Andrew council approves consent agenda, reviews finances and discusses community events and traffic-safety measures
Summary
The council approved the consent agenda and reviewed June financials (total revenues $128,301.98; total expenses $121,467.64), discussed a tentative ECIA walk-around and potluck on Aug. 21, and considered pursuing a grant for solar speed signs.
The Andrew City Council unanimously approved its consent agenda at the July 9, 2024 meeting and reviewed the clerk's financial reports and accounts payable. A motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Council member Regan and seconded by Council member Williams.
The clerk reported gross wages of $3,744.99 and June fund-level figures that showed total revenues of $128,301.98 and total expenses of $121,467.64. The clerk also listed payables to multiple vendors, including a $5,000 building payment to the Andrew Benefited Fire Department, $2,595.95 to Dittmer Recycling, and $1,621.79 to PeopleService for water and wastewater service. The transcript provides line-item payables but does not show discussion or changes to those amounts.
Council members used the reports segment to raise local operational items. Council member Williams said the clerk was working with the East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) on a potential grant for solar speed signs; Williams also said he had received a complaint about dogs barking, to which Mayor Mike Roeder responded that an ordinance covers barking dogs and suggested calling the sheriff.
Council member Till reported ballfield usage went well this year, that she is awaiting a call from Dan Fox about speed signs, and that she will check prices for tables and chairs for the community center. Council member Rowan said she had received complaints about fireworks and noted Black Hills Energy needed more information for their grant; Till and Regan volunteered to help collect the information. Council member Regan said the new owner of the former locker building wants to convert it into a car wash and will be invited to the August meeting to discuss requirements. Regan also related a complaint from a resident named Portz about a tree; the council decided it would not continue trimming the tree but would remove it if the owner requested removal.
Witt reported the bus barn needs parking markings and the council decided to paint the curb yellow for no parking; Witt also said new street signs are being installed and that he is removing items from the old jail property that was sold.
The council adjourned at 7:40 p.m. following a motion by Regan and a second by Rowan.
The transcript excerpts do not include public comments or recorded roll-call vote tallies for the consent agenda items beyond the notation 'All ayes.'
