The Cottonwood City Council held a special meeting Tuesday, June 9, as they were unable to meet a quorum for their regular meeting Monday, June 8. Lynn Guyer was present and expressed concern about youth using the church parking lost as a place to hang out and the noise bothering those that live near the church. In reports Debby O’Neill reported the city pumped 2,716,100 gallons of water in May and sold 2,596,040 for a loss of 7.67%. She reported well #5 is back up and running. Pat McWilliams has finished up the structural repairs to the water tank that were found when it was to be repainted inside. The paint crew should be coming back soon to finish the job. Mac Hankins said the well #5 problem was a software issue. Brett Miller said he didn’t have anything to report on the sewer department. Pat Enneking said they replaced another section of sewer pipe in town. The city will start sprinkling in the sewer treatment area on June 15. Kristine Holthaus reported the crack sealing has been finished and dust abatement on gravel streets has started. Chip sealing will be done as a second treatment to the streets done last year. Linda Nida reported they need to put signs up at the splash pad. They don’t want to turn the splash pad water on until they get the water tank that is being repainted back online. Holthaus had nothing new to report for the airport. Nida said the fire department had 2 calls the past month. They were a car fire and a lift assist on East Street for an ambulance call. In unfinished business the Wastewater Reuse Phase II Project Bids were discussed and the council voted to reject the bids and call for a rebid once they get more information on what the Idaho Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) actually wants them to do. In new business, city clerk Lynn Thompson was appointed as 504/ADA Coordinator. A contract with the Idaho County Sheriff’s Department that should get more city patrol time until the city can hire a new police chief was approved. The FY 2025 audit/financial statement had no special findings and was approved. In other business there was a reminder that there will be a public meeting Wednesday, June 17 at the Community Hall, starting at 7 p.m. about the draft plan regarding the proposed project to deal with flood water mitigation in Cottonwood. The meeting adjourned at 8 p.m. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 13 at 7 p.m. |
