Public Comments:
It was mentioned that there is an upcoming enterprise zone meeting at Marshall City Hall on March 22nd at 1pm.
The electric aggregation rates for the city have been negotiated and “Homefield” again has the lowest rate. The city locked in their rate @ $5.05 for the first 12 months and then $5.04 for the next 24 months. Residents will be receiving letters on this and it will start with the June 2018 reading.
The tap fees for the Dollar General Stores water and sewer taps were mentioned and council will consider forgoing the tap fees if they use natural gas for heating. Something will need to be put in the minutes to reflect this after contact is made with company.
The signage at the wastewater treatment plant is showing wear and Rick Wolfe proposed to make a new sign for $200.00. This will be discussed at a later meeting.
**Motion by C Davidson 2nd by M Cribelar to adjourn meeting @ 7:35pm.
