City Administrator’s Report
City Administrator Crawford reported they are trying to get as much done in the beginning of the year for items that were approved in the budget due to the delays, they encountered last year.
City Updates & Commission Reports
Commissioner Gulmon reported that the Finance Committee met to review finances through November and they look good. Still waiting on state reimbursement for the flood that we are expecting positive results. We are not expecting financial assistance from our recent snow emergency so we may need to transfer some funds to cover those that are over budget for December. Sales tax through October was good but not reaching the level of 2021. Food and Beverage had another positive month and is running ahead of 2021 as is the Occupancy Tax.
Commissioner Erickson requested garbage cans be cleaned out around for easier access. Also, putting garbage on snowbanks does not help, please place on the ground. The landfill is open for Christmas trees if you would like to bring them out or they will be picked up on Friday the 13th, weather pending. There cannot be anything left on the trees.
President Carlsrud thanked all the employees for doing a great job.
