City of Monona street repairs and sewer maintenance updates given Nolan Porter

OUTLOOK EDITOR Updates were given on the sewage improvements to the council on Monday. The current progress has come across some issues and has shown some areas that may cause problems. Three sewage lift stations need to be worked on and seven manholes that have bent tunnels have made work hard. However, there will be a reassessment mid-August. Five sewer risers have been deemed too small to allow 16-inch pipes to be placed on the inside. Work is excepted to be finished by October 2, 2016.

West Iowa Street and Franklin Street are planned to be chip sealed.

The city received two bids and settled on a bid for $29,828.82.

There is also a need for slurry patches on streets throughout the town. The cost of the slurry patches will be $2649.

Police Chief Jo Amsden gave a report that mainly dealt with increased animal calls. Amsden and the council discussed buying a solar powered radar speed monitoring sign. The sign would display the current speed of drivers and that will, hopefully, reduce speeding.

The solar powered sign would cost $2500.

The council debated on whether to vacate or keep leasing the property located West of Howard Street Intersection. If the city were to decide to vacate the street, then

it would lose the option to turn that into a street that could be used in the future. The current plan is to install solar panels for private use, however if the city decides to use the land, then the panels would have to be moved.

The Monona Chamber and Economic Development report was given to the council. Some of the points brought up were the Internet traffic to the chamber’s website.

At this point in time, the website averages 350 unique users a week.

The use of social platforms, such as Facebook was also stressed. It was shown that Facebook had 737 likes.

Hay Days was discussed and praised for the growth. According to the chamber, estimates state that $1600 was given in donations and $1400 was spent on marketing. The extra $200 will be carried over to be used in next years Days. The chamber also stated they are willing to help with the proposed hotel study.

The City of Monona will receive a Governor’s Iowa Environmental Excellence Award in the Environmental Excellence Overall Category. The award will be given Tuesday, August 2, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. at the Iowa State Capitol.

According to May 2016 data, Monona is the only town in Clayton County to have a population increase since 1980. Monona has had a 1% population increase since 1980, according to the Clayton County Housing Needs Assessment.

Family Dentistry looks forward to new facility The Family Dental Associates of Monona gathered at the new location of the planned office for a pregroundbreaking ceremony, Monday, July 8, 2016. The Monona, Waukon and Prairie du Chien dental offices were all represented at the event along with members of the Monona community. The official groundbreaking will take place on August 1 and is planned to be finished March 1, if everything adheres to schedule.

Commercial Vehicle Group announces facility closures in connection with restructuring plan Commercial Vehicle Group Inc., a leading supplier of fully integrated system solutions for the global commercial vehicle market, announced this week the closure of three North American facilities in connection with the cost reduction and restructuring plan previously announced on November 19, 2015.

At the time, the Company estimated pre-tax costs of $12 to $19 million, which is now lowered to $10 to $14 million.

When fully implemented by the end 2017, the cost reduction and restructuring plan previously announced on November 19, 2015 is expected to lower annualized operating costs by $8 to $12 million.

The affected facilities include plants located in Monona, Iowa; and Shadyside, Ohio; along with administrative offices in Wixom, Michigan.

The Monona facility manufactures wire harnesses and has approximately 146 employees.

The work performed at the Monona facility will be transferred to the Company’s operations in Agua Prieta, Mexico.

A small group of administrative and sales professionals will remain in the Iowa market following the closure of the Monona facility which is expected to be substantially completed by March 31, 2017.

The Shadyside facility performs assembly and stamping activities and has approximately 172 employees.

The activities performed at the Shadyside facility will be transferred to alternative facilities or sourced to local suppliers. The closure of the Shadyside facility is expected to be substantially completed by June 30, 2017.

The Company will also close its administrative office in Wixom, Michigan, when the lease expires in the third quarter of this year, as an outcome of its ongoing efforts to

consolidate engineering services.

The Company plans to petition for assistance for eligible employees under the Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Program (TAA).

“Decisions regarding facility closures are extremely difficult but ultimately this restructuring plan

reflects our ongoing efforts to align our manufacturing footprint with our customers and supply base in response to changing global macroeconomic conditions and the state of our end markets,” said Joseph Saoud, President of Global Construction, Agriculture, & Military Markets. “Our employees are important to us and we will provide support for impacted personnel, however we must strategically manage our overhead and competitive cost position in response to market conditions and customer expectations.”

Dale McKillop, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Trim & Structures said, “We understand the impact this decision will have on our employees and the communities of Monona and Shadyside where we have served as a long time employer. Ultimately, we made the best decision we could to maximize our global capacity utilization in response to changing customer needs.”

“We will provide assistance to our employees, including severance benefits, and hope that many of them will consider opportunities with CVG in other markets,” added McKillop.

Views from the Garden Outlook Editor At the age of 97, Florence P. Bruns has worked hard all her life, but not for pay. “I had jobs galore but none that were paid for,� Florence said.

For most of her life, Florence had been a dedicated and active supporter with local organizations.

She helped out with many school activities when her two boys, Brent and Gary, were attending. She was a Sunday school teacher at the Lutheran church in Monona, a choir member for 70 years and the president of the American Lutheran Church Woman in Decorah that included 52 parishes. The list goes on and on. “It sounds too braggy,� Florence said with a shy smile.

Florence was born in 1919 and has only lived in four different houses in her entire life. A farm girl her entire life, she went to school in Luana and to church in Monona.

She had lived on a farm that has been in the Bruns family for over

100 years.

In 1936 she graduated high school and went to college in Cedar Falls for a semester. She came back and married in 1937. Florence and her husband worked on their farm for many years until 1956 when they got into the insurance business.

The Bruns’ farmed and sold insurance. In 1964, her son Brent bought the farm from Florence and her husband so they started to focus on selling insurance.

After buying out five other insurance companies, the Bruns had a viable insurance business.

The company was named Bruns and James Insurance, which is still owned by Brent Bruns today.

In her later years of life, Florence was on the building committee for Garden View, where she has resided since 2008. She did not slow down and enjoy the retirement lifestyle, however.

Ever since sixth grade, Florence has been very interested in genealogy. “I just liked to know where my grandparents were,� Florence said.

“And where they came from.�

Florence has over 40 books that include eight families, four for her grandparents and four for her husband’s, which have traced that lineage back to 1600. She has been taking her books down to the Elkader Historical Society and adding them to the genealogy library.

Other than her genealogy activities, Florence enjoys quilting for her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She has five grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Each one got at least one quilt, some have more than one. “They were works of love,�

Florence said.

Her grandchildren are located throughout the Midwest and Texas.

Florence P Bruns has lived close to a century in age and has done more charity work than some have done in two lifetimes. Her activeness in her church and in the community has kept her going all these years.

Recently completed baseball season full of learning experiences for the young Bulldog team Chad drahn

Outlook sports The 2016 Bulldog Baseball season was full of learning experiences and teachable moments.

The team finished the season with a 5-23 record. At the beginning of the season, the coaching staff was excited to work with this group of kids but didn’t really know exactly what they had in the team.

Coach Burke said, “We were quick to find that this team was full of young talent and potential but lacked experience.� As the summer progressed, this collection of inexperienced but talented players experienced their fair share of heart-breaking losses and hard fought wins. In most games, the Bulldogs started seven freshman and eighth graders, and even started up to eight freshman and eighth graders on some nights.

The coach added, “During the

middle of the season, the Bulldogs turned a corner and started making veteran plays for the most of game.

The team would constantly put together four or five innings of great

baseball and but couldn’t quite get over the hump. On numerous occasions, a 4-3 ball game became

an 8-3 ball game in favor of the other team.�

These small steps in the right direction were especially present in a 4-3 loss to Edgewood-Colesburg, a team that would make the state tournament. The Bulldogs had a 3-1 lead heading into the bottom of the 7th and couldn’t quite close the deal.

A few weeks later, the Bulldogs faced the fourth ranked North Linn Lynx and, although the score ended 14-4, the Bulldogs were up 4-3 heading into the bottom of the fourth and couldn’t quite land the knockout punch.

Burke explained, “These two games showed that when the young Bulldogs played their best baseball, they could play with any team in the state.

In the coming seasons, these young players will become experienced veterans and they will be expecting to win games against tough teams like this year’s Ed-Co and North Linn teams.�

Item of the Week Folding Organ

Nolan Porter

outlook editor Most organs are thought of as large, massive instruments that are too big for use outside of a church. However, in 1885, Peter Philip Bilhorn invited the folding organ and changed how preachers gave sermons.

Bilhorn wrote thousands of songs for the church and was invited to conduct a choir at Buckingham Palace. Bilhorn was used to travelling but that led to a slight problem. Bilhorn was a circuit preacher, which meant he traveled in communities were preachers were hard to find. In 1885, he invented the folding organ. Weighing 70 pounds, the organ could be folded up and put on the back of a horse. It was portable and a far cry from the classic church organ.

Organs, until the Bilhorn folding organ, had been around for thousands of years. The first ever organ was invited in ancient Greece. That one was powered by water. In the early 100’s, keys were added to the organ so that more control could be given to the player. As technology advanced with modern materials, different models were invented.

There was a small, handheld one called the portative organ.

It was played with one hand and air was pumped with the other.

It had more of a flute or piccolo sound and did not have the same sound as a classic organ. As time went on and travelling preachers become the only way towns could get sermons, a need for an organ was needed. Organs were a staple of church sermons.

Pipe organs were the first of the “church� organs, being as they would not over power singers and would help improve the sound.

The problem with pipe organs is the size. Established churches had reed or pipe organs. Even though those organs were much

more advanced from the early water powered organ, the amount of metal and wood made them too large to be moved and were normally kept to just one church. There was a need for some musical instrument that would appease the church masses.

It is not clear how Bilhorn invited the folding organ, being as he had no mechanical background. Nonetheless, he was able to compress a reed organ to a “portable� size of 70 pounds.

Bilhorn had been on frontier towns so he knew the need for such an instrument. Once Bilhorn invited the folding organ, he moved to Chicago with his brother and opened up a business making portable organs. Elizabeth Figgie, who was well known for travelling in the Ozarks and in the South before returning home after her mother died, owned this organ pictured here.

The success of the folding organ was huge. Not only could hymnals

The Bilhorn organs were even making their way in to department stores like Sears and Roebuck. In 1916, there 21 different models to choose from, including a tropical version that was meant to withstand the humid temperatures of Central and South America.

The Bilhorn Brothers Compnay faded from history in 1941 and there is little to no information after that year.

Peter Philip Bilhorn was a visionary and changed the way music was brought to people that had none. He was a famous writer and singer that decided to invent and produce instruments that would benefit thousands of people for many years.

A rare find in today’s society

Letters To The Editor The Study Committee's Draft Report was presented for comments at a Public Hearing on July 7th. Restriction supporters came prepared with well thoughtout, written speeches containing specific comments about the Report, whereas the 20 or so Pattison employees and the other pro-Pattison speakers did not come prepared. I commend the Study Committee for the time they have invested in drafting guidelines for restrictions on a rezoning proposal to expand frac sand mining along the Great River Road very close to my home. I appreciated the chance to voice specific suggestions to make several restrictions clearer and stronger. Three of the restrictions concern water issues. These include well damage, testing of private wells and testing of surface water for acrylamide. My husband and I

and many of our neighbors are very concerned about potential problems with our water supply and feel that the county needs to require very strict restrictions to protect our wells and water supply.

Another restriction involves air quality, specifically vent shaft setback, monitoring, and porthole closure. Pattison Sand personnel like to refer to Professor OShaunessy's statement that frac sand mining poses "low risk" for silica exposure. They do not mention that he also said that he would consider 1/4 mile setback to be a safe distance and 1/2 mile to be a very protective distance. Those of us who would be affected by this silica exposure urge the county to provide a very protective distance.

The total acreage that Pattison Sand has already mined or wishes to mine silica sand in Clayton

county(all in my neighborhood) totals 2814 acres. I find it hard to believe that there have been no restrictions placed on this operation to date. It has been argued that it wouldn't be fair to put restictions on Pattison Sand and not on other gravel quarries. It seems that there is a need for clear definitions of terms. Our neighbors in Allamakee and Winneshiek counties clearly defined the difference between gravel quarries and frac sand mines in the ordinances that they recently put in place. I strongly urge county officials to update our Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinances before granting any further frac sand mining permits.

Several recent letters to the editor have offered support for the rezoning of 746 additional acres from Agricultural (A-1) to Heavy Industrial (M-2) for mining between Mississippi Road and the Mississippi River near Clayton between Garnavillo and Guttenberg. These supporters provided legitimate rationales for approval but fail to take into account other county stakeholders in the large mining operation that has evolved in Clayton County over the last ten years.

Say No For Now (SNFN) a group of concerned county citizens has taken a position that the Board of Supervisors should address several critical issues that have become evident in the last ten years before additional acreage is rezoned that even mine spokesman have stated may not be needed for decades. SNFN is confident that county officials will not rush to approve this request and will recognize their duty to judiciously review ten years of mining practices and county policies that have not included the interests of all Clayton County residents and taxpayers.

Employees are certainly stakeholders and SNFN recognizes the personal income growth and economic contribution that mining can bring to the county.

Employees work in a difficult and even dangerous environment and should be congratulated on their willingness to do so. The rezoning of 746 acres for future use (10, 20, 30 years?) should have no impact on near or mid-term employment levels. Certainly industry fluctuations in the price of sand as evidenced by current lay-offs will play a much larger role

in employment opportunities than a timely review of past and current county practices prior to approval.

Likewise, property owners have a perfectly legitimate right to petition for rezoning of their properties but should understand that neighboring residents and communities also have rights that have mostly been given short shrift over the last ten years.

SNFN supports landowner’s rights as well as the rights of all other stakeholders to be considered in this process.

The past rezoning of almost 3000 acres to Heavy Industrial was done without restrictions by Clayton County and few if any studies that quantify benefits to the county. The ‘jobs’ argument should be validated by analysis of where miners live and where they spend their income. Cost-benefit analysis should also address county subsidies to the current operation in the form of Tax Increment Financing (TIF), road costs, etc.

These considerations should be factored into any decisions by county officials rather than simply acting as a ‘rubber stamp’ approval for current or future mining owner’s financial interests.

Clayton County has ten years of very mixed experiences with current ownership’s mining and non-mining practices. The communities and residents (and not just a few as some of alleged) of McGregor, Guttenberg, Clayton and Garnavillo live daily with the underground mining, open pit operations and the logistics of transportation associated with current mining practices. Future residents and visitors will see the results of current activities for

hundreds of years to come.

The zoning restrictions being proposed by the Study Group should be included in any future approval of this zoning request.

SNFN simply asks that the BOS vote ‘no’ to the request until AFTER a thorough but timely review of the outdated county comprehensive land use plan, zoning regulations and perhaps most importantly the enforcement of current regulations is completed.

The county has already initiated this review and it should be allowed to be completed before rezoning is approved. Sand that has been underground for millions of years will still be there in 2017 when the review process is completed and a decision can be made that balances ALL county stakeholder’s interests.

A petition to the Board of Supervisors already signed by hundreds of Clayton County residents or taxpayers states: ‘ A broader more thorough review of how mining practices , zoning regulations, and the enforcement of those regulations align with the current county comprehensive plan is necessary BEFORE additional land is rezoned for Heavy Industrial use. We urge Clayton County officials to immediately begin the comprehensive plan update processes so these important questions around new zoning for mine expansion can be answered with the future in mind’. If you are willing to sign this petition please send an email to saynofornow@ gmail.com.

Caught you looking!

Advertising is well read. Even a 1x1.

I have been living in Monona going on two months now and I have to admit that it is one of the nicest communities that I had ever been in.

In my hometown, Keokuk, it is small but not nearly as small as Monona. Keokuk is a town that is filled with people that do not care about the community. There are people that do a lot of things for the community and are genuinely altruistic. But there are some who do not care about you and only care about themselves. They have this air of superiority in a town of less than 9000. Not everyone is like that, but there are enough to take notice of.

A lot of good people would help a stranger, but not nearly as much as the people in Monona.

When I first moved in, I got stared at a lot. I stuck out like a sore thumb, but everyone was still incredibly nice. Eventually, people started to see me and even tell me that they knew whom I was. That sort welcome would be almost unheard of in Keokuk. People in Keokuk might know who you are, but they would not be so open and friendly about it. It does depend on neighbors, of course, but here everyone acts like your neighbor.

For me, Monona is like a step back in time. It seems like a time where things were simple and no one had to worry about roaming bands of thieves or even teens that want to take cars for joy rides (there have been a few over the years in Keokuk). And I know that no town is perfect. Monona has had its own crime from time to time, but it seems less likely to happen. The size of the town obviously means less crime, but it still seems like the populace would not commit the crimes anyway. Everyone seems to

respect one another and wants what is best for the town, in that regard.

One of my favorite things about Monona is that everyone waves. I get a lot of enjoyment waving to every car that passes me and they wave back. It is that kind of friendliness that sets this town apart from the others. It is a small thing, but it really gives me a sense of community.

Of course there is the subject of everyone knowing what everyone else is doing. That can get a bit annoying, being as some things are wanted to keep quiet or private. In a town like this, rumors spread like fire. So there is a need to respect a neighbor’s privacy.

In the end, I really have come to love Monona. It is quiet, which I enjoy a lot. There is no fear of some thief trying to break into my apartment while I am at work. I can take my walks at anytime of the day and not worry about getting attacked or harassed. A large city has more things to do, but you give up the peace that Smalltown, USA has to offer. It comes down to preference and I prefer Monona.

Medicare questions answered

by SHIIP volunteers at VMH Are mammograms covered by Medicare Part B? What coverage can I get with Medicare supplement insurance?

Do long-term care policies cover people with Alzheimer’s disease? Does every Medicare beneficiary have to make a decision about Medicare Part D? Answers to these questions can be found by meeting with the Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) volunteers at Veterans Memorial Hospital. Russ Hagen of Waterville and Stan and Mary Straate of Postville are trained volunteers, and are available by appointment to meet with any

person or family with Medicare questions and concerns. Anyone wishing to schedule an appointment should call Veterans Memorial Hospital at 568-3411.

SHIIP, the Senior Health Insurance Information Program, was created in 1990 in response to the statewide need for senior health insurance information.

SHIIP provides free informational materials as well as one-to-one assistance with Medicare Coverage, Medicare supplement insurance, long-term care insurance, Medicare and insurance claims and other related issues. SHIIP does not recommend insurance companies, plans or agents; the volunteers answer questions and provide impartial information to help seniors make well-informed decisions.

Legal Notice July 6, 2016 Meeting of the Clayton County Board of Supervisors at their office, 600 Gunder Road, Elkader, Iowa Present: Gary Bowden, Larry Gibbs and Ron McCartney. Guests: Bill Armstrong, John Everly (The Pinnacle Group), Rafe Koopman, Eric Meyer, Myron Phelps.

Bowden moved to approve the minutes from the June 27 and June 29, 2016, meetings. Gibbs seconded. Ayes: Bowden, Gibbs, McCartney.

Gibbs moved to approve the claims as presented. Bowden seconded. Ayes: Bowden, Gibbs, McCartney.

The Board considered a request by County Sheriff Mike Tschirgi to have the custodial duties of the law enforcement center performed by Myron and Kris Phelps, as current custodian, Royce Hansel has tendered his resignation effective July 15, 2016. Bowden moved to expand the duties of Myron and Kris Phelps to include the law enforcement center effective July 11, 2016, to allow for sharing of information between Hansel and the Phelpses. Gibbs seconded. Ayes: Bowden, Gibbs, McCartney. The number of hours the Phelpses work will be increased from 37.5 to 40 per week to accommodate the new duties and the increased hours will be expensed out to the Sheriff’s Department.

County Attorney Alan Heavens informed the Board of a law change that makes 28E Agreements between counties relative to delinquent court debt collections unnecessary.

Clayton County currently has such an agreement in place with Allamakee and Winneshiek Counties. Gibbs moved to approve Resolution #30-2016 to terminate the 28E agreement with Allamakee & Winneshiek Counties regarding delinquent court debt collections. Bowden seconded. Ayes: Bowden, Gibbs, McCartney.

RESOLUTION #30-2016 RESOLUTION TO TERMINATE 28E AGREEMENT WITH ALLAMAKEE COUNTY AND WINNESHIEK COUNTY REGARDING DELINQUENT COURT DEBT COLLECTIONS WHEREAS, Allamakee County, Clayton County and Winneshiek County have elected to participate in the collection of delinquent court obligations on the county level and have entered into a 28E Agreement for that purpose; and, WHEREAS, the Allamakee County Attorney, Clayton County Attorney, and Winneshiek County Attorney have reviewed Senate File 2316 and have determined that there is no longer a benefit to continue collections pursuant to said 28E Agreement; and, WHEREAS, the Allamakee County Attorney, Clayton County Attorney, and Winneshiek County Attorney have recommended to their respective Board of Supervisors to dissolve the 28E Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CLAYTON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AS FOLLOWS: 1. That as a result of the passage of Senate File 2316 the undersigned do hereby terminate the 28E Agreement Document Number M506341 filed with the Iowa Secretary of State on July 26, 2013, as amended by Document Number M508205 filed with the Iowa Secretary of State on June 23, 2015.

McCartney opened a public hearing on a construction permit for a swine finisher/confinement building by Eric and Tina Meyer in Section 23, Grand Meadow Township. There were no comments received either for or against the project and no one in attendance at the Board meeting voiced comments either way. County Zoning Administrator Janet Ott had reviewed the application at the request of the Board of Supervisors and found an ownership question that is being dealt with by Meyer and the DNR. She also stated that a new manure management plan should be filed in conjunction with the ownership clarification. The application still scored enough points to pass the Master Matrix requirement. The public hearing was closed.

Gibbs moved to approve the Master Matrix scoring and Construction Permit Application for Eric & Tina Meyer. Bowden seconded. Ayes: Bowden, Gibbs, McCartney.

City of Monona Regular Council Meeting Monday, July 18, 2016

The Monona, Iowa, City Council met in regular session Monday, July 18, 2016 at 6:00 P.M. at City Hall. Mayor Barbara Collins presided with Randee Koenig, Dan Havlicek, Andrew Meyer, John Elledge and Doug Bachman present.

Guests Present: Marc Ruden, IIW., Jerry Neuhaus, Deb Neuhaus, Bob Penrod (PeopleService), Randy Evanson (Public Works), Randy Kramer (Prairie Road Builders), Rogeta Halvorson (MCED), Jo Amsden (Police Chief), Audrey Posten (North Iowa Times) and Nolan Porter (The Outlook).

1) Approve Consent Agenda: Moved by Havlicek, seconded Blietz, to approve consent agenda as listed. Carried Unanimously.

Meeting Agenda: Council Minutes – July 11th; Treasurer/ Budgetary Reports – June; Library Report – June; Garden View Report June; Little Bulldog Childcare Report – June; Utility Billing Reconciliation – June/July.

2) Hearing of Delegations: None 3) Status of Phase II Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project: IIW, Inc. Engineer Marc Ruden was present to provide an update on Phase II Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project; including Contract A and Contract B. Lift station upgrade work under Contract B is being done by Portzen Construction. Ruden explained recent power outage at Southeast Lift Station as a result of a bad pole breaker.

He stated that installation of new standby-generator would be initiated beginning of August according to Portzen so that related electrical work could be completed promptly.

Under Contract A, Municipal Pipe Tool (MPT) is currently televising and cleaning sewers and manhole structures. Preliminary results of that work indicate additional upgrades and spot repairs that might be needed. Various manhole structures and sewer piping need further investigation.

Ruden said he would like to meet with city project committee to discuss and determine extent of repairs at various sewer manhole structures within the project area. It was agreed to meet in committee at city hall Friday, July 22nd at 10:30 A.M. to consider the matter.

4) Discuss Street Vacation Request: At April 18, 2016 regular council meeting Jerry and Debra Neuhaus inquired as to whether the city would consider vacating a portion of Center Street west of the Monroe Street intersection. It was again explained that a portion of West Center borders the north boundary of the Neuhaus property although the street Rightof-Way (ROW) is not paved. The ROW area is adjacent to Neuhaus real estate parcels #361461026 and #3611461035 as identified on Clayton County Beacon. It is currently planted to grass and has a line of evergreen trees on north side of ROW. Land north of the street ROW is currently undeveloped and owned by others. Mr. Neuhaus indicated he would like to install solar panels in the ROW so that existing 40’ trees on south side of their property could be left intact to allow for optimal angle for sunlight to reach solar array. He stated that without the street vacation, solar energy is something they wouldn’t be able to effectively pursue.

It was mentioned that Mayor Collins, ad-

ministrator Canton and Mr. Neuhaus attended a Monona planning and growth study committee meeting July 11th that included discussion about the northwest portion of Monona and whether that area might ever be considered for residential development in the future. At that meeting, it was the opinion of McClure engineer Kevin Bailey that the city delay any action on a street vacation until such time that a clear development strategy for that area has been determined.

Administrator Canton reminded council that a street vacation request would need to go before the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) prior to city council taking action on the matter. Separate public hearings would also need to be conducted by P&Z and council prior to a final council decision.

At conclusion of discussion, it was consensus of council that a ROW lease agreement similar to what D&J Feeds has with the city for part use of Monroe Street could be arranged, however, they would not be receptive to vacating a portion of West Center at this juncture. Neuhaus thanked council for their consideration and would take time to consider the matter.

5) PeopleService Report: PeopleService operator Robert Penrod provided written Operations and Maintenance (O&M) reports for water and wastewater departments for month of June. O&M activities were identified as follows: Water O&M: Received safe bacteria report for June; Attended safety training June 14-16th in Northwood; Flushed water hydrants; Vacation June 20-24th; Performed routine monthly duties.

Wastewater O&M: Portzen installed new pumps, guide rails in Wire Factory Lift Station.

New check valves and valves installed in dry well; M’s Machine unloaded new control panel for Wire Factory Lift Station; Pioneer Critical Power performed inspection and load test on WWTP standby generator; Eastern Iowa Excavating struck Northeast lift station force main.

Iowa DNR inspected repair. Proper reports and related samples were filed and submitted; Municipal Pipe Tool (MPT) cleaned WWTP lift station; MPT cleaned northeast and southeast Lift Stations per contract; Ordered new tension spring for aeration blower; Mowed grass at WWTP; Fiscal year end chemical and maintenance expenses were noted in the report as part of PeopleService Operations Contract.

Chemical budget had an expense overage of $5,497 with maintenance costs under budget by $1,214.

6) Consider Street Maintenance and Repair Work: City public works supervisor Randy Evanson distributed street maps and cost estimates for proposed chip seal work and street patching. Blacktop Service Co. and Prairie Road builders submitted proposals for chip sealing with Kluesner Construction providing a price for Slurry Patching as identified on site maps.

Moved by Koenig, seconded by Bachman, to accept price quote from Prairie Road Builders in amount of $29,828.82 for chip seal work. Carried Unanimously. Moved by Meyer, seconded by Elledge, to approve quote from Kluesner Construction for Slurry Patching in amount of $2,649.00. Carried Unanimously.

7) Police Report: Chief Jo Amsden

Membership drive, website marketing, Facebook social marketing, community advocacy, tourism, business development, economic development and community visioning program were topics of discussion. Halvorson also talked about successful 2016 Monona Hay Days event.

9) Approve Pay Request No.4 to Eastern Iowa Excavating for Phase II Sewer Improvements Upon recommendation of Marc Ruden of IIW, Inc., it was moved by Meyer, seconded

by Elledge, to approve pay request No.4 from Eastern Iowa Excavating in amount of $56,398.74 for construction improvements related to Phase II Sanitary Sewer Project.

Carried Unanimously.

Upgrade of previous plan needed to be accomplished by August so that Monona would be eligible for FEMA funding in event of a local disaster.

Moved by Blietz, seconded by Havlicek, to Adopt Resolution No. 2016-21 Adopting 2016 Clayton County, Iowa Multi-Jurisdictional MultiHazard Mitigation Plan (CCHMP).

14) Athletic Booster Club Membership Drive: Letter of request was received from MFL MarMac Athletic Booster Club regarding 20162017 Membership Drive, no action taken.

15) Consider Demolition of City-Owned Commercial Building: At previous council meeting it was decided to solicit proposals for razing the dilapidated commercial building (former Interstate Power Co.) at 201 North Page Street. Administrator suggested that before obtaining demolition price quotes council should consider the following: a) immediately upon removal of dilapidated building, east facing wall of adjacent city building would probably need to be sided as outer wall structure would be exposed to the weather. Exterior metal siding currently attached to the former Interstate Power (ISP) building matches the adjacent building and might be suitable for siding. b) Consider attaching another storage structure to east facing side wall while still exposed. c) Since west rear wall of ISP building is brick, that wall might be left intact and not disturbed during demolition. d) Should empty lot space be seeded to grass, graveled or left as is after the building is removed.

Suggestion was made to consider building proposed police garage at 201 North Page instead of directly behind police office at city hall where spaced is limited. It was noted that footprint of former Interstate Power Co. building is 58’x43’ and would allow for more space than what current police department has.

Administrator stated that Iowa DNR Brownfields Program might be a possibility for funding a reuse/repurpose project whereby a dilapidated building is demolished and a new qualifying structure is built in its place. Additional information would be garnered before any action is taken.

Mayor/Council/Clerk Notes: Motel/Hotel Feasibility Study would be considered again at subsequent meetings; Closing date for sale of Monona Commercial Park Lot to Monona Family Dentistry would be held Wednesday, July 20th at 1:00 P.M. in Schiller Law Office; Elledge indicated he would be unable to attend August 1st & 15th council meetings There being no further business, Mayor Collins declared meeting adjourned at 8:09 P.M. Next regular meeting would be held Monday, August 1, 2016 at 6:00 P.M. at city hall.

Ruff to hold Medicaid privatization listening post in Waukon State Representative Patti Ruff of McGregor has organized a listening post for Iowans and health care providers who have concerns about Medicaid privatization. The listening post will be held at 10am, on Wednesday, August 3rd at Waukonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robey Memorial Library Community Room, 401 1st Ave NW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard from several Iowa families and health care providers who have issues with Medicaid privatization,â&#x20AC;? said Ruff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal to gather more information from local citizens and provide more information and answers to those who are affected.â&#x20AC;?

Rep. Ruff will be joined by State Senator Joe Bolkcom of Iowa City, who is Vice Chair of the Senate Human Resources Committee. In addition to lawmakers, representatives from the Iowa Department of Human Services and the three managed care organizations have been invited to participate in the event.

Recently, Iowa care providers reported that they are struggling to be paid by the for-profit corporations who have taken over the administration of health care services to more than a half million Iowans on Medicaid.* Governor Branstad moved to privatize Medicaid in April. Iowa Medicaid is a joint state and federal program and is a health care safety net for Iowa families dealing with severe accidents, long-term illnesses and disabilities. Roughly 70 percent of Medicaid funds are used to care for Iowans living with disabilities and the elderly.

During the 2016 legislative session, Representative Ruff worked with other lawmakers to pass bipartisan, comprehensive Medicaid oversight and protections.

Friends may call one hour before services Saturday at the church. Martin Funeral Home in Waukon is handling arrangements.

Martina Eleanor Broderick Schlein Fritz was born to Martin and Eleanor (Aird) Broderick on May 6, 1922, in Evansville, WI. At an early age, her family moved back to Iowa. Her early education was acquired at various country schools. Martina attended Waukon High School, graduating in 1939 with a normal training teaching certificate. Being only 17 years of age, she attended one year of junior college in Waukon. Martina was always so proud of the fact that her dad owned and drove the first school bus Waukon had. In 1940, Martina accepted a position to teach in a school north of Watson, IA, known as the Figgee School.

Here she met and married Bill Schlein on November 1, 1941. To this union five children were born: Janice, Judy, Jackie, David, and Donna. Jackie was killed in a farm accident on July 5, 1963. Martina attended the Monona Methodist Church in Monona, IA, for 55 years. On December 30, 1995, she married Willard Fritz and moved to Waukon. Willard died in 2005.

Martina stayed in Waukon another year. In 2006, she moved in with her son in the country near Monona.

Leaving to mourn are her son David Schlein and three daughters: Janice (Lawrence) Lotza, Judy (Roger) Radloff, and Donna (Paul) Erickson and their families; nine grandchildren; 11 greatgrandchildren; and three greatgreat-grandchildren. Her parents; her brother Bob; son Jackie; both husbands; and a grandson Ryan preceded her in death.

Casketbearers are Howard Van Ruler, David Hahn, Kyle Schlein, Dick Moses, Jamie Bodley, Dwayne Dennler, Paul Radloff, and Brant Schoulte.

North Clayton Shooting Team performs well at inaugural event Seven students represented the newly formed North Clayton Shooting Team at the Iowa State Trapshooting Meet held on June 10 and 11. Participants attempted to shoot 200 targets with one round of trap consisting of 25 clay targets.

Each day an hour was given to shoot at 100 targets.

This year’s members of the trapshooting team included: Amber Adney, Tessa Detra, Keaton Dettman, Samson Elledge, Taylor Gerndt, Shane Hexom, Nolin Lang, Derek Larson, Alex McNally, Caleb Overton, Dillon Pitzner, Austin Ruff, Brandi Schneider, and Avery Smith.

Due to the generosity of Allamakee Sportsman Club in Waukon, Iowa, and individual donors, the team was able to operate as a completely self-funded organization. The Allamakee Sportsman Club allowed the team to use their facilities for practice, with the only stipulations being that the team be responsible for supplying the clay targets, picking up empty hulls and clay targets and disposing

Continued from page 2 The Bulldogs will lose three seniors, Tyler Tayek, Rob Reichard and Bryce Burke. The leadership skills and attitudes of Tayek and Reichard will be sorely missed.

Burke was the only senior who played before this season and was a four year starter. His hitting and pitching skills will be sorely missed next season. Bryce finished the season with a batting average of .500, which is believed to be the highest batting average in school history.

Moving forward, the Bulldogs will return eight starters next season. The team looks primed for a huge improvement in the winloss department and excepts to be a much more confident in themselves.

In the pitching department the Bulldogs will return top pitchers including Michael Egan, Cedrick Drahn, JP Murphy, Kaleb Tilson and JT Stocker.

At the plate, the Bulldogs will return the top hitters including Garret Keehner, Nathan Johanningmeier, Korby Keehner, Peyton Meisner and JP Murphy.

Burke concluded by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season, the Bulldog baseball team experienced a positive culture shock. The team had the highest participation in years, and guys made massive strides during the season in terms of baseball knowledge and skills. The future of the program is very bright and the coaching staff is already looking forward to beginning off-season training over Christmas break.â&#x20AC;?
