Official Minutes

Monday  November 3, 2008

The Council of the City of Eddyville met in regular session on Monday, November 3, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall, Mayor Johnston presiding.

Council Members present: John R. Johnson, Jim Durst, Larry Harding, Dwight Lobberecht.

Council Members absent: Richard Shepherd.

Durst moved, seconded by Harding to approve the agenda as presented. AYE: 4. NAY: 0. Motion carried.

Johnson moved, seconded by Durst to approve the consent agenda consisting of minutes of meetings in October, bills for October payable in November 2008.  AYE: 4. NAY: 0. Motion carried.

Lobberecht suggested that city hall be moved to the back offices where the clinic was. That way the clerk would have an office, the guys would have an office to take samples and do reports and the mayor could have an office, the outer area could be used for cemetery maps and other maps without interrupting people coming in to pay their utility bill.  Sometimes people wish to talk to the Mayor and this would give them a little more privacy. The police department would stay where they are now but with more room and privacy.  Lobberecht also didn’t think it would cost much; build a new counter and paint walls and clean carpets.  Mayor asked him to get some prices and the layout of the area for the next meeting.

Durst moved, seconded by Lobberecht to approve the 07/08 Annual Finance Report as presented.  AYE: 4. NAY: 0. Motion carried.

Fire Chief Smith was present and informed the council they are still working to get the first responders up and operational again. Lobberecht said they all need to work together so everyone is aware of what is taking place. Smith again emphasized the need for house numbers, with so many new members and residents sometimes the houses are not easy to find, especially from the ambulance from Ottumwa or Oskaloosa.

Mayor informed the council the Corps of Engineers should be here within six weeks for inspection of the levee.

Mayor announced the need for a special meeting on November 17, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. to open the quotes for engineering services the sewer and misc. work.
