7:55 p.m.
The minutes of the June 4,
2002 Public Hearing and Regu-

reviewed. Council Member

minutes as corrected. Council

tion carried.

The revised Attorney Re-
tainer Contract was reviewed.
Council Member Conrad
moved to approve the revised

Superintendent Kraus in-
formed the council that the
overlay on the streets at the
Park Valley addition were fin-,
lshed and we would be getting
a bill from JJ Westoff Con-
struction requesting final
payment of the money that
was held by the city until the
streets were repaired properly.
Mayor Hendrlcks com-
mended City Street/Utility
Worker Raymond Johnson on
the good Job he did while
Su-
perintendent Kraus was on va-
cation. He stated that Mr.
Johnson researched some of
the assessments and also re-
measured property, which was
in question pertaining to the
2002 Curb and Gutter Project.
Superintendent Kraus was
questioned about when Ebert
Construction would come back
and do some re-seeding that
was needed since the Curb and
Gutter Project is finished. Mr.
Kraus stated that there is a
warranty for one year.
Superintendent Kraus in-
formed the council that he
had a waste-water seminar to
attend in July. The seminar
will include different ways to
rehab the sewer mains and
sewer manholes. This will
also allow the city to see if It
would be feasible to go that
way rather than having to re-
place the sewer mains and
manholes. Mr. Kraus ex-
plained there are a few blocks
of sewer pipe that are about
ready to collapse. The sewer
system was installed in the
early 1920's; therefore, It will
start needing maintenance in
the near future. The city will
look into some kind of grant
money to help with the cost.
There was discussion about
how the city will pay the city's
portion of the assessments on
the Curb and Gutter Project
and Park Valley Project per-
taining to the 2002 Bond Is-
sue. No action was taken.
There will be a budget meeting
in the near future with the
City Auditor and It will be de
clded at that time.
The Assessment Roll as per
Resolution 2000-5 was dis-
cussed. City Clerk White in-
formed the council thfit there
was an error made by Frog-
gatte and Company on the as
sessments and the corrected
assessments would be going
out to the citizens. City Clerk
White was asked to contact
Froggatte and Company and
request an explanation be
mailed with the corrected as-
sessments explaining the as-
sessment changes.
County Clerk Savage con-
tacted Clty Clerk White and
asked if the Community Cen-
ter might be used to hold their
voting poles In. It was the
consensus of the governing
body that even though the
basement of the center is
handicap accesslble it would
be a hardship for the handi cap
and elderly people to park
close enough to use the facil-
ity, since there is very little
room to turn around at the
basement entrance. They sug-
gested that maybe they could
use Palenske Hall for this
purpose.
There was a discussion on
our city pool being without a
WSI teacher to teach swim-
ming lessons. It is a law thai
one of the instructors has to
have their WSI training in or-
der to hold swimming lessons,
thus causing the lessons to be
moved back a week. A Wamego
WSI Instructor has agreed to
come and teach the first ses-
sion. It was presented to the
council that Alma Pool life-
guard Courtney Skuban has
agreed to take the WSI train-
ing if the city would pay for
the training. Her training
would be completed in time
for the second session swim
lessons. It was determined it
would be cost effective for one
of our own lifeguards to have
the training instead of paying
someone else to come tn and
teach. After some discussion
Council Member Frank moved
for the city to pay to have Life-
guard Skuban take the WSI
training. Seconded by Council
Member Gronqulst. Motion
carried.
At 9:25 p.m. Council Mem-
ber Conrad moved to adjourn
to July 2, 2002 at 7:30 p.m. to
conduct regular city business.
Seconded by Council Member
Gronqulst. Motion carried.
Meeting adjourned.
