March 13 Council Meeting

March was a bit odd for council meetings. We cancelled the regular first meeting because with the short February, we didn't have enough time to meet the publication rules regarding the budget. Then because we moved that meeting to the 2nd Wednesday, we just decided to cancel the regular meeting that was scheduled for the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Follow that? Hey we saved the city $75 by cancelling a meeting (since each council member gets $15 a meeting)

Anyway on to the meeting on the 13th. And since I was slow posting, I barely remember it. But I have a couple notes.....

I think I have this right. Still have 50 houses that haven't had their sumps inspected, and 20 that need re-inspections. Those folks will have a $100 sewer surcharge added if they don't get that taken care of by June.

We approved our 2013-2014 budget, we approved a closing of Maple for the 5K run, and as mentioned above we cancelled our March 20 meeting.

We also had a discussion about the county's offer of assistance in paying for a capital improvement plan. We decided to carry on with what we had already started. We will get assistance for our city administrator, and should get 75% of the plan paid for, so that is nice.

Next meeting is April 3.
