Feb 8 council meeting

Pretty quick council meeting tonite. Also another council meeting, another skipped items because out of town people couldn't make it due to a snow storm. If this keeps up, expect a big snow storm on Feb 22.

Anyway, we approved an Alliant electric franchise for another 25 years. Sounds like Roland fireworks will be on July 3. We also cleaned up some of the budget details. We were able to come up with another $5000 for the pool shelter house to get a new roof. Final budget will be approved at the next meeting. Employees will tentatively be getting a 3% raise.

I drove thru town last night after the Super Bowl. The snow was coming down, and the Christmas lights sure looked pretty. Except it was Feb 7. With all the snow, and being down an employee to help, Harold hasn't had a chance to get the Christmas lights down yet, in case you were wondering. They might look ridiculous if it was 60 degrees outside, but they still look good with our wonderful snowy weather.

We have narrowed the list of candidates for the water/wastewater position down, and will be contacting them for interviews. Hopefully we can get a person hired soon, and we can start moving forward on that, as well as things like taking down Christmas lights!

Don't hurt your back shoveling snow!
