Council approves USDI utility contract after clarifications; vote 3–2
Summary
After attorney‑requested additions and discussion of emergency response and locates, La Cygne council approved a USDI utility contract; the motion passed 3–2 with Council Members Thies and Capp voting nay.
City Attorney Burton Harding and Public Works Superintendent Dan Nasalroad confirmed contract language had been revised to include items the attorney requested. Council members discussed expectations for USDI response times in emergency situations and asked for emergency contact numbers and an operations plan.
