During the regular meeting of the Bagley City Council on Sept. 3, the councilmembers addressed the issue of the mayor vacancy following the resignation of Glen Foresman. The council appointed Amanda Waltz to the position of mayor, effective immediately.
In other business, the council discussed setting purchase limits on the various credit cards and accounts used by the city. It was pointed out that cards/accounts have had limits of various amounts ranging from $200 to $500.
“If we set them all at $500, I don’t think that will be a problem,” Mayor Pro Tem Emily Chapman Olesen said.
After discussion, the council voted to set all such limits at $500. Any purchases in excess of $500 would need prior approval.
The council discussed the property at 405 1st Ave., which the city owns. Although the property was previously offered for sale, no acceptable offers were received. The council chose to post notice that the city will accept sealed bids of $1,000 or more, and anyone purchasing the property will be expected to clear it within 30 days.
The next regular meeting of the Bagley city council will be Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 6 p.m.. The public is welcome.
