New Business: Shane Waterman, with IMEG Engineering, gave an update on the Utility Improvement Project. Crews have been working on Park Avenue between Wind Street and Prairie Street and are concentrating on the water main side. Some of the city’s current valves are not working properly and staff is working to determine the best solution. It is possible that a sub-consultant could be used to provide a line-stop temporary valve, but costs will be gathered and presented to council prior to a decision being made on that. After crews are done on Park Ave, they will move to Wind Street. Waterman also told council that the contractor should not be working on Sundays and IMEG will monitor the situation to ensure they work on scheduled days only, unless the city approves otherwise. The next public meeting for utility project updates is June 11th at noon at the city office.

Discussion was had on the Ambulance Service and Mayor Sutton encouraged the council to vote to accept Moody County’s offer. Alderman Yeaton spoke in favor of taking over the ambulance, stating the city is capable of managing the service. Alderman Bjerke spoke against taking over ambulance operation due to the financial strain it would place on the city. Bjerke spoke in favor of developing an ambulance district where everyone who utilizes the service would pay, making it equal for everyone.
A motion was made by Yeaton and seconded by Ekern to accept the offer made by Moody County on January 9, 2025. A roll call vote was taken. The following members voted aye: Ahlers, Ekern, Fargen and Yeaton. Nays: Bjerke and Tufty. Absent: None. Motion carried.
