Freeman council approves parade permit, board appointments, surplus declarations and facility cleaning
Summary
Council approved a parade permit for Hometown Christmas, appointed two members to the golf course board, declared surplus equipment for disposal, and approved a one‑time fire hall cleaning, among other routine administrative votes.
During the meeting the Freeman City Council approved several routine administrative items by voice or roll call vote.
Parade permit: The council approved a special event license for the "Hometown Christmas" parade of lights and route arrangements. Organizers said the permit covered the parade only and that no liquor license was required for the event.
Golf board appointments: The council approved adding Leah Lachman and Peg Walner to the golf course board to fill two open seats. Members discussed staggered terms and whether to change the ordinance or let the board manage rotation internally.
Surplus property: Council declared certain library items surplus (many with little or no value) and approved declaring an older Alamo mower and a 1997 International truck surplus to be sent to Weaman's/the local disposition channel for sale or disposal.
Facility cleaning: The council approved an initial cleaning of the fire hall for $792, with the cost to be split between the fire department and ambulance service; the council asked staff to reassess after the initial cleaning and determine any further remediation needs.
Other actions: The council completed a second reading to expand the Tree City Board from five to seven members and held a first reading of a supplemental budget; no final budget action occurred during the meeting. The meeting closed with a motion to enter an executive session to discuss personnel.
