Council approved over $500,000.00 in expenses. One of the larger expenses was for a new loader that was damaged during the flood.
There were three individuals that spoke during the meeting, one on flood control, one to promote cycling and routes for cycling and another that wanted the council to look into getting health insurance from a company that would promote discounts for healthy lifestyles and exercise programs.
