Clerk/Treasurer Comments:
Shirley let the Committee know that the Auditors will be here January 13 rather than January 20 as
scheduled. They need to be in Billings for the evenings, so they asked if we would mind if they changed
our schedule.
Shirley asked the Committee members if they were interested in the Regional Municipal Officials
Training on February 6 The training will be at the FAP building from 9:00 to 3:00 p.m. Mark asked
that he be included in the training. Emelie will check her schedule and let me know. Tom has already
signed up.
Mayor's Comments:
Mark stated that the positions within the Budget/Finance Committee will be handled by the president of
the Council. These will take place later.
Ken stated that Kurt will get back to the Committee in regards to the East Main Lift Station.
