MINUTES OF THE ROLAND CITY COUNCIL

REGULAR SESSION

OCTOBER 9, 2006

 

The Roland City Council met in regular session on Monday, October 9, 2006, at 7:00 p.m., at City Hall with Mayor Samuel Juhl presiding.  Council members present at roll call were Bob Hanson, John Lee and Jeri Neely.  Absent were council members Duane Canny and Roger Fritz.  Also present were 2 visitors and members of the community.

 

It was motioned by Neely, seconded by Lee to approve the consent agenda containing the following items:  agenda, minutes from the September 25, 2006, meeting as written, clerk’s reports, and claims as submitted.  All were in favor.

 

There was public input at this time from Lt. David Lekwa.  He stated that things are going smoothly in Roland and asked if the council had anything for him to report back to the Sheriff’s Office.  The council members expressed their displeasure with the new monthly police report format.  Lt. Lekwa explained the reasoning for the new report and stated that as they get more information inputted into the computer the reports should get better.

 

There was also input from Library Board President Rick DeWald.  He provided the Mayor and Council members with a list of the free items the library picked up from the Des Moines Public Library last week.  The furnishings will be used to furnish the new library building.

 

Department Head Reports were as follows: 

 

Street Department - Street Superintendent Harold Hovick had nothing to report at this time.

 

Water/Wastewater Department – Water/Wastewater Superintendent Dean Uitermark had nothing to report at this time.

 

City Clerk - City Clerk Deneen Frost asked the council if they want the employees to continue filling out their daily log sheets.  Consensus of the council members present was that it wasn’t necessary.

 

Council/Mayor comments consisted of the following:  Council member Lee thanked Dean and Harold for cutting off the pipe that was sticking up out of the ground at the old water tower lot.  Council member Hanson asked why the tornado siren has to be tested every Saturday.  City Clerk Frost and Lt. Lekwa explained that it is to keep the grease from gumming up and ruining the motor and it lets the City know that the siren is working.  Council member Hanson would like to have more information on why it has to be done every week.  City Clerk Frost will contact Lori Morrissey with Emergency Management for more information.

 

There was no public input at this time.

 

With no further business at this time, Neely moved adjournment of the meeting at 7:18 p.m., second by Lee.  All were in favor.  The next regular council meeting will be Monday, October 23, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall.
