Sullivan on this item. Council Member Geray inquired why the annual audit fee for Searle Hart

fund. Clerk Roberts commented she would get with Treasurer Sullivan on this item. Council
President Gubler inquired what the support cost each month is for the Caselle Software. Clerk
Roberts reported she believes it is between $200 - $250 a month. Mayor Andersen explained the
City had to purchase the W-2 Electronic Module as it wasn't part of the original purchase.
Council President Gubler noted water collections were below 34% in revenue. Director Prouse
explained it typically comes up after February due to the City not doing shutoffs in December.
Clerk Roberts commented she would get with Treasurer Sullivan on this item.
