Hunter council approves minutes and bills, hears water and parks updates
Summary
At its March 2 meeting the Hunter City Council approved minutes and bills, reviewed a water report showing a 5,620-gallon loss and five late accounts, discussed culvert pricing, and recorded a request for a Community Easter Egg Hunt. A guest suggested sewer meters may be driving up the electric bill.
The Hunter City Council on March 2 approved routine business, heard reports on water and community-room revenues, discussed culvert pricing and park plans, and recorded a public comment about a high electrical bill.
Joyce Schneider moved to approve the minutes “as read,” and Dixie Sloggett seconded; the motion carried. Chad Hauser moved to pay the bills as presented; Sloggett seconded and the motion carried. The meeting record does not include roll-call tallies for these routine approvals.
Staff member Laura Pahls reported five accounts on the late-water list and a water loss of 5,620 gallons for the month; she said sewer operations were going well and that she expects to open park restrooms around the end of March or beginning of April. The community room took in $300 in February, and the treasurer reported the municipal budget was at roughly 82% of the year-to-date plan; Laura said dog-tag sales have earned $310 so far.
Councilmember Chad Hauser raised culvert options, saying a 20-foot culvert from Welbourne in Salina would cost about $600 delivered; the council did not move to purchase culverts at this meeting. Laura Pahls requested on behalf of the Youth Group permission to use city property for a Community Easter Egg Hunt on April 4 at 11:00 a.m.; she also said she will hang signs around town and that the council will accept mowing bids at the April 6 meeting.
Guest Matt Schroeder commented that the town's electric bill is high and suggested "maybe it’s the sewer meters." No follow-up or response is recorded in the meeting transcript. The council adjourned following a motion by Chad Hauser and a second by Dixie Sloggett.
