Old Business

A letter was submitted to the council about the upkeep of a property in town. They were asking for suggestions about what else they could do to comply with the city ordinance. The council will reach out to them and ask more questions about their property.

New Business   

The council completed a project needs list for the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments (NWMORCOG). This needs list includes projects around town that could use improvements and NWMORCOGs help in looking for and writing grants to receive funding for the projects.

Christy will submit the list to the NWMORCOG and see what they can do to help.
