City Council meets
The Cottonwood City Council held a special meeting Wednesday, Jan. 20, to take care of a couple of pressing items. The Council had met previously on Friday, Jan. 15 and decided to hire attorney Adam Green to research the election laws and come up with an opinion on the mayor position. With that still pending Denis Duman, for the time being still the mayor, entertained a motion to contract the agenda down to opening bids for surplus property and alcohol beverage licenses. Surplus items included the extrication equipment rendered as surplus by the purchase of new equipment, grader tires, excess hall tables and a snowplow blade. Kiley Riley submitted a bid of $2 each for the tables, no quantity listed in her bid. Luke Geis submitted a bid of $320 for the extrication equipment. North Fremont Fire District submitted a bid of $2850 for the extrication equipment. Ed Terhaar submitted a big of $625 for the hydraulic cutter and $62.50 for the 10 ft. truck snowplow blade. Ron Grant made a motion that was seconded and approved to accept North Fremont Fire District’s bid for the extrication equipment. There was discussion on the tables bid and it was decided that Riley could have the number of tables she wanted for her bid price and if she didn’t want all of them, the rest could be donated. Shelli Schumacher, present via speakerphone from Colorado where she was visiting a new grandchild, made the motion to do so. It was seconded and approved. Jack Duman stated he would like to postpone any decision on the snowplow bid. He made the motion to table it, seconded and approved. In the only other business of the evening beer, wine and liquor by the drink licenses were approved for Rod Quick of Rodonna’s Country Haus and Doreen Ash of Doreen’s Saloon. Beer and wine sales licenses were approved for the Mini-Village, Riener’s Grocery and Cottonwood Foods. A beer license was approved for Wolftrack Brewing. The meeting adjourned at 7:20 p.m. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 8 at 7 p.m. |
