New Richland City Council

By JIM LUTGENS

Editor/Publisher

The New Richland City Council had a special guest at Monday evening's regular meeting at City Hall — Dr. Dennis Goodwin, Superintendent of Schools for NRHEG.

He was not bearing good news.

The street, curbs and sidewalks  adjacent to the school are very much in need of repair. The price tag: an estimated $653,634.38.

It was one of many items discussed by the council, which had a full complement of members accompanying Mayor Christine Gislason and City Clerk Wayne Billing. Guests included Goodwin, Larry and Pam Goehring and Kim Schlaak.

The Ellendale City Council met Thursday, October 10, with Mayor Swearingen and all councilmen present. Also at the meeting were Assistant City Clerk LeAnn Hojberg, Maintenance Supervisor Josh Otto, Municipal Liquor Store Manager Pete Paulson and Frank Thompson of Thompson Sanitation. 

Thompson said the current contract is about to expire. He informed the council there would be a slight increase for the next three-year contract. The increase will be 25 cents per week per household. Thompson explained the service would remain on the same day and about the same pick-up times. Thompson was asked about the container sizes for households and replied there are three different sizes. They have 95, 65 and 35-gallon containers available. Thompson added that if any customer would like to change container size to give them a call at 507-256-4370. The council thanked Thompson for the good service he has been providing the city and moved to approve another three-year contract.
