Resident praises speed enforcement; committees report on grants, seatbelt contacts, pool painting and sweeper claim
Summary
At public forum Rich Ahlberg commended recent police enforcement on G Avenue, reported on a building permit and noted potholes. Committee reports covered BIG grant reviews, FY2024 audit fieldwork, 27 seatbelt‑violation contacts in 2.5 hours, pool painting completion, and an approved 100 Women Who Care grant.
During the public forum at 6:39 p.m., visitor Rich Ahlberg praised the police: "the new police force is doing a super job along G Avenue with speeding vehicles," reported on the building permit at 203 4th Street, and pointed out potholes in need of repair.
Committee reports followed. The Finance Committee/Clerk reported on BIG grant applications, said the city auditor had completed fieldwork for the FY2024 audit, and noted Maggie Burger will present the next TIF report. The Public Safety Committee reported increased traffic due to County blacktop T37 closure, a joint enforcement action with GTSB that produced 27 contacts for seatbelt violations in 2.5 hours, loss of some speed‑camera programs following new state legislation, work on a state audit regarding computer access and MFA, and planned changes to the officers' phone data plan. The Public Works Committee reported the pool painting project is complete, a grant from 100 Women Who Care was approved, and continued work with an insurance company on the old street sweeper claim.
The meeting closed at 6:55 p.m.; the council set its next regular meeting for Oct. 21, 2024 at 6:30 p.m.
