Approval of the Bills and Disbursements
On vote being taken, the motion was unanimously passed.

NEW BUSINESS
Engineer Glienke discussed the scope of the street and utility project. He met with the
contractor about the proposed changes and making it work. Davidson Construction has
agreed to hold their unit bid prices with the reduced scope of work. After going over the
project costs, the total construction costs are at $4.757 million plus engineering costs. The
contractor would hope to start the first phase of the project, the Homark area and 3rd Street,
by September 17, 2018. Discussion was held about the cost of the project. The council
wants time to go over the project costs in detail before making a decision.

Kenfield moved, seconded by Carriere, to table a decision on the street and utility project until
the next council meeting on September 10th.

On vote being taken, the motion was unanimously passed.
Matzke moved, seconded by Kenfield, to approve continuing with the current health insurance
provider with a 4.9% increase and to continue paying the $1,500 into the HSA accounts.
On vote being taken, Brevik and Knaack opposed; the motion was passed.

Two week ago the city water tower was inspected. The last inspection was in 2014. The
condition of the interior has gotten worse. The company recommends doing a complete
sandblast and re-coat for approximately $750,000 within the next 2-3 years. They also think
we should install a mixer for ice issues at a cost of about $9,000. Beginning in 2013, our
Water Tower Improvement Fund from the monthly water bills brings in approximately
$34,000 per year. Although the fund balance is growing, we have not accrued the amount
needed for the estimated repairs.

Brevik moved, seconded by Kenfield, to approve the Property, Casualty and Workman’s
Compensation insurance renewal.
On vote being taken, the motion was unanimously passed.

Kenfield moved, seconded by Carriere, to approve extending summer hours for city
employees through September 30th
.
On vote being taken, the motion was unanimously passed.

The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
