COMMITTEE
REPORTS:
Library: The Library Board submitted their FY2011
budget to the Council. Carol Ford explained the need to increase the
budget since they were $2,500 short in the salaries section for the
2010 budget and the only reason it wasn’t higher was due to
not having a director for part of the year. The Council said they
would keep that in mind when determining the new budget. |

| Public
Comments: RK Welander asked if everyone on the Council had
emails, Mayor Becker stated that not all Council members had email.
B Meyer said he wouldn’t mind having a city email so that he
could keep emails separate from his work or personal email. City Hall
is to see how many email addresses the City can have with Northwest
Communications. A resident asked what the right of way is in town
and the Council said that you would have to call the County recorder
to see what the street width is. B Meyer said he had a question from
a resident in town that since there is no more baseball in town, they
wanted to know if the field at the park could be turned into a softball
field so that they could hold tournaments in town. The Council didn’t
see any problems with that and B Meyer was going to look into it further
and report back to the Council next month. |
