Visitors: Andy Koval with the probation office asked if it would be okay for the community service kids to pull weeds at the park and around the stage area. The council gave permission, and thanked Andy for his work.
New Business: Mayor Jones closed the regular meeting and opened for the 2nd public hearing for CDBG phase 6 of the water project. Greg Lukasik with Great West Engineering gave a PowerPoint presentation. Greg went over the different funding strategies for phase 6. Currently RD loan rates are at 1.375% for 40 years compared to SRF 2.5 % for 20 years. One option would be to refinance SRF loans with RD. If we chose the RD loan option there likely would not be a rate increase. Mayor Jones closed the hearing at 7:25.
Mayor Jones: would like to get a laptop with a camera for the office. After this meeting she will hold all the council meetings virtual with go to meeting. Toombs also suggest purchasing small cameras for the desktop computers. Mayor Jones said any items bought during covid can be reimbursed with state funds set aside for covid relief. Deliah Turley approached the Mayor about taking the Stockman Bar as a donation. Kathy Bailey with SMDC says the City will be able to tear it down with grants that are no cost to the city.
City Attorney Lundvall: Working on fee resolution. Mayor Jones informed him there will be more information for the fee resolution. Lance is also working with a property about a zoning issue, 803 2nd Street West. The contract for deed language looked good, if anyone has questions about it forward them to Lance.
Unfinished Business: Tabled Zoning and Curfew Ordinance.
Director Sibley: New water pump is in. The project is in the clean-up phase and will be wrapped up next week. Sibley is waiting on the cold mix to fix the road by the hospital.
Council Action Item: NO PUBLIC COMMENT.

Funding phase 6 water project. Moved by Toombs as a preliminary vote to go with the RD for 40 years refinancing all loans and completing phase 6 as one whole project. Seconded by Fisher. All in favor. Motion carried.
