The large smokestack at the Coffeyville Municipal Light and Power Plant will eventually get a new coat of paint.

The Coffeyville City Commission gave approval for an internal and external drone inspection to take a look at the condition of the stack and recommend any repairs if needed. Electric Generation Superintendent Tony Lawson explains the process.

The last inspection and paint coating was completed in 2012. Lawson says the painting may not happen until the spring.

In other business, the commission approved purchase orders for roof projects at the Electric Distribution Warehouse, City Hall and the Wastewater Treatment Plant. They also approved a contract to install a new ceiling grid for the ground floor offices in City Hall.
