Council orders dump truck, seeks volunteers for commissions; parks to host fall events; new finance director welcomed
Summary
Council reports at the Sept. 15 meeting covered a budgeted dump-truck order for public works, multiple commission vacancies, Parks & Rec fall events, scheduling changes for commission meetings and the introduction of the city's new finance director.
During reports on Sept. 15, Council member Hagerty said the public works commission authorized a budgeted purchase of a new dump truck that is now on order and estimated delivery at one to two-and-a-half years. Hagerty asked residents to consider volunteering for two open public-works commission seats and noted the commission’s next meeting is Dec. 2 at 6 p.m. Council member Swenson said he moved from his long-term public-works liaison role to serve on the public-safety commission and reminded the public-safety commission’s next meeting is Dec. 4 at 6 p.m. Council member Conrad said the planning commission had no recent activity and its next meeting is Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. Council member Hemmingson listed Parks & Recreation events: Bunko starts Oct. 3 at Heritage Park and trunk-or-treat is set for Oct. 24 (time to be announced on the Parks & Rec Facebook page). Mayor Franke introduced Dawn as the city’s new director of finance, who started the previous Monday. The consent agenda earlier in the meeting also included approval of a pay voucher to Geisinger & Sons for Third Street reconstruction, which the council approved as part of the consent package.
