City Manager delivers project and operations updates; pancake dinner, equipment, and ISO status noted

The City Manager report on Jan. 8 provided a range of operational updates. The record notes a Cross Project update — staff could possibly construct but maintenance costs and siting controversy remain — and that the Medford Lions Club will host a pancake and sausage dinner at the homecoming game on Friday, Jan. 12 at 4:00 p.m. Other items recorded include exploring financing options to purchase a track hoe, a scheduled airport crack seal inspection, replacing registers at Crossroads, issuance of the first new golf cart permit, and the Fire Department’s completion of their ISO while maintaining current status.

The minutes also note the City Manager will present on the Palmer Loft at the CMAO Conference this month, a 522 Meeting in Wakita on Thursday that staff should attend, and staff are seeking one last bid on the Cherokee buildings. The minutes present these as informational staff updates; no formal council votes or directives tied to specific funding amounts are recorded in the text.
