Editor’s note: Monteith is an unincorporated community in Guthrie County. Residents in or around the area gather monthly to share updates on projects and celebrate milestones. Following are the “minutes” from the affectionally named “Monteith City Council Meeting.” We are pleased to publish these as submitted.
Mayor J.D. Kuster brought meeting to order with Pledge of Allegiance. There were 14 members present. A few were missing due to illnesses or because they were visiting warmer weather.
Birthdays in February included J.D. Kuster and Barb Bachman. No anniversaries.
Old business
- Several members surprised Jim Smithat his home for his 85th birthday. He was surprised and very appreciative.
- Ladies did 155 valentines for 3 of the county nursing homes
New business
- Three items were tabled. Kilt Fest Painting, Christmas decorations, and topic of planting something at Monteith City Park to replace the dead tree that was taken down. Thank you to the Kress family for taking care of the dead tree.
Upcoming dates for meetings:
- The guys will have Zoning Commission (will be playing cards) on Feb. 21 instead of Feb. 28. We changed because on Feb. 28 there will be a celebration of life for Jeff Derry‘s dad. Our sympathies go out to Jeff and his family.
- Next Monteith City Council meeting will be on March 11.
Jim Smith made motion to adjourn meeting. It was seconded by Barry Branson.
Following the meeting, we had a dinner to celebrate Valentines Day. Again, we had good food and fun with great friends.
