MINUTES OF THE ROLAND CITY COUNCIL

REGULAR SESSION

JULY 10, 2006

 

The Roland City Council met in regular session on Monday, July 10, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. at the Roland City Hall, with Mayor Samuel Juhl presiding.  Council members present at roll call were:  Roger Fritz, Bob Hanson, and John Lee.  Absent were council members Duane Canny and Jeri Neely.  Also present were 3 visitors and members of the community.

 

Motion by Lee, second by Hanson to approve the consent agenda containing the following items: agenda, minutes from the June 26, 2006, meeting as written, clerk’s reports, and claims as submitted.  All were in favor.  Council member Fritz would like it noted that at the last council meeting, during the Street Department report, he also stated the new street name signs Harold put up looked good.

 

There was no public input at this time.

 

Department Head reports were as follows: 

 

Streets - Street Superintendent Harold Hovick had nothing to report at this time.  Council member Lee said the town looked nice with the flags put up for the 4th and Roland Days.

 

Water/Wastewater - Water/Wastewater Superintendent Dean Uitermark reported the supplies for the W. Maple Street water main replacement will be here tomorrow.  They (Kent and Dean) have visited with Sharon Selch about the easement on her property.  She is going to have the easement agreement reviewed by her attorney.  Kent is hoping to start replacing the water main starting at Green Street tomorrow or Wednesday.  Council member Fritz asked about the sewer main project at Innovative Lighting.  Dean said the project is complete and so far it seems to be working.  They haven’t had any backup.

 

City Clerk- City Clerk Deneen Frost reported she was given information that Doug Pyle would be will to sell the city 40 acres of land, at $5000.00 an acre, for flood control.  Consensus of the council was to thank Mr. Pyle for the offer, but they’d rather see him sell the property to a developer.

 

It was motioned by Lee, seconded by Fritz to approve the request of Randy Kalkwarf and reimburse him for claims incurred due to the city’s sewer main being plugged, in the amount of $302.05, contingent upon him sign the release agreement provided by the City Attorney.  All were in favor.

 

Discussion on the employee’s health insurance was tabled until the next council.

 

Council/Mayor comments consisted of the following:  Council member Hanson inquired if there has been anymore information on getting the light poles painted.  Harold reported that Blaine, with Alliant Energy,  has turned the issue over to the Plant Management Department.

 

There was no public input at this time.

 

With no further business at this time, Lee moved adjournment of the meeting at 7:17 p.m., second by Fritz.  All were in favor.  The next regular council meeting will be Monday, July 24, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall.
