Teddy Roosevelt

Thank You

Little did we know the sorrow the day would bring.

The call was peaceful and silent, the shock severe, to part with the one we held so dear. She was gone before we knew it and only God knows why. He gave us strength and courage to bear the parting blow. But what it meant to give her up only He can know. Others have sorrow, this we know, but she was ours and we miss her so.

The Family of Viola Ross express their deepest Thanks & Sincere Appreciation for the expressions of sympathy & comforting words, cards, deeds, & prayers given at the time of our great loss.

Thank You

The Ahlers family would like to extend a sincere Thank You upon the loss of our Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother. The gifts of food, flowers, thoughts and prayers were greatly appreciated! A special Thank You to Mike, Jackie, Dan, and Gabby for their excellent care!

Also a special Thank You to all the staff at the Flandreau Hospital and clinic. She was comforted being cared for by people she knew.

Visitors to be Heard: Tammie Hammer, Kim Hansen, and Sharon Wilts-Dailey, on behalf of the Christmas Events Committee, addressed Council regarding the Christmas decorations and lights in the downtown park next to First National Bank. The existing decorations are quite old and are in need of replacement; many no longer work. Funds were spent by the Christmas Committee to replace or enhance the decorations. A request was made of the City Council to fund new decorations and lights for next year, as well as install an additional outlet at the back of the park near the bank or fence. The Committee was asked to provide a list of the request items for consideration. Alderman Fargen thanked the Committee for all their hard work.

Mayor Sutton thanked all involved in the recent Christmas festivities and downtown parade: Alderman Pesall for announcing, and all the businesses and volunteers that made the event so successful. The City Administrator interviews went well last week; he thanked City Administrator Pederson for all the work he put into making the interviews a thorough and successful process.

City Administrator Pederson had no report.

Motion by Pesall and seconded by Ekern to approve the Administrative Reports. The following members voted aye: Bjerke, Ekern, Fargen, Pesall, and Tufty. Nays: None. Absent: None.

Motion carried.

City Administrator Pederson reported that two responses were received to the City’s RFP solicitation for residential solid waste and recycling collection services. The proposal from Eng Services was found to be in order, and contained a price for weekly solid waste collection to be $15.20 per month, and a price for bi-weekly recyclables collection to be $0. The proposal of Van Dyke Sanitation, upon review by the City Administrator and City Attorney, was deemed to be invalid due to insufficient bid bond and lack of compliance with pricing for specified services. Pederson stated that he would prepare the Services Agreement for Council action on December 20.

Shane Waterman, IMEG Consulting Engineer, presented an overview of the condition of the water distribution and wastewater collection systems. Waterman updated the Council on improvements to the systems since they were evaluated in July of 2013 when combined recommended improvements were projected to cost $23,480,000. The opportunity to pursue grant funding through the Governor’s ARPA funding and possibly the Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was discussed, with the necessity of identifying project(s) to submit to the State Water Plan in February. Waterman was asked to prepare a scope of services for his assistance in identifying project(s) for submission to the State.

The City Administrator and City Finance Officer presented information about a billing and accounting opportunity that has become available through a partnership between Missouri River Energy Services and Tyler Technologies. Gundvaldson explained the deficiencies in the present systems that are in use by the City, including the inability of the billing software to function with the City’s new Electric Advanced Meter Infrastructure program. She also stated that the present software company has failed to provide product upgrades, and that the support service is extremely poor. The City Administrator was authorized to obtain and review purchase contracts for consideration at an upcoming Council Meeting.

Old Business: Second reading of Ordinance 607, An Ordinance That Amends Existing Title 2, Chapter 2.2, Section 2.2.1 Wards, was conducted. Motion by Pesall and seconded by Ekern to adopt Ordinance 607. The following members voted aye: Bjerke, Ekern, Fargen, Pesall, and Tufty. Nays: None. Absent: None. Motion carried.

New Business: After a brief interview process and the opportunity to ask questions of Curt Ahlers and Erika Knippling, potential candidates for Ward 2, the City Council chose an Alderman to complete the term vacated by Jason Unger. Motion by Fargen and seconded by Bjerke to appoint Curt Ahlers as Alderman of Ward 2. The following members voted aye: Bjerke, Ekern, Fargen, Pesall, and Tufty. Nays: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. Alderman Ahlers will be sworn in at the December 20th Council Meeting.

First reading of Ordinance No. 608, 2021 Appropriations Ordinance, was held.

Motion by Pesall and seconded by Ekern to approve the Codification Agreement with American Legal Publishing Corporation. The following members voted aye: Bjerke, Ekern, Fargen, Pesall, and Tufty. Nays: None. Absent: None. Motion carried.

Motion by Ekern and seconded by Bjerke to approve a one-time COVID Hazard Payment to active full-time City Essential Workers, including Karen Gundvaldson, in the amount of $750.00. The following members voted aye: Bjerke, Ekern, Fargen, Pesall, and Tufty. Nays: None. Absent: None. Motion carried.
