Kimberly Robbins joined the meeting at this time. The county owns the tower west of town, LaMoure Fire & Ambulance use it for their repeater. Electricity is $60/mo, $400 annual lease and maintenance is about $2500/year for a total of $3600 annually. The only thing on the tower is this repeater and one business in town. County is asking for money to pay for expenses or to find another location. Tower was deemed inadequate to hold the current equipment and the city should look at relocating the repeater. County is looking at renewing the contracts. May need to sign a short term contract until new location can be found.
Engineers Report:
-The swimming pool walls have been started. -Water tower work has begun, sprayed 4 mm with poly mixture, now they have started to spray with a concrete fiberglass mixture to coat the inside. Could be done within the next 10 days.
