The Inwood City Council on Jan. 5 approved a package of routine business and several formal resolutions, including a proposed sale of Lot #2 in the North End Subdivision, the appointment of Micah Schreurs as City Attorney, and naming Security Savings as the city's depository.
A motion by Rick Rozeboom, seconded by Mark Timmerman, introduced and moved for adoption Resolution #1-26 to propose the disposal of Lot #2 to Rodrigo Lopez Cortes and Maria Erika Curiel; the council voted aye unanimously and scheduled a public hearing on Feb. 9. Resolution #2-26 (appointment and compensation for the City Attorney) carried on a motion by Mark Timmerman and second by Laurel Reinke.
