Change Order #4 was presented to council from Aztec requesting additional $5,549.58 due to a replacement of a contractor. After discussion Councilman Curtis made a motion to approve Change Order #4. Motion dies due to lack of a second.

Grease traps for current restaurants not being used correctly by the amount of grease in the new sewer lines. John Goin with Lidstone and Associates will check with owners about this matter.

Commission/Department Reports

Councilman Curtis reported on the weed control. Daniel Curtis has completed 14 of the 20 hours until next fall. He also reminded the Council that the EMT Directives were included in the Ambulance Service information and that they take a look at them.

Councilman Ragsdale has looked at the alley between Stephens and Stoetzel and he thinks that if it is looped around it should work. Also the curb and gutter at City Park could be redone leaving the diagonal sidewalk down the middle of the park alone. Consideration of tree safety is a main concern.

Councilman Fornstrom would like to see upkeep on the courts be done. The new Police Vehicle is in Cheyenne getting outfitted and should be completed in 3 – 4 days. The old cruiser will be available for use by the town. Councilman Ragsdale has bid back on a wall at the courts, maybe school will split cost with town.

Councilman Mohren reported that the refrigerator at the Daycare is not working properly and Julie will get it fixed.

County Commissioner Troy Thompson apologized for the miscommunication on the deadline for SLIB Money projects.
