Sternquist will start paving the remainder Saturday and anticipates opening it
up to traffic July 3. Opera people will be routed down “D” Street until
complete. Karol Nickel, Executive Director called Tuesday and was very

next and will be closed Monday morning.

IPADS: I
spoke with John Hoyman regarding IPAD usage and if council should be allowed to
purchase them. Ownership takes out the monitoring aspect and allows personal
use. It was suggested the dollar amount to purchase them should be $250 or half
of the value. This is equal to about $5.21 per month over a four year mayor/council
term. This would be strictly optional and individuals not interested in
purchasing and only using them for city business could return them at the end
of a term. Please let me know your thoughts.

POLICE
ACADEMY: Attached is a picture of those who completed the junior police
academy class. Congrats to the juniors and Officers Brad Metcalf and Mesha
Wagner for another successful class!
4.
CLEANING
SERVICES: The city sent out RFPs for cleaning services. The current
contractor indicated they will not submit a proposal and will provide services
through July 31. Therefore, a temporary person and/or company will need to be
hired until the new contract is approved.

AGREEMENTS: The draft 28E agreements with Simpson and the schools are
