Chief Krull, FVFD, informed Council that three City firefighters are assisting with wildfires in the western part of SD and that twelve more are working on wildland certification. Due to funds received from firefighting and calendar sales, he anticipates that the FVFD will be able to complete the necessary repairs needed on their brush truck, enabling the department to have two grass rigs.

The Mayor will also meet with Helms & Associates, City Administrator Whitman, and an interested party who has inquired about building a new hangar at the airport.

The City Administrator recently met with Clark Engineering and Akamu Barboza to begin working on the Phase One Water/Wastewater Project, including replacing the waterline to the Flandreau Indian School. The goal is to place a bid notice in the paper in the next few weeks as it is crucial to award the bid and begin work as soon as possible to avoid weather related issues late in the project.
