Getting ideas on what pro-jects the city should seek grants for next year, will be the goal of the Brodhead City Council when it holds a public hearing sometime this month, the council agreed at a meeting Monday night.

The council did not set a date from a hearing, but it will be announced at least a week before the hearing Is scheduled.

The city accepted a low bid of $38,000 for the construction. Brod-
