The Yale City Council met on Oct. 7 regarding Resolution 25-06 (Notice of hearing on proposed plans, specification, form of contract and estimate of cost for the Water Treatment Filter Unit Replacement Project and the taking of bids therefor). Mayor Bev Louk provided background.
“This is for the bidding for the treatment plant,” Louk said. “On Nov. 4, here at city hall, we will open a public hearing on the plans and specs. Then, on Nov. 6 at 2 p.m., we will open bids.”
The council approved Resolution 25-06.
As in previous years, the council voted to provide funds ($300) for the Saddle Club’s Halloween party.
Mayor Louk explained agenda item No. 10 (CDBG Grant 22-WS-023 Contract Extension).
“It’s just basically to get all the paperwork and everything in,” Louk said. “Chris Whitaker with Region 12 already has the OK.”
The council approved the extension.
The council set trick-or-treating in Yale for 5-7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31.
Mayor Louk brought up the topic of the city purchasing one or more cameras as suggested by Sheriff Harmann. Louk said the camera(s) would be remotely accessible by the Sheriff’s department. Louk said the total cost would be around $13,000 total for four cameras, which is much more than the city anticipated. Councilmember Mindy Fear voiced her concern.
“I feel like we need some clarification,” Fear said.
The council took no formal action but will ask Sheriff Harmann for more information.
The council’s next meeting is set for Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. The public is welcome.
