In other business, several residents were present including Mike and Marsha Gibson to discuss the semi ordinance with the council and Mark and Tarah Hailey to discuss purchasing a piece of city property that is next to theirs.

City Clerk Melissa Cook gave the financial report. The saving for the bond account was made and the city is up $14,000 for the month. She sent out letters to residents on the new billing software and the semi-trucks.
