been installed at the wastewater plant and the clean outs at the Industrial
Park have been capped.

Marvin Wright, Library Board President,
presented the council with a copy of the tentative floor plan for the library
and introduced the architect Jennifer Sikes.
The plan has been discussed with the Board and the Employees, but it has
not been officially approved yet. Once

stuff in the rear of the building this weekend.

Varley to approve Resolution No. 09-17 entitled, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE

follows: AYE: Canny, Ford, Johnson, Neely, Varley;
NAY: none. Whereupon Mayor Pro-tem Canny declared the
resolution duly adopted and the same placed on file. CM Johnson would like it clarified in the
minutes that - As of now, the ultimate intent is to go to the Coop site. This is a temporary move. We are authorizing money in this resolution
for the temporary move, but if money doesn’t materialize it could be permanent.

from Municipal Pipe and Tool for the reverse smoking and televising of the four
sanitary sewer lines questioned in the smoke testing report. All were in favor.
It was moved
by Varley, seconded by Johnson to cancel the council meeting scheduled for
