Regular City Council Meeting

December 5, 2011

The Forman City Council met at 5:00 PM. Present were Mayor Mark Bopp, council members, Dave Jacobson, Jason Rockswold and Sue Kleingarn, Mary Bishoff joined the meeting later. Also attending were Mary Ann Gadberry and Trish Pearson.

Matt Walsvik from Moore Engineering came to discuss the drain project and review the bills that have been presented. We received the 2^nd partial payment request from Ryan Contracting which included several change orders. The council questioned two of the change orders but approved the remainder of the bill. Matt will go back to Ryan and discuss the change orders for additional hauling of materials to the landfill. The work remaining that will be completed next spring is the installation of a gate valve, seeding and the asphalt patch. The drain is flowing as it should and the water level in the slough has dropped about three feet.

A motion was made to approve partial payment #2 less change orders #2 and #3 (Dave Jacobson, Jason Rockswold, passed).

A motion was made to approve the three Moore Engineering bills (Jason Rockswold, Sue Kleingarn, passed).

he auditor reviewed the progress on the cemetery project, the ordinance and land use review and small claims. Mary Bishoff stated that Trinity Lutheran Church would like to put white flags on the graves of those who were members of the church over memorial weekend this year and each year going forward. There were no objections.

We had the 2^nd reading of the revised city ordinances. A motion was made to adopt the ordinances as read. (Sue Kleingarn, Mary Bishoff, passed).

The community sign has been ordered. The hole was dug and is ready for the installation of the post, which will likely be next week. The actual sign will not be here until January. Jason reviewed the list of donors. We have all but a small portion of the cost of the sign covered by donations.

Holiday Magic will be held at City Hall on Sunday, December 11^th.

Work on the senior center is under way. Additional damage was discovered along the south wall and a claim was filed with insurance.

The recycling totes have been delivered and we are now working on getting totes to people who were missed and swapping the large totes for smaller ones where requested.

Rudy Rathert is working on some of the building inspections. He has some issues with a couple of the inspections requested but is proceeding with the remainder.

We are still unable to find a contractor to remove the dead trees even though it is now winter. Mark will continue to work on it.

The new membranes were installed at the water plant Thanksgiving week. They had to replace a fitting that broke and a seal that would not seal. Purified, but hard water was released into the system while they worked on the problems. We should be noticing very soft water by the end of this week.
