Aiken City Council will meet Monday to receive updates regarding the ongoing road construction in the Gem Lakes extension area.
The 5 p.m. work session is open to the public in room 204 in the Municipal Building, 214 Park Ave.
City officials plan to answer questions regarding a report that will show test results that started after a City of Aiken dump truck fell through a sinkhole in Gem Lakes.
Augusta-based company W.R. Toole Engineering Inc. was hired earlier this year for $30,000 to do a soil and roadway investigation in the Gem Lakes area.
In other business, the Aiken Municipal Election Commission will meet at 8 a.m. Monday in Council Chambers to certify the candidates who have filed for the mayor's seat and Districts 1 and 3.
Earlier this month, Council member Lessie Price filed to join local businessman Rick Osbon in the run for the mayor's seat. Longtime Aiken Mayor Fred Cavanaugh announced this year he would not seek re-election.
Local photographer Brent Cline did initially file with the Republican Party to also run for the mayor's seat but told the Aiken Standard he would back out of the race.
Both City Council member Dick Dewar, who represents District 3, and Council member Gail Diggs, who represents District 1, have also filed to seek re-election.
Aiken will hold its general election from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, to fill those three expiring seats on Council.
