Committee Reports:
City Manager/Liquor Store – Matt: Jody has been busy with the audit and did a great job keeping up with Schlenner Wenner & Co. when they were here January 23, 2017 and January 24, 2017. The option of on-line utility billing is still being looked at and more research needs to be done. The Liquor Store received the new credit card terminal and is working good.
Maintenance Supervisor Report – Wendell: Patrick has now been with the city for a month and doing a great job. Wendell was originally going to keep receiving the total Auto Reimbursement of $250.00 monthly until April 2017 but Wendell thinks they should split the Auto Reimbursement starting February, each receiving $125.00.
Water and Sewer – Mike: Patrick and Mike are now covering the sewer plant on the weekends. They have also been busy repainting the preliminary room at the sewer plant. Mike is registered to take the Class C Wastewater test in March 2017.
Police Department Report – Chief Strack: Police Officer Mitchell Tavares has been visiting residents about nonregistered vehicles. Chief Strack purchased door hangers, which will allow the Police Department to leave information about any potential violations at a residence in the event the owner is not home at the time of a visit.

Rick – would like to discuss more options about the permits for Whispering Willow Estates Trailer Park.
