreed the city should entertain offers from contractors for a second bathroom at the park.  They also don't want to spend anymore than $150,000 of taxpayer money.  ...
• The city will have some funding help: the North Barstow Bid District announced it would give $50,000 to the project. Read more at WQOW.

An additional interesting comment “pro b-room” comment came from City Council member Dana Wachs': "I think it's a safety issue. My goodness, you've got food service workers down there with no space to wash hands."

Indeed.
