REPORT OF MAYOR, ADMINISTRATOR & COUNCILMEMBERS:
	
Councilmember Cuff:	Fire hydrant at Mill and Darland needs to be cleared.  

Councilmember Dixon:    Has had complaints about the “ditch” at 3rd and pipeline.  It was noted that the gas company will be correcting the problem because it was created when they replaced line in that location.  Questioned the old vehicles and tires being moved at the old Boise Cascade site.  Mayor Sigfrinius noted that the landowner is having the lot cleaned up.

Councilmember Johnston:	Wondered about the flags on the flower barrels downtown.  It was his impression that flags were going to be hung from the light poles.  Mayor Sigfrinius noted the flags were donated and therefore, the City didn’t have any input in the location of the flags.  The beautification committee has planted the barrels and placed the flags. 

ADJOURNMENT:
