VI  Staff and Committee Reports   6:06

 

1. Public Works (Mrs. Hartmann)

Mrs. Hartmann said they have been keeping themselves busy cleaning up trees, potholes and working out at the plant. If they don’t have work they go home early.

Mrs. Minnear asked what the work was on Court Street and Mrs. Hartmann said that was the 4” water main that had to be put in for the restaurant going in. It is for their fire suppression system, and this was required for them to have the 4” line.

Mr. Rose asked if that was a new hydrant on the corner of Court and Main and Mrs. Hartmann said yes that was a new hydrant itself. We had five that were replaced and the other four are on Williams.

Mrs. Quinlan asked if they pay for that, or the city, and Mrs. Hartmann said they pay for it.

Mrs. Minnear asked about smoothing the road out and Mrs. Hartmann said we are still looking for a company to come in and do some asphalting. She said there are some other areas that also need to be done.

 

 

 

1. Law Enforcement (Chief Cournyer)

Mrs. Hartmann said that everyone should have in their packets the reports sent over from the Morton Police Department.

Mrs. Hartmann said we had received a call list for what they do in our area.

She also commented about the information on the report.

Comments followed.

1. Parks – Mrs. Hartmann

Mrs. Hartmann commented about the current grant and had talked to Gray Osbourne and explained about where the project was originally started but that was not feasible, so it was moved down toward the parking area and the restrooms where it is more level. This started out at about 3 million and it dropped to 1.4 but it still has to come down to 1.2 million. More figuring needs to be done and the project is getting pared down to what we can afford with the grant. Comments followed.

The restrooms have been closed for the most part, so the kids do not go in there.

 

1. Planning Commission – Mrs. Manley

Mrs. Manley said they will not have a meeting till next week, so she does not have anything at the present time.

 

VII    Public Comment on Agenda Items   6:13

Mr. Rose commented on his meeting with the new owner of the DeGoede Farm and what his plan is for the coming year.
