April 26 Council Meeting

Not a lot on the docket tonite. Some expected news, but always good to hear. We got a report from our auditors, and they found everything to be in good shape in regards to the city's finances. Basically all the money is where it should be, so that is good.

We had a brief discussion about street projects. The streets committee is going to meet with Streets Superintendent Harold and work out a plan, and get it written down, as to where we want to go with street improvements over future years. After the next council meeting, we are going to have a special streets meeting, to nail it down with the whole council's approval hopefully. Then we can go forward with what we want to do with streets.

This will help get the ball rolling. We do have streets that need work, and if we aren't going to be able to do major upgrades, we are going to have to seal coat them, to tide us over. I'm not real keen about that.

We talked about an idea to put a 4 (3) way stop sign by the pool during the summer. There is concern about speed and traffic along there. The council gave it some good consideration, but decided against it, due to the road being narrow, and getting the sign hit, also the noise from decelerating and accelerating vehicles, and if it truly would be valuable to protect kids. The council decided to look into alternating warning lights that could be lit when the pool is open. Not a done deal, but Harold will be looking at prices. One I can think of to compare is on US 30 in front of United School, if you have ever been by there.

We did some other administrative stuff-paid the bills and so on. Also set the date for public viewings of our new code of ordinances. Not much of a change there, but they have to be codified. Come into City Hall if you want to see "The Law of Roland"!
