New Richland City Council
By NICOLE BILLING
Editorial Assistant
The New Richland City Council held its second meeting of the year Monday, Jan. 27 at 6:30 p.m. All members were in attendance. The agenda was approved along with the consent agenda.
The Care Center report stated there were three new advisory board members: Judith Ritter, Cathy Crowe, and Joann Maloney.
The Care Center is going to go through and mark the percentage of variables between what is being budgeted and how much is actually being spent, which the council approved. The money market report and write-off report was given, with the council approving both reports. The Care Center is using a different payroll account, so they requested the money left over in the payroll account in the bank, an amount of $3,178.46, be moved to the general account, which was approved.

The Geneva Cancer Auction has built quite a reputation over the past 30 years. The $1 million mark for money raised in Geneva was reached in 2010 and now, in 2014, another new mark was set.
The 2014 auction brought this year’s total to $100,000. Yes, $100,000!
Whitey and LaJune Hagen again made their yearly trip to the Eagles Cancer Telethon in Rochester on Sunday, January 19, to make the presentation on behalf of the many great people from the Geneva area who help raise money for cancer research.
