Tom Grau spoke to the council regarding Storm Lake United. The group is wanting to help promote all our towns in Buena Vista county for tourism. He feels that all our communities have a lot to contribute.
Tom also spoke to the council HomeTown Pride. To be part of this group we would pay roughly $691 yearly for 5 years. We would need to find a person to be on this board from the community. There are opportunities for the towns to apply for various grants. Some examples was Laurens with their walking trail and the pond on the east side of town. Thru this group there are revolving loans for businesses also. After much discussion, motion by Ehlers, second by Forbes to join Hometown Pride for 5 years for a yearly fee of $691.00; all voted aye, no nayes, motion carried.
Motion by Ehlers, second by Krohn to set the public hearing for Monday, September 23, 2024 at 7:00 PM to vacate North Railroad Street;all voted aye, no nayes, motion carried.
The council talked about the vacant assistant public works position. We will get a job description put together that can be reviewed by the council.
There being no further business, motion by Forbes, second by Krohn to adjourn the meeting at 8:15 PM; all voted aye, no nayes, motion carried.
