Director of Public Works Green updated Council on the public works department. Green supplied Council with a quote for renting a dozer for the landfill for a month to compact construction debris. Council requested Green gather quotes from businesses that have dozers and see what the cost difference would be between renting the equipment for a month or paying a company to come compact the construction debris.

Councilmember Smith motioned to accept the bid on the surplus dump truck from Ben Glenn in the amount of $3501.50. Councilmember Stewart seconded. All ayes with Mayor Glenn abstaining.

Police Chief Bryant updated the Council on the police department. At least one Officer was at homecoming events during the week, and they all went well.

HDR Representative Stark updated the council on the Town’s multiple projects with not much new to report. Splash Pad and Powder River Water Project still projecting a spring start date.

Fire Chief Holberg updated Council on the fire department. SCBA equipment for the FEMA grant was ordered.

Holberg also gave Council an update on the ongoing remodel of the MTC in the future Town Hall area. Construction Bids advertisement will go out in the paper this week. Contractors can pick up bid specs from Town Hall or contact Holberg for information.

EMS Director/K.A.R.E. McKee updated the Council on EMS. McKee provided Council with an updated Provider list and explained the difference between licensed and unlicensed providers and the care they can provide. A few of the unlicensed providers are set to take their licensing exams in December. McKee and Clerk Connally finished the Medicare audit reporting, and it was submitted. McKee also advised Council that Clerk Connally did the required WY Dept of Health Rate Survey, and it was submitted.

No new business. Nancy Feehan requested to use the room between the SheShed and Starfish for Christmas Décor and furniture from November 15 – January 15. No action taken due to lack of motion from the Council. Mayor advised Feehan that the answer was no to rent the room due to it being ready to rent to anyone who would like to rent it.

No old business.

With no further business to discuss, Councilmember Stewart motioned to adjourn meeting at 8:00 pm. Councilmember Humpal seconded, all ayes, motion carried.

Ben Glenn, Mayor
