Mayor Kleiss opened discussion on a tour of the new fire station. Administrator Hoel stated if all council would be there together it should be publicized as an actual meeting.

If we say next week the council is going to tour the fire station, it should be posted. Chief Moody added his intention was to hold a public open house but he is not quite ready yet.
