With such a long, accom-plished life, it is difficult to fullydescribe the impact George Mc-Govern had on our world. In eachchapter of his life, his contribu-tions to our society were gigantic.His accomplishments have al-ready been the subject of manybooks, and his legacy will live onforever.

I was just nine years old whenGeorge was elected to Congress.As a young man, I followed his ca-reer closely as he became increas-ingly influential. To see a manfrom Mitchell become a leadingvoice on the biggest issues of theday was inspiring to me andmany other young SouthDakotans. This inspiration con-tinued throughout all of George’slife. Even in these last few years,he spent time with South Dakotastudents, which undoubtedly in-spired them to think big abouttheir futures and how they canhave an impact on our world.

Although George’s 1972 Presi-dential Race against Richard

Nixon gets a lot of attention, thework he did before and after histime in public office was incredi-ble. George summed it up bestlast month when he wrote an ar-ticle for the Washington Post onlosing the 1972 Race. Georgewrote that while the loss was asignificant personal setback, “Ihave acknowledged it, absorbed itand integrated it into the rest ofthe long life I have been privi-leged to lead. Before that race, Ihad survived 35 missions as a B-24 bomber pilot in World War II;married Eleanor Stegeberg, thelove of my life; had five children;completed a PhD in history; andhad a successful career in politicsand government service.”

Instead of lamenting about los-ing the election, George wentback to work. George made ourworld a better place through hiswork on many issues, includingagriculture and foreign policy.But his greatest public policyachievement has to be his workon hunger issues. What drove

George to work tirelessly to com-bat hunger worldwide was hisrecognition that we are fortunateto live in a country with foodabundance. He knew that somany individuals across theworld were not as lucky. Georgeoften noted that hunger is a polit-ical condition that is 100 percentcurable. In our country and acrossthe world, there are countless in-dividuals who never knew Georgebut are no longer suffering fromhunger because of his work.

It is sad to lose George, but wewill be able to see his impact onthe world for decades to come.South Dakotans and folks acrossthe U.S. and world are thankfulfor his long life of service. Person-ally, I am thankful for George’sfriendship and advice. And Ithink I speak for many SouthDakotans who grew up followinghis career when I say that I amthankful to George for showing usthat a kid from South Dakota canhave a major impact on theworld.

October is Domestic ViolenceAwareness Month across the na-tion and a time to support thecampaign against domestic vio-lence and abuse.

“Many South Dakotans are af-fected by domestic violence, re-gardless of age, education orrace,” said Kim Malsam-Rysdon,secretary of the Department ofSocial Services. “It is importantfor individuals to understand thesigns of abuse, so victims can getthe help they need.”

The South Dakota DomesticAbuse Program funds 27 shelters

across the state for victims ofabuse. Shelter programs offermany services, including 24-hourcrisis lines, transportation, imme-diate and safe shelter, food, cloth-ing, counseling and information,and referrals to other services vic-tims may need.

Congress passed the first Do-mestic Violence AwarenessMonth commemorative legisla-tion in 1989. National, statewide,and community-based domesticviolence prevention and victimservice organizations mark thismonth with recognition cere-

monies, memorial activities, pub-lic education campaigns and com-munity outreach events.

The Faith City Council heardfrom department heads at theirOctober 16th meeting. Cindy reported for the ambu-lance/drivers license department.The ambulance made 16 runs inSeptember, and had 12 drivers li-censes issued. She asked to at-tend the EMS Conference, alongwith 3 other ambulance staff, inWatertown October 25-28. Theywould requre 2 rooms and use ofthe city vehicle. Council approvedthe request. One ambulance isstill down due to electical prob-lems, but she be repaired soon.

Debbie reported that thebudget was done. She had a tele-conference with Pierre regardinga few changes to be looked at.

Donn said that some of theirsafety equipment has arrived.The crew will be gathering theauction items and hauling themto the community center onThursday. The crew has installedsome of the phone cable and willbe working on Justin Inghram’spower pole soon. The crew hasalso been busy spreading gravelat the lake and cemetery. Thesewers were all jetted last weekand all went well; there werequite a few tree roots. They ex-panded the dump hole 80’ fornow. Glen also noted they need toclean up some of the city’s prop-erty.

Hoss stated that the Stategame trapper doesn’t trapskunks. Individuals can trap theskunks if they want. Faith isn’tthe only town with this probably,everybody has them. They aremoving into town looking forwater and food. Hoss reportedthat he and Brian have gotten ridof 14 of them. Dispatch has re-ceived 4 fire calls but there havebeen more than that.

The Faith City Council heldfurther discussion with GregFisher on his culvert proposal.Members looked over his site ear-ler so they could make a betterdecision on his proposal to placeabout 45’ of culvert in the alleybehind his house in town.Spencer was concerned about thewater hitting the bank head onand washing a hole. Greg said hewas going to place railroad ties tohelp that. The culvert won’t affectthe drainage. Greg said the alleycould be straightened as it shouldbe. He said that the drain gratesget more debirs since the city hasput in curb and gutter. He feltthis alley has been neglected andwould just like to fix it so it drainsproperly. Riley said she had re-ceived a call concerning back-upinto the Pratt yard, and hers.Mayor Haines said they have noordinance regarding alleywaysbut Dave Lutz should take a lookat it. Greg wondered if the citywould do the labor if there is noproblem with the proposal. Nolandidn’t think the city should do thework. Riley didn’t have a problemwith the city crew putting it in.She felt he was trying to fix thedrainage issue and the alley, and

they need to look into it more andwork with him. They’ve helpedothers and she felt it was theright thing to do. Spencer saidthey tear down houses for peopleand felt they should help him.Nolan felt the crew had too manyother things to do, unless it didn’tneed to be done soon. Greg wouldlike to do it this fall. Haines saidthe culvert also requires tarpaper, seals, etc. Greg asked if thecrew could, at least, haul the cul-vert down there for him. Hainessaid the city would not be respon-sible if any were dropped. Afterfurther discussion, Greg said hewould take care of it. He will visitwith Dave Lutz further.

Resolution #10-16-12-01 forthe transfer of funds was ap-proved.

Debbie asked if council wouldapprove changing the funds fromlottery that go into the Commu-nity Development savings ac-count to Fixed Assets instead andsee how it does, to build up fundsfor an ambulance and police car.And also change the ambulanceCapital Outlay which is now$250 to $750 and $20 per ambu-lance run. They could start it andback it off if it doesn’t work. Thiswould require a resolution so willbe on the next agenda.

Debbie had a quote of $4,000for the gym floor, up a little fromlast year. It will be done in be-tween the volleyball and basket-ball season.

Mayor Haines said that at the

Municipal League meeting theuse of city equipment by individ-uals was one topic of discussion.For insurances reasons, thisshouldn’t be done. Equipmentmust be operated by a city em-ployee. Haines also had a Prop-erty Managment Code Book thatcovers tearing down houses, etc.He thought they needed to imple-ment their own book. He said it isvery simple, lots of town are doingit. They can also implement a cellphone use policy. Hoss said thereis no state law against it yet. Deb-bie will check with the State andsee if they have a sample policy.

Council approved the list ofsurplus items that Debbie pre-sented. Some of the items will besold at the auction and some de-stroyed.

Bids for repairing the pumphouse were opened at 7:30. Onlyone bid was received: Larry RossConstruction for $1854 to replacea door, steel cable, etc. Councilacdepted his bid.

Council approved one buildingpermit: Mickey and HeatherKirkley for a 14’x20’ deck on thefront side of their house. Donnsaid it would be 12’ from the curbso they are within their propertyline. Council approved the per-mit. Debbie wondered if the cul-vert project required a buildingpermit.

Council retired into executivesession at the end of their meet-ing to discuss possible litigation.

Wednesday and Thursday oflast week brought with it ex-tremely strong, steady winds.Damage was done to trees andother vulnerable things like thewind turbine blade at CammackRanch Supply. The most danger-ous thing to be doing that day wasto drive a semi-truck and trailerwith an empty pot. Buddy Simonsand son made a miraculous trip toPierre on Wednesday and filledthe belly of the trucks with waterbefore heading home. The Rho-dens, Casey Brink, and EarlSmiths were scheduled to shipcalves to Minnesota on Thursday,but postponed until Saturday.Saturday was a beautiful day forriding, loading, and hauling cat-tle, as well as pretty much anyoutdoor activity. Buddy made amuch more relaxing haul that daythan he would have on Thursday.

Delbert Cobb and others par-ticipated in the SDRA event inRapid City on Saturday. I wouldlove to report some results if any-one would like to submit them.

Also on Saturday evening wasDonkey Basketball in Faith. Itserved as a fund raiser for theFaith senior class. Paige Brinkand Reggie Rhoden participatedin the game by riding a donkey. Itprovided some good entertain-ment.

The Faith Longhorns sufferedtheir first loss of the football sea-son on Friday night against Hard-ing County. However, the scorewas a close 28-26. Playoffs beganthis week on Tuesday in Faith.

Gary and Amy Cammack havecompleted construction on theirnew addition to their home.Friends and neighbors are anx-ious to see the finished product sothey will be hosting an OpenHouse on November 4, from 2:00

- 4:00 pm. This is the first Sundayof the month so a potluck dinnerwill follow church services inUnion Center and all are wel-come.

Saturday night or early Sun-day morning, November 4 iswhen we will 'fall' back and putclocks back one hour. This givesus an extra hour that day.

A blood drive was held thisweek on Tuesday in Union Cen-ter. For those wishing to giveblood but were unable to make itthis week, please contact DonnaCammack or Carolyn Moreland.

The deadline for registering tovote is this week. For questionsconcerning this, one should callthe Meade County Auditor.

We are wishing Ronnie Op-stedahl the best as he recoversfrom a slight stroke. Also, someare developing throat and lungproblems that are likely due tothe dry, dusty air. Those workingamong cattle and other occupa-tions that stir up the dust havenoticed symptoms of sore throatsand coughs. Please continue topray for rain.

On Saturday, October 27 from4:00 - 7:30 pm there will be aSoup & Pie Supper at the CMCCommunity Center. Hosted bythe Prairie Bible Church of God,there will be face painting, fishpond, bouncy castle, cake walkand much more. Proceeds fromthe event will go toward a base-ment foundation for the church'snew parsonage.

October is "Pastor Apprecia-tion Month". It is a good time tothank your pastor for his leader-ship, guidance, sacrifice, and will-ingness to take a stand for theAlmighty. What would we dowithout our pastors?

Is it just me or are we hearingmore and more about some foolgetting a gun and shooting inno-cent people? I watch my grandsonplay guns around the house andknow that he is already learninggun safety. He and I sneak downthe stairs and around corners toshoot the bad guys. We never play“get even” or “shoot the innocentpeople.” We hunt coyotes, skunks,wolves and bears in my livingroom. He already knows not topoint a gun at his head and thatguns are “bad, bad danger.” Hepretends to have a gun safe justlike daddy and he locks his gunsin it. He does not mess withdaddy’s guns. Is it the lack of gunknowledge, the violence on TVand all these video games thatshoot, kill and blow up everythingin sight causing this epidemic ofviolence? Do these people need aphysical outlet for their angersuch as chopping wood, pitchinghay or hauling bales? Is too muchsitting on their backside resultingin this rage? Is it the lack of aChristian influence in today’sworld or is it just the fact that cityfolks often don’t know and don’tcare about others? Gun control isnot the answer, people caringabout others is an answer. Teach-ing proper gun use and safetyshould be taught at a young ageby example not by a video game!

Sympathy is extended to thefamily of Johnny Hostetter andIrene Starr. John and Betty livednorthwest of Faith on the oldGottschalk place for many years.They and their children have en-riched the community with theircontributions over the years.

Condolences also go out to thefamily of Irene Starr. My family

knew Leon and Irene for manyyears. They were a family whowas involved in all aspects oftheir Dupree community. Shetaught church school, quilted andhelped the 4-H, not to mentionbeing a charter member of theSenior Citizens in Dupree. Ver-non, A.J. and Lester she was amom to be proud of. God bless allof you.

Please Vote NO on InitiatedMeasure #15By Senator Ryan Maher

Initiated Measure #15 is a per-manent $180 million tax increaseon almost everything people buyin South Dakota every year, for-ever. This is a sales and use taxincrease from 4% to 5%, which isactually a 25% tax increase-- thelargest tax increase in SouthDakota History.

ALL $180 million of the highertaxes are mandated to go ONLYto schools ($90 million) and ONLYto Medicaid providers ($90 mil-lion), such as doctors, clinics andhospitals. NONE of the money isallowed to be spent on roads,bridges, highways, small businessloans, local sewer and water proj-ects, parks, and other things toimprove South Dakota’s quality oflife.

Initiated measure #15 waswritten by Sioux Falls lawyers,behind closed doors, and with nopublic input into the proposedlaw. The way the proposed law iswritten, this tax increase is out-side the current education fund-ing formula. What does this meanfor Western South Dakota? Itmeans our schools will receivevery little of this money, most ofthis tax increase will end up inSioux Falls. Your tax dollars arenot going to be spent locally, theywill all end up in the major met-ropolitan areas of this state. Onceagain rural South Dakota schoolswill loose out!

Medicaid is made up of a verycomplex funding formula, this for-mula is made up of state dollarsand federal dollars, any changesto this program involves approvalfrom Washington DC. Should Ini-tiated Measure #15 pass, there isa great chance this money will notbe able to be spent on Medicaidproviders. This money would besitting in State Trust Funds wait-ing to be distributed until Wash-ington DC gives approval. Mostlikely, only the interest will beable to be used from these trustfunds. This is not prudent finan-cial management of your tax dol-lars.

Yes, schools and Medicaidproviders were cut by $77 millionin 2011. However, they have al-ready had $18 million restoredduring the 2012 legislative ses-sion. That leaves $59 million notyet restored. But, under InitiatedMeasure # 15, schools and Medi-caid providers would receive $180million to replace the remaining$59 million.

The state finished the budgetyear June 30th, 2012 with $48million in unexpected revenue.Schools and Medicaid providerswill have the option during the

2013 legislative session to seeksome or all of that money in Jan-uary. They will have the ability toask for their cuts to be restored,instead of raising your taxes.

Currently we have a drought inSouth Dakota and many uncer-tainties about federal funding.Those problems are good reasonswhy we should NOT increasetaxes by $180 million on ourselvesand give all of the $180 million tojust two groups. The problems weface and priorities for spendingcan change from year to year.This is why we elect a legislatureand a Governor. It is their job tomake those tough decisions onspending and cutting, and to anunderstanding of these complexfunding formulas.

Please vote NO on InitiativeMeasure # 15.

Letter to the EditorThe U.S. Department of Agri-

culture's (USDA) efforts to helpproducers rebound from droughthave touched more than one mil-lion acres of farmland across thecountry as nearly 2,000 producerstook advantage of conservationfunding targeted to drought-stricken areas by USDA's Natu-ral Resources ConservationService (NRCS). NRCS mademore than $27 million availableto farmers and ranchers to makeconservation improvements,spurring recovery and ensuringlands are more drought resistantin the future.

"This tremendous response re-flects the severity of this year'sdrought conditions, "AgricultureSecretary Vilsack said."The levelof producer participation is also atestament to the hard work ofUSDA and other federal agenciesto help farmers and ranchers

weather one of the worstdroughts in decades."

NRCS provided financial andtechnical assistance to help cropand livestock producers in 22states apply conservation prac-tices, including conservationtillage, cover crops, nutrient man-agement, prescribed grazing, live-stock watering facilities andwater conservation practices.These actions build healthier soilthat lead to better harvests andcleaner water and air.

"The conservation investmentsmade by these producers todaywill continue to improve the re-silience of their lands in the faceof drought as well as other natu-ral events that are out of theircontrol," Vilsack said. "The farm-ers and ranchers that have volun-tarily implemented conservationimprovements have taken an im-portant step toward building

drought resistance into their op-erations."

Exceptional drought continuesto dominate sections of Arkansas,Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas,Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska,New Mexico, Oklahoma, SouthDakota, Tennessee, Texas andWyoming, causing widespreadlosses of crops and pastures andwater shortages in reservoirs,streams and wells.

Alabama, Illinois, Indiana,Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada,South Carolina and Utah areunder extreme drought, with ac-companying major losses of cropsand pasture, widespread watershortages and restrictions onwater use.

See the total NRCS droughtassistance received by each state.Producers and landowners areencouraged to visit the NRCSwebsite or stop by their localNRCS office to find out if they areeligible for drought assistance.

Exercise in Democracy Throughout our history, young

men and women have answeredthe call of their country to defendliberty and the freedoms weenjoy. They have served withinour borders and around the worldin the name of democracy and jus-tice. Soon, we will all have the op-portunity to exercise one of thegreatest civic responsibilities re-sulting from those efforts – theright of every man and woman tovote.

As someone who has beenthrough the process of placing myname on a ballot and askingSouth Dakotans for their vote, Iknow firsthand how seriously res-

idents of this state take theirvote, and we should. Aftermonths of commercials, mailers,yard signs, and advertisements,Election Day is almost upon us.Whether you are someone who re-quests your ballot and votes earlyor someone who enjoys the rou-tine of going to your precinctpolling place, maybe even withyour spouse or children, it is im-portant to make your voice heard.

In South Dakota, every voterhas an opportunity to interactwith the people they are decidingbetween and we have an opportu-nity to put forward issues impor-tant to us on the ballot.

Sen. John Thune’s

Weekly Column

Democracy is alive and strong inSouth Dakota, but only when weall take the opportunity to makeour voices heard.

I have had the chance to talk toIraqis who cast their first ballotand the pride and excitementthey have for this right that wemay tend to take for granted.Sometimes, it is easy to forgethow fortunate we are in thiscountry, even with the politicaland issue signs and advertise-ments around every corner, liter-ally.

Being entrusted with your voteand representing you in the U.S.Senate is a privilege I enjoy,thanks to those who keep us safe.Thank you to our men and womenin uniform and our veterans forpreserving our democracy so wecan cast our votes on November6th.

Strengthening Homegrown En-ergy

As the drought continuestoday, USDA and other Federalagencies are doing all we can tohelp farmers, ranchers and com-munities who have been im-pacted.

Unfortunately, our tools arelimited. Due to inaction by Con-gress, many parts of the 2008Farm Bill expired October 1, andother aspects of the law will ex-pire in the coming months.

This brings tremendous uncer-tainty for rural families – partic-ularly livestock producers whohave lost access to disaster pro-grams, and dairy producers whono longer have access to dairysupport programs.

The lack of a Food, Farm andJobs Bill also limits USDA fromcontinuing our record invest-ments in homegrown Americanenergy. Since 2009 USDA hasworked hard to ensure that ruralAmerica plays a key role in ournation’s energy strategy.

For example, we’ve invested inmore than 330 bioenergy projects,strengthening biofuels productionacross America. Ethanol alonesupports nearly 400,000 Ameri-can jobs, while reducing the priceof gas by more than one dollar pergallon for American families.

We’ve helped grow America’scapacity for creating advancedbiofuels from non-food, non-feedsources. Since 2009 USDA has in-vested in historic efforts to createnine new, advanced biofuels re-fineries. Meanwhile, we haveadded new income sources forfarmers – providing incentives togrow advanced feedstocks onnearly 60,000 acres.

Finally, USDA has undertakengroundbreaking research that’snecessary to expand our home-grown energy capacity.

Last year we established fiveresearch centers across Americato enhance research and coordi-nation in the development of newbiofuels technologies. Just last

week, USDA announced a sixthsuch effort, providing support forresearchers across the northeastUnited States to undertake addi-tional biofuels research.

USDA has invested more than$320 million to accelerate re-search into the new technologiesassociated with advanced biofu-els. And in partnership with theU.S. Navy and the Department ofEnergy, we are making an his-toric investment of more than$510 million to develop advancedbiofuels for military ships and air-craft. In fact, just recently, shipsand aircraft of the Navy’s “GreatGreen Fleet” conducted opera-tions off the coast of Hawaii using

Ag Secretary Vilsack’s Column

advanced marine and aviationbiofuels.

We’re proud of where we standtoday. In 2011 America importedabout 45 percent of our oil fromforeign countries – down frommore than 60 percent in 2005.Our nation’s growing biofuels in-dustry played a key role in thatprogress.

But there’s much left to bedone. I know that given the toolsto succeed, USDA can continue tobring down gas prices for fami-lies. We can further strengthenAmerica’s energy security. Andwe can support more good jobs inour small towns and rural com-munities.

USDA Announces Supplemen-tal Revenue Assistance Pay-ments Sign-Up Period for2011 Crop Losses Begins Octo-ber 22, 2012 and ends June 7,2013

The sign-up period for the 2011crop year Supplemental RevenueAssistance Payments (SURE)program will open Oct. 22, 2012.The SURE program is part of theFood, Conservation, and EnergyAct of 2008 (Farm Bill). Underthe 2008 Farm Bill, SURE au-thorizes assistance to farmersand ranchers who suffered croplosses caused by natural disastersoccurring through Sept. 30, 2011.

“Any eligible producer who suf-fered losses during the 2011 cropyear is encouraged to visit a localFSA office to learn more aboutthe SURE program and how toapply.

As of Sept. 30, 2011, the De-

partment’s authority to operatethe SURE program expired alongwith four other, important disas-ter assistance programs: the Live-stock Indemnity Program (LIP);the Emergency Assistance forLivestock, Honey Bees, andFarm-Raised Fish (ELAP); theLivestock Forage Disaster Pro-gram (LFP); and the Tree Assis-tance Program (TAP). Productionlosses due to disasters occurringafter Sept. 30, 2011, are not eligi-ble for disaster program coverage.

To be eligible for SURE, a farmor ranch must have:

•At least a 10-percent produc-tion loss on a crop of economic sig-nificance;

•A policy or plan of insuranceunder the Federal Crop Insur-ance Act or the Noninsured CropDisaster Assistance Program(NAP) for all economically signif-icant crops;

•Been physically located in acounty that was declared a pri-mary disaster county or contigu-ous county by the Secretary of

Agriculture under a SecretarialDisaster Designation. Without aSecretarial Disaster Designation,individual producers may be eli-gible if the actual production onthe farm is less than 50 percent ofthe normal production on thefarm due to a natural disaster. A“farm” for SURE purposes meansthe entirety of all crop acreage inall counties that a producerplanted or intended to be plantedfor harvest for normal commercialsale or on-farm livestock feeding,including native and improvedgrassland intended for haying.

Producers considered sociallydisadvantaged, a beginningfarmer or rancher, or a limited re-source farmer may be eligible forSURE without a policy or plan ofinsurance or NAP coverage.

Farmers and ranchers inter-ested in signing up must do so be-fore the June 7, 2013 deadline.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard has ex-tended an Executive Order tohaul over-width baled livestockfeed until Dec. 21, 2012, in SouthDakota.

The Executive Order statesthat, upon receipt of a permit,permission is granted to moveover-width baled livestock feednot exceeding 12-feet-wide or 15-feet-high for two hours after sun-set and two hours before sunrise.The order allows movement ofover-width baled livestock feeduntil cessation of the droughtemergency, or no later than Dec.21.

Over-width vehicles must beequipped with flashing or rotat-ing white or amber warninglights on each side of the load’swidest extremity. The warninglights must be clearly visible tomotorists approaching from thefront and rear. Movement underthe Executive Order is valid onlyfor baled livestock feed.

“This year’s persistent droughtconditions have left livestock pro-ducers across South Dakota withinadequate feed supplies,” saidSouth Dakota Secretary of Agri-culture Walt Bones. “Increasinghauling height and width restric-

tions for baled hay will allow pro-ducers to move feed in a more ef-ficient manner.”

The normal size restriction onSouth Dakota highway loads is14-feet, 3-inches high and 8-feet,6-inches wide.

Although height and width re-strictions for baled livestock feedhave been temporarily increasedby Executive Order, several high-ways in the state have width andheight restrictions in place be-cause of construction or perma-nent structures that cannotaccommodate such large loads.Truckers are encouraged to checktheir routes ahead of time forthose restrictions.

For information on permits,contact a South Dakota port ofentry or call 800-637-3255.

to the extension of the culvert for GregFisher’s would possibly make the waterbecome more of a problem for neigh-bors. Greg Fisher asked the council ifthey would provide the equipment andlabor to install the culverts. Greg feltsome of the issue of so much drainageis since curb and gutter has been in-stalled sending more water to the area.Some of the Councilman felt it wouldtake too much of the guys’ time whichGreg Fisher felt it should only take onehalf of a day or a little longer. MayorHaines stated he felt it would take longerthan that and asked Greg if he hadchecked with any contractors to do thejob. A few Councilman felt our guys hada lot to get done for winter and that thereisn’t time right now. Some Councilmanfelt we have cleaned up other lots intown and would like to help Greg out.After this discussion, Greg Fisher statedto the Council he would just do it on hisown and didn’t mean to create such aproblem and thanked the Councilman fortheir time and their time they took to lookover the situation.

Savings Account Discussion:Since it was brought up at the Budget

discussion on police car and ambulance,the City needs to be preparing for the up-coming purchases by putting back moremoney.

Then for the ambulance Cap-ital Outlay transfer which is currently$250 a month and $20 per run, changeto $750 a month and $20 per run. Coun-cil agrees and Debbie Brown will haveon the next agenda.

pal League Convention that it is not agood idea to leave a truck or any CityEquipment on someone else’s propertyas we do with the City truck. Councilagreed to not rent out the City truck asthere are others around people can rent.

nicipal League Convention of a codebook that can be referred to for itemsneeding done that can work with our or-dinances. Eric Bogue will look it overalso.
