Mayor Andersen made assignments to the list that is attached. Number 5 on the list states
Hire contract building inspector. Mayor Andersen would like to hire a building inspector
and keep the revenue in the City. We would need someone who is certified, have set
hours and consistent.
Number I on the list states RV pads by old compound. Jean Koepplin who lives by the
City Park said that the park is a day time park and not a night time park. People who
come to town to stay over night can stay with family in their driveways. There are no
hook ups. Mayor Andersen suggested may be just installing electricity. Mayor Andersen
said that a Fiddlers group is renting the building in April and would like a place for RV's
to park overnight. He thought they could park along the south side of the building and
charge $10.00 per night.
The Council discussed the purchase of a new pick up. Mayor Andersen said that bids had
been gathered. No motion will be necessary at the next Council meeting because the
purchase of the pick up was approved in the current year's budget. Works Supervisor,
Zech Prouse and Ross Johnson decided on a single cab, 8 foot bed, brand new GMC pick
up. Wackerli had the best buy and fleet number. It is white, V-8 automatic, 4 wheel
drive. The pick up will be purchased for $17,685.16. We will keep the old blue one.
Mayor Andersen asked that Treasurer Ron Nelson lead the discussion on the budget each
month.

back to discuss the RV pad at the park.

services at the City building last week end.
Council member Scott Long asked what the intentions are for the old fire truck. It needs
