Mayor Gladis spoke on a riser pipe issue that arose with the water tower project. The current riser pipe had to be plugged during construction. With this the flanges that are in the pipe are currently no longer effective. The City can’t turn water back on until this pipe is replaced. They discussed options and decided to table until next meeting. They asked the Finance officer to see if there are grants available to help pay for this damaged pipe. There will be more to come.

Finance Officer gave a report on the budget issues. She let the board know that there are issues and that we need to get these items resolved. She also let them know that the City is behind two annual audits and the current auditors are no longer taking municipalities. The finance officer let the board know that she is working on replacing them. The finance officer also told them that a CPA is needed to come in and fix the accounts. There is no one hired at this time but is being looked in to and will hopefully have something to share at the next meeting.
Chad gave the maintenance report. He said the sewer pond is full and has asked for an emergency discharge. For this samples of the pond have to be taken everyday.
