PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Mayor Altznauer called for and led the Pledge of Allegiance.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Tim Smith made motion to approve the July 17, 2018 minutes of the City of Rutledge Public Hearing as submitted. Brenda Thompson seconded, all voted in favor and motion carried.
RECREATION EVENTS UPDATE – ED HOGAN
Ed Hogan addressed the Mayor and Council and submitted a schedule of events planned by Recreation. He said that Jennifer Buzbee was doing a great job handling the events. He said that there were three new events added. A first annual corn hole tournament was scheduled for October 20th, a community pick-nick in November and a kids parade in December. He advised that they would have the usual yard sale and the spooky fall fest. Ed said that there had been a request to name the downtown park “Central Park”. Council member Sells said why don’t you just have a contest. Ed said that a lot of younger people are getting involved. He informed the council that there was a balance of $1700.00 in the checking and thought that should be enough to cover everything.
BUDGET CORRECTION
City Clerk Debbie Kilgore advised the council that the general fund budget had an addition error in the revenues. The last line item did not add in the total because it was outside the formula. She said the revenue total was correct and is still $497,956.54 so the line item was deleted out. I don’t think we need an amendment since the total did not change but said she would make sure and we could amend it at the next meeting.
TREE BOARD SURVEY INFORMATION
Mayor Altznauer said that he attended a Tree Board meeting on Friday and they gave a printout of what the interns found when they came out in April to do a survey. He said some trees need removal or pruning. Locklin and Seth identified the six that need something. He said it was a very informative report. The Forestry Department has their act together, very informative. We will do our part. Nothing is in imminent danger.
The Mayor thanked everyone for coming and advised that the meeting would now be going into executive session.
