The Albert City city council met in regular session on Monday, September 12, 2022. Mayor Skog called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. All councilmembers were present. Also present was Luke Ehlers of IS Group.
Motion by Forbes, second by Hanson to approve the agenda with the deletion of Landfill discussion; all voted aye, no nayes, motion carried.
Motion by Ehlers, second by Krohn to approve the minutes of the previous minutes as printed; all voted aye, no nayes, motion carried.
Motion by Ehlers, second by Nagengast to approve the treasury report for August; all voted aye, no nayes, motion carried.
Motion by Hanson, second by Forbes to approve paying the bills with the addition:
Luke spoke to the council regarding electrical upgrade for the water plant. We need to have 400 AMP ran versus we currently are at 200 AMP which would not allow both wells and service pumps to work all at the same time if we ever need to do that. Even though this isn’t something that happens all the time when the time comes for us to paint the inside of our water plant we would need to get the electric done first to do that. We will not need an engineering firm to oversee this so we can get our own bids.\
The council discussed the drainage issues still though out town. Dale had met with the county engineer regarding drainage along C29 on the north side of the ditch. The county is looking into repairing the tile that is in that ditch.
The council discussed RV parking up at the ballfield. We will need to contact our city attorney to see what kind of agreement he can draw up for this.
There was discussion of the land north of the ballfields. The tenant would like to rotate his crop between soybeans and alfalfa. The city will need to get with our building clerk so that we can take this to the board of adjustments for their approval.
There was talk about a new payloader. We were locked into $169,000 but that time is about to expire on that offer. We will need to talk with Deputy Clerk Sundblad about the financing part of this first.
There being no further business, motion by Forbes, second by Hanson to adjourn the meeting at 8:55 PM; all voted aye, no nayes, motion carried.

Deposits for July
Libby spoke to the council about the pool. She thinks the last day of the pool being opened their normal hours is on Friday, August 12 since most kids either have sports or getting ready to attend college. All lessons are done. The council asked for her to make suggestions for the next pool season.
There was discussion of the Evangelical Free Church’s new building to be located on the football field. The drainage for the church will tie into a tile that will take the water north to the ditch there. The drainage district engineer has no problem with this. Also the city will not be sharing our drive on the north end with the church. They will be putting in 1 drive on the west entrance of the church. With these 2 issues figured out, the church can proceed on building their church. Jayme will review with them the water and sewer hookup on the east side.
Keith Moe discussed with the council about looking into having lots surveyed in town when they exchange ownership. This would certainly save confusion on where the lot lines are. Also we may need to check into regulations for what kind of fencing material we may want to require.
The council decided to do fall cleanup September 9-11th this year.
There being no further business, motion by Ehlers, second by Krohn to adjourn the meeting at 8:10 PM; all voted aye, no nayes, motion carried.
