Grace City Council Report 2/19

A regular meeting of the Grace City Council was held on February 19. This report is adapted from the minutes recorded by City Clerk Shelley Reeves. 

Bills in the amount of $144,967.57 and payroll in the amount of $13,596.34 were reviewed and
approved.

Mayor Barthlome turned the time to Reed Crandall with 3C Wireless.  Mr. Crandall inquired about the tower and small building located by the water tanks.  He would be interested in leasing the tower and the building located by the water tanks.  He would be interested in leasing the tower and the building to put a dish on in order to be able to expand his internet company in the Grace area.  Mayor Barthlome and Superintendent Crookston conducted some research and reported that as far as they could tell, the tower and the building seemed to be abandoned.  Superintendent Crookston will discuss this with Attorney Doug Wood to see whether it would be permissible to set up a lease with Mr. Crandall.

Changes to the zoning map were discussed.  Mayor Barthlome asked the city council members to study the map and be ready to make any suggestions that they feel need to be changed before the next meeting.

Councilmember Lowe moved to approve the transfer of $136,000 from the sewer fund to fund money market account to the checking to pay for the grit removal system.  Councilmember Tillotson seconded the motion, which was approved.

The Council read through Chapter 1 of Title 3 of the city code.  There were no changes that needed to be made.

Superintendent Crookston reported that there were a few frozen meters over the last couple of weeks that the city got fixed.  He reported that currently they were working on plowing the roads. 

Mayor Barthlome thanked all the city employees for their hard work and keeping everything running smoothly.
