Andrew City Council approves consent agenda; tables wind-turbine ordinance and electrical quote
Summary
The Andrew City Council approved its consent agenda and financial reports, tabled a draft wind-turbine ordinance for further drafting by Councilmember Williams, requested additional electrical bids and heard several operational updates including plans to close the concession stand and install new street signs.
The Andrew City Council approved its consent agenda and financial reports at the Oct. 8 regular meeting, then moved to table further action on a proposed wind-turbine ordinance and an electrical services quote pending additional work and bids.
Mayor Mike Roeder called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and the council voted to approve the consent agenda, which included the minutes of the Sept. 10 meeting and the acting clerk's financial report. The motion to approve was made by Regan and seconded by Williams and carried with "all ayes." The financial summary presented detailed accounts payable and payroll, including a $13,300 invoice to Central Tank for water-tower cleaning and inspection and gross wages totaling $3,606.29 for the pay period.
Councilmember Williams reported on a draft ordinance related to a wind turbine and said he would prepare the ordinance language for the council; the item was tabled until the next meeting to allow Williams time to draft the ordinance. The council also reviewed an electrical-services quote but requested additional quotes and deferred action to the next meeting so the bids could be compared.
There was discussion of PeopleService water and wastewater matters but no motions were made. Councilmember Rowan questioned the city-hall electric bill, saying she still felt it was too high; council members agreed to monitor the next month's bill before deciding on any further steps. Regan reported several stop signs need replacing, and Till asked the clerk to provide her a copy of the community-center rental contracts for review.
Witt reported he would shut down the concession stand, install new street signs and work on water surveys; the acting city clerk, Patty Hardin, emphasized the importance of submitting the required water surveys before the deadline.
At 7:32 p.m., Jamison moved to adjourn, Regan seconded and the motion carried with all ayes. The meeting record includes Mayor Mike Roeder's signature line and Patty Hardin's attestation as acting city clerk.
