There was public input at this time from Catherine Steward.  She inquired why discussion on the tape recording policy was not on the agenda.  Mayor Juhl explained that they were waiting for the City Attorney’s response.  They received that information today and it will be discussed at the next council meeting.

 

Department Head Reports were as follows: 

 

Street Department - Street Superintendent Harold Hovick reported on Alliant straightening, fixing the bases and painting the light poles.

 

Water/Wastewater Department – Water/Wastewater Superintendent Dean Uitermark reported on the cost (approx $4260) to fix the standpipe where the cross braces attach to keep the starlings out, rehabilitated 11 manholes, and the swimming pool is scheduled to open on Saturday.
