Motion carried, all voting aye (4-0). DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF SKID-STEER BROOM ATTACHMENT The Street department received two quotes for a new skid-steer broom attachment. Quotes were received from Farmers Implement and Ritchie Implement. Farmers Implement price was $300 more than Ritchie Implement's, however, Street Foreman Mohlmann would like to keep the purchase local if at all possible. The broom is used to clean the sidewalks on High Street, and in places the street sweeper can’t reach. It also gets used at the parks and the sewer plant. Alder Martin stated that if the money will be spent on the new broom attachment, he wants to see it be used, especially on High Street. Motion (Weier/McKeon) to approve the purchase of a new skid-steer broom attachment from Farmers Implement. Motion carried, all voting aye (3-0).

DISCUSSION OF CEMETERY PLOWING POLICIES Administrator Honer read through the policies. There is liability both ways, which is what the committee wanted. This is something that should be re-visited each year, especially if the City needs to look into any cost savings in the budget. There is no termination of the policy/agreement unless there is written notice. Alder Christensen suggested getting an updated agreement with the current Church employees and cemetery association members. Alder McKeon would like to see one signed each year so that everyone is on the same page. The Committee advised Administrator Honer to reach out to the Church and Cemetery Association to get updated signatures. ADJOURN. Motion (McKeon/Weier) to adjourn at 6:19 pm.
