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
