Council hears police, streets and Chamber reports; Chamber plans March 25 circus
Summary
City staff presented routine reports: two police units (2022 and 2023) pending delivery and loan financing, potholes reported for street repairs, and the Chamber of Commerce announced a circus March 25 at the baseball fields and that it will supply 1,500 gallons of water and porta‑potties because restrooms are not working.
During reports at the Jan. 21 meeting, staff noted two police units (model years 2022 and 2023) are pending delivery and the city is seeking a loan to secure them; the minutes say delivery timelines can take about 120 days and often run longer. Councilor Sheryl Baker asked about Indian court options to reduce travel; an individual identified in the minutes as Ford said using Zoom could save on mileage. The fire department indicated it wants a wrecked unit; the treasurer had submitted a report by email.
Street and Alley maintenance was flagged for many potholes that need filling. The Chamber of Commerce said it has 501(c)(6) status, will host a circus March 25 at the baseball fields, will provide insurance, and will pay for 1,500 gallons of water for the event; because the bathroom at the site is not operational the Chamber plans to use porta‑potties. The mayor also reported election paperwork was completed and materials were sent to Lerblance for the Kerns lawsuit, and noted QuickBooks is operating.
