Council discusses pool staffing, water treatment restart and building inspection; cemetery purchase returned to agenda
Summary
Council discussed pool staffing shortages and recruitment, reported the water treatment plant was brought back online, said Otte Construction will inspect the library building, and agreed to revisit a cemetery land purchase after owners asked for a higher price.
During the April 20 meeting the Wisner City Council addressed several operational items affecting city services and facilities.
Councilwoman Cathy Gobar asked for an update on hiring for the city pool. City Clerk/Treasurer Stephanie James said the city had received three applications but still needs additional lifeguards and a pool manager; council members suggested outreach to nearby pools to share lifeguards as a recruitment strategy.
City Administrator Randy Woldt reported the water treatment plant had been put back online and was running normally. "In a few weeks everyone will have clean water," Woldt said. Woldt also said he plans to have Otte Construction from Wayne inspect the library building, which is showing signs of deterioration.
Woldt reported a collapsed clay tile near Wisner True Value; a new basin and plastic pipe will be installed to repair the drainage. Separately, Councilman Barry Meyer said owners of cemetery land under consideration are seeking a higher price and asked that the cemetery purchase be placed on the next agenda for further consideration.
The council received these operational updates but took no formal action on staffing solutions, the library inspection, drainage repairs or the cemetery purchase at this meeting.
