3. CAPITAL PROJECT REPORTS: Per a suggestion made by Shirley Clark and Utility Billing/Payroll Clerk Lindsey Offenburger, Information Technology Kurt Ripperger placed a link on the city’s web site (www.cityofindianola.gov) where citizens can get updates about capital projects. Kurt added a "View Project Reports" page under the "I Want to" tab on the website. It will provide easy access for citizens. Thanks Shirley, Lindsey and thanks Kurt!!
