Council awarded the fire-hall electrical contract to Kuehl's Electric (Mayor abstained), approved a chicken and zoning permit for 211 Birch St E, authorized sidewalk removal at 131 Main St E, waived a sewer-connection fee and approved paying city-related work at $50/hour for a local helper.
The Trimont City Council voted April 21 to award the bid for wiring new heaters in the fire hall to Kuehl's Electric; the vote was recorded as 4-0 with Mayor Kevin Kuehl abstaining. The action closed a previously tabled electrical item.

The council also approved paying Dave Lubben $50 per hour for assistance he provided (motion 5-0) and waived the sewer connection fee for Tom Echmann (5-0).
Public Works business included keeping the shelter house open to the public unless reserved or severe weather is expected and approving advertising for summer help at $15/hour.
