City Council Brief

Council members attended to old and ongoing business at the May 2 Glasgow City Council meeting. Among the items on the agenda were a bid opening for the purchase of a new mower for use at the cemetery, the payment of claims, a series of budgetary resolutions, and updates on ongoing efforts to secure grant monies. During department head reports, Mayor Becky Erickson made special mention of a Small System Award for Outstanding Operation, Maintenance and Administration of a Wastewater Treatment System received by the city for 2016 from the Montana Water Environment Association. After the meeting, council members toured the city swimming pool, where it was pointed out that necessary improvements at the 50-year-old pool and pool buildings will need to be considered. Look for forthcoming coverage in the Courier of efforts to upgrade the pool facilities.
