Also want to thank Chief Wyman and his staff, all healthcare workers and first responders out there every day. Thank you to the school district after receiving some bad news that school is done for the year yet continuing to give our kids learning opportunities. City Manager’s Report: Aaron Adams stated the sidewalk project has been completed. The Trail project is continuing to move forward. The Roche Street Culvert project will be starting in the next week to week and a half. There is the anticipated May 4th Highway 14 work to begin. Lot of projects moving forward despite the somewhat limited circumstances. Police Chief Dan Losada: Thank you for hiring the new Officer. Normally they would be brought forward to be sworn in, however tomorrow they will be sworn in with the Mayor. They will be introduced to council when we start having meetings again in the council chambers. Fire Chief Cal Wyman: With the Covid-19 we continue to work with the hospital, Public Health and the Marion County Emergency Management Agencies. Things are still changing daily, trying to stay abreast of everything. Due to what the residents have done that’s why we are seeing a lower count here than in other areas.
