The McDonough City Council voted at its May 20 regular meeting to approve a major road improvement expenditure along with a capital project improvement and a new police car.

A construction contract was awarded to C&C Lovejoy LLC for $375,000 to build a roundabout on Postmaster Drive, to be paid for from the city’s SPLOST funds. Other SPLOST money will fund a $51,900 contract with National Building Contractors, Inc. to waterproof the interior and exterior of the Polk Building.

The council approved the purchase of a 2019 Dodge Charger Pursuit with all necessary equipment at a total cost of $31,351.47 to be paid from an insurance check for a previously totaled vehicle as well as money from the city’s general fund.
