The Skyline City Council on March 10 reviewed progress on the town’s Pump House and the broader water-treatment project and approved related administrative paperwork.
City Treasurer Lon Whitehead presented the February financial report, reporting receipts of $26,115.33 and payables of $11,245.33. Whitehead told the council the city’s total fund balance stands at $642,483.62; $207,851.39 of that balance remains designated for the Water Tower/Pump House project. The council accepted the treasurer’s report and voted to pay the bills; the motion was moved by Councilmember Eric Manske and seconded by Councilmember Michelle Kotila and passed unanimously.
Council members also reviewed bank paperwork to add Samantha Erickson as an authorized signor and remove the previous clerk from the Community Bank accounts; the paperwork was presented for the mayor’s and clerk’s signatures. Treasurer Whitehead noted he will be absent from next month’s meeting. The council discussed Property and Casualty Insurance and agreed to continue not waiving the monetary limit on torts for the upcoming policy period.
On infrastructure, city staff reported that the Pump House project still requires a few adjustments and painting; staff said additional programming is needed to display certain items on the Pump House control screen. City staff reported the Pump House is communicating with the tower and that monitoring readings are correct. Separately, the mayor completed the signature for Water Treatment Project payment #12.
The council also addressed operational items from the Water Department: landscapers will be asked to move dirt around the tower when ground conditions allow, and Councilmember Steve Romnes will discuss seeding and sprinkler needs with Pearson. Charlie Berg reported planned meter reads for the weekend and said two residences still require outside meter readings. Staff noted a chlorine odor while levels are being adjusted.
The meeting concluded with routine business and an adjournment at 7:25 p.m.
