Council discusses lagoon and sewer options; police report notes traffic and medical calls, surplus approved

Council members discussed options presented by Banner for lagoon and water/sewer system projects and directed Maintenance Superintendent Jody Nelsen to consult with the nearby city of Beresford about a recommended system type. The council did not adopt a firm plan and tabled further decisions pending additional information.

Maintenance Superintendent Jody Nelsen reported on August activity, including work on the community center project, a scheduled contractor to grind the tree pile and a completed drain‑tile installation. Chief of Police Mark Foley reported 10 traffic calls and 5 medical calls for August, raised concerns about animal‑waste and stray‑animal ordinances, and presented a list of items proposed for surplus. A motion by Ross Frederickson and second by Neal Hanson to approve the surplus list passed unanimously.

Council asked staff to compile additional information about costs and potential grant matches for street projects and water/sewer options before further action.
