Summary
The City of Lismore council approved its June agenda and monthly financials, authorized a $749 laptop (cost split with Wilmont) for the city clerk, and voted to retain Klosterbuer & Haubrich of Luverne as city attorney.
Council member Austin Garms called the votes that opened the City of Lismore City Council meeting on June 8, and the council approved the agenda with additions and the May 11 minutes. The body also approved the monthly financial statement, payment of invoices, bank statements, time sheets and transfers during the same series of motions.
