Murphy Helwig Library receives accreditation from State Library of Iowa The State Library of Iowa has announced that Murphy Helwig Library has met the conditions for state accreditation as outlined in “In Service to Iowa: Public Library Standards Sixth Edition.”

Achieving accreditation requires a significant, ongoing local commitment to high quality library services. Murphy Helwig Library has been recognized for its efforts in all areas of library operations including governance and funding, staffing, library collection, services, public relations, access, and facilities. The accreditation is valid through June 30, 2020.

“The director and board of trustees of Murphy Helwig Library and the City of Monona are to be commended for this achievement and their commitment to excellence in public library services for their community,” said State Librarian Michael Scott.

Of Iowa’s 544 public libraries, 349 – including Murphy Helwig Libary – are accredited. Iowa’s accredited public libraries are recognized for being responsive to their communities and for exhibiting excellence in their

provision of library services. More than two-thirds of all Iowans have active public library cards. Iowa libraries play key roles in workforce and economic development, lifelong learning and e-government activities. Iowans use their libraries to find jobs, do homework, locate a good book to read, research medical conditions, access government information, and more.

Accredited libraries receive a higher rate of compensation through the State Library’s Enrich Iowa program. They also receive a Certificate of Accreditation signed

by Governor Terry Branstad, Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds, State Librarian Michael Scott, and Iowa Commission of Libraries Chairperson Dale Vande Haar.

For more information on Murphy Helwig Library go to www.monona. lib.ia.us.

For more information on the State Library’s accreditation program, and to view the Public Library Standards, go to www. statelibraryofiowa.org/ld/a-b/ accr-and-standards <http://www. statelibraryofiowa.org/ld/a-b/accrand-standards> .taion

Fran Passmore took the oath of office once again and is the new mayor of Monona, until the next election cycle, which begins in November of next year. Passmore was the mayor prior to Barb Collins.

Passmore submitted a letter of interest to the council stating that she would fill the position until the term ended.

The sewer project has been extended until October 21 at the request of Eastern Iowa Excavating & Concrete, LLC. The reason for the extension was due to work not having been started yet by Municipal Pipe Tool Co., LLC, contractors working for Eastern Iowa Excavating. August 8 was the original start date and work was supposed to be completed

by October 2, however work has not been started yet by Municipal. Municipal Pipe Tool Co. is contracted to do the lining of the sewers while Eastern Iowa Excavating will do any construction needed for the project. One of the set backs in the project is some manholes were too small to fit equipment down, so they had to be increased in diameter. A more recent problem has been the excess of rain.

There is a sense of urgency, due to the fact that the Department of Natural Resources will fine the city of Monona if the sewers have not been finished by November 1. The extension granted would be the final one given. If the new deadline is not met, all fines and damages

will revert back to October 2. If that does happen, then the company will be charged $1200 a day until completion.

The restoration of the park bandstand is starting to take form with donations being about $1000. There is a want to form a committee, which would handle investigations into cost and what exactly needs to be done. The Council decided to try to involve the chamber of commerce with having a part of the committee.

Black Hills Energy said they would donate $500 towards the hotel feasibility study. Currently, there are four possible offers for the study to be done. The council is still considering outside help with paying for the phase I fee of the study.

Dollar General Store has sent all the proper paperwork to the city of Monona and the planning and zoning commission will set up a public hearing about the store. The Dollar General store will only proceed if the zoning commission and public can agree on the store’s plans. The planning and zoning commission will set a public hearing date for the week of October 3.

The People Service report was given. The main topic was that the amount of rain has caused excess water in certain areas meaning bypassing might be needed. The water table is already very high and it might be hard to keep up with more rainfall.

The Monona Community center may be in need of a new fire alarm system. Over the summer, there

Fran Passmore had been many false alarms due to the system being faulty. There will be an attempt to clean the sensors in hopes that might fix the problem. Tyco Simplex Grinnell has been contacted to help with troubleshooting the problem.

Police Chief Jo Amsden gave the monthly report. Besides the usual animal calls, which included Amsden discharging a firearm, the town has been normal. The new speed monitoring sign has been ordered and should arrive soon.The Monona Police department received two new bulletproof vests. Vest need to be replaced every five years, according to Amsden.

Veteran receives kidney from stepdaughter

Nolan POrter

Outlook Editor Shane Studt, 36 years old and a 17year veteran, went to the Veterans Affair hospital to get a physical for a job.

Something seemed wrong but the doctors at the VA said nothing of it. Shane decided to get a second opinion after having some issues and he was told he had stage fivekidney failure. When VA doctors saw him, he was at stage three, but was never told.

His doctor said he needed to have a kidney transplant. His stepdaughter, Cori Hundt, was ready to volunteer. However, she was pregnant with her son, Max. The doctors said she had to wait six months after pregnancy before she could be tested. Shane lived in Florida and that was where she had to go to get tested. Cori and her husband Joshua just moved to Cedar Falls after living in Colorado.

Six months after Max was born, Cori got tested and then had to wait for the phone call.

“I was waiting to get the call back saying ‘no, sorry,’” Cori said.

The phone call did come, but the news was that she was a positive match to her stepfather, Shane. Cori was shocked and cried on the phone to the nurse. Shane took the news the same. Both were crying because they knew what was to come next.

Hope was rekindled.

Lady Luck Casino bought out Nolan Porter

OUtlook Editor The Eldorado Resorts, based out of Reno, bought out the Lady Luck Casino boat in Marquette on Monday, Sep. 19, 2016. The Missouri-based company Isle of Capri Casinos, which owned Lady

Luck, was bought for $1.7 billion in cash and stock assets. This includes the $929 million debt that Isle of Capri had accumulated. Lady Luck is one of 14 total casinos that were owned by Isle.

Eldorado Resorts already owns seven casinos across the nation and the additional casinos bought

will bring their total up to 20 in 10 states. The acquisition will add more than 560 game tables, over 20,800 slot machines and 6500 hotel rooms to Eldorado’s collection.

The Lady Luck Casino is one of three Iowa casinos owned by Isle of Capri. The merger will have to be approved by stockholders in 2017.

Congressman Rod Blum announced that he has requested that President Obama grant Governor Terry Branstad’s request for a Presidential Disaster Declaration in response to the damage caused by heavy rains and flooding in Northeast Iowa between August 23rd & 27th.

“Due to the significant damage suffered by Northeast Iowa from this flooding, I fully support Governor Branstad’s decision to request immediate federal assistance as families and businesses work to recover from this disaster,” said Congressman Blum. “With six of the eight affected counties being located in the First Congressional District, I urge President Obama to act swiftly to issue a presidential declaration of a major disaster in response to this flooding.”

Assistance Program, which is used to rebuild damaged infrastructure that may include roads, bridges, culverts and other public facilities, or to cover costs of emergency work during, and debris removal after, the storms. A joint federal, state, and local preliminary damage assessment of the eight counties found the severe weather caused an estimated $4.8 million worth of damage that could be eligible under the Public Assistance Program.

From August 23-27, severe weather in NE Iowa caused significant damage to public infrastructure and private property in Allamakee, Chickasaw, Clayton, Fayette, Floyd, Howard, Mitchell, and Winneshiek counties.

Rod Blum is the Republican Congressman in Iowa’s 1st District.

He is a member of the Budget and Oversight & Government Reform Committees.

kidney donation from front The operation will have taken place on Tuesday, Sep. 27. Cori will have to deal with the standard post operation follow-ups but those won’t stop after a year. Once a year, for the rest of her life, Cori will have to have a check up to see how she is doing. Even though she is losing an entire kidney, the doctors told her that she would still have 80 percent kidney function.

Cori is 25 years old and that means the recovery will be a lot easier for her.

Not only has Cori made the decision to help Shane, family members and friends have pitched in to help with bills. Even “complete strangers,” according to Cori, have offered to help. A GoFundMe page was set up to help with cost.

Currently $4515 has been donated.

Shane currently lives in Tallahassee and the operation was done in Gainesville, FL.

McGregor Council receives feasibility study for cleaning up the properties.

Council members voted to direct the attorney to prepare follow up letters to the properties that he had sent nuisance letters to giving the property owners a completion date and requesting a timeline for completion of various parts of the nuisances.

A request for consent to establish a new urban renewal district in the Breezy Pointe Sub-division was considered. The request is required for development within the twomile boundary of the city. The council voted to give consent for the urban renewal district.

Following recent blockages of railroad crossings by standing trains, Administrator Sander sent an email to a railroad employee who supervises the railroad police.

The response received requested that those who witness the blockage contact the phone number listed at the crossing providing the crossing number, engine number if possible, and time and duration of the blockage. This will help to resolve the situation.

The council discussed problems with the parking areas around Gazebo Park that are being used to park trucks and trailers not leaving parking space for park users. They reviewed code sections 69.11 and 69.10 for potential modifications or to determine if the ordinance is adequate but is not being enforced by the police department. The clerk will discuss further with the city attorney and will either bring an ordinance revision to the next meeting or will make the police department aware of the situation and request that citations be issued.

The council was provided with sample ordinances for a city deer hunt. Pikes Peak has not committed to re-establishing a managed hunt on their property.

The council concurred that it would not be effective to have a hunt in McGregor if the state ground was not also included. They directed the clerk to email Rylan Rettalick informing him that the city would not establish a hunt until such a time as the state ground is opened for a managed hunt.

Council members discussed a cost estimate for treating seven ash trees for emerald ash borer. Six of

At its regular meeting on September 21, the McGregor city Council received the final hotel feasibility study. The report concluded that construction of a mid-scale quality, 40-50 room hotel would be economically feasible. A hotel on the river would attract more destination travelers and would benefit the community with increased tourism.

Members of the Mar-Mac Rescue Squad were present to request assistance towards the purchase of training simulators. The request was for $1,045.88, which is half of the total cost. Council members voted to approve the request.

The council voted to go into closed session pursuant to Iowa Code section 21.5(c) to discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation where disclosure would be likely to prejudice or disadvantage the position of the governmental body in litigation. The council entered closed session at 6:40 p.m. and reentered open session at 7:11 p.m.

Council members reviewed a request from Steve’ s Silver Dollar for a temporary use permit for the smoking area and trash receptacle enclosure located on the small parking lot east of his building. The one-time fee for reimbursement of attorney fees, administrative time and recording fees is $225. The council discussed the condition in the permit that requires the front door be used as a fire exit only. There was disagreement as to this condition being left in. Carroll moved, seconded

by Echard to grant the permit for the temporary use area, the annual fee being $100, the prorated first year fee being $75 and the language regarding the front door to remain in the permit. The roll call vote was ayes – Carroll, Echard, Halvorson and nays – Hallberg and Muehlbauer.

Mayor Brooks stated that the owner may come back to the council to request deletion of the requirement to use the side door as the entrance to the business if he finds this to be a hindrance to his business.

The council discussed the status of the nuisance abatements that had received letters from the attorney.

Some work has been completed.

However, there are still many areas that show little progress. A response is requested that provides a timeline

the trees are located in city parks and one is located in the boulevard on Ann St. The council voted to contract with EAB Consultants LLC to treat six trees located in the parks, but not the boulevard tree in the amount of $574.

Quotes came from John Deere, Bob Cat and Caterpillar. The 2007 NH skid, 2012 NH tractor and Kuhn Krause mower were considered for trade against the new skid. The rough mowing cost estimate of $1,700 was given to do all of the dams and several other areas of minimal mowing if the mower is traded. The council voted to purchase the new 2015 Bob Cat S650 T4 with bucket for $58,367.00 less trade in of $55,867 making the cost $2,500.

Asphalt quote from River City paving for six patches was considered. Two patches will be billed to MMU for water related work. One patch is being reviewed for possible inclusion in the FEMA project. Council members voted to approve a not to exceed estimate for $7,042.60 with west main and rest room patches billed to the utility.

The council also approved: • Contract with HR Green for engineering the 4th St. bridge and A St. inlet projects for an amount not to exceed $50,000.

• Pay Request #6 FEMA Storm water control project – Pirc Tobin $583,901.80.

• Guote for window replacement at the library in the amount of $5,072.

Mayor Brooks gave the following report: He is awaiting a response from Charlie Zahn regarding the potential to cross train the public works employees to be able to handle the water operations when the current operator retires. The mayor asked about trimming trees and shrubs below his house that extend into the traveled portion of the street. The clerk will review the ordinance and look at the items in question to determine the next step.

Councilman Echard noted the recent heavy rain has eroded an area on A Street where it dumps into the storm sewer. He asked that council look at the two no parking spots on A St. near the Frater building requested they be removed.

Both are located in front of the parking area of the Frater building and if parking is allowed on both spots there would be no access to the building parking. Council will look at before next meeting. He expressed concern about the empty buildings on Main Street.

Council woman Hallberg announced two upcoming Turner Park fundraising activities. On November 12th a chili cook-off will be held at the Methodist Church and on December 3, a tour of homes will be held in conjunction with the festival of trees.

The clerks informed the council that the city was represented by four people at the Preservation Summit.

CDBG monitoring visit has been completed with no issues. She also said that HR Green engineers will be here next week to meet to discuss options to alleviate the issues that continue on Ash St. where construction had taken place in the FEMA project.

Luana Savings Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Casual Fridays for a Good Cause

Pictured are Luana Savings Bank staff members with Luana Fire Chief Lonnie Baade.

If you visit Luana Savings Bank on a Friday you may notice the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Casual Fridayâ&#x20AC;? apparel worn by employees. When Luana Savings Bank first began a casual dress day the employees chose to start a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeans Fundâ&#x20AC;? where each employee donates $1 for every Friday they choose to wear jeans. A few times a year employees total their donations and vote on a community initiative or organization to which they donate the funds.

This week staff donated $1400 between two local projects. The Luana Fire Department Building Fund and the Old School Rec Raise-the-Roof Fund both received $700 each in donations from 26 employees at Luana Savings Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Luana office. These centers are non-profit organizations operating out of Luana, but serve many other communities and people beyond Luanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city limits.

Bank employees have made their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeans Fundâ&#x20AC;? donation an ongoing tradition and say they are happy to continue supporting local projects that bring so much value to the community.

OUTLOOK EDITOR When Noraline Lamborn was born, the doctor told her father â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother to dress her; she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to liveâ&#x20AC;? being as she weighed only 3 pounds. However at the age of 93, Noraline is happy to be alive.

Right after she was born, her mother put her in a shoebox and would let her get warm by opening up the oven. Noraline was born on a farm near Guttenberg where she lived for 11 years. She had a brother and a sister. She attended a small, one room school. She had to walk two miles to get to school. Once in a while the school superintendent would stop by and see how the class was doing.

At age 11, she moved to a farm outside Elkader. Noraline then moved to a farm in Luana at 15.

She, like the rest of her family, farmed. She was hired by families in the area to help with the farming.

At the age of 21, she married Lloyd Lamborn in 1944. Noraline spent most of her time staying at home and raising her family. She had five children: four daughters and one son. She would tend the garden and did housekeeping. Noraline and Lloyd lived on a farm that had been in the Lamborn family for many years. The Lambornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bought the farm from the government and has been farmed for over 150 years.

Noralineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son and grandson live and work on the same farm that her and

Noraline Lamborn her husband did all those years ago.

For Thanksgiving and Christmas, Noraline made homemade pies and had meals that all came from the farm.

Lloyd wanted to slow down and let his son take over most of the farming. They decided they wanted to stay close to the original house.

Noraline and her husband then torn down a house to build a new one on the land that her sons own called Hickory Creek.

Noraline and her husband took trips out West, to Wyoming, because Lloyd loved the West.

They both eventually moved in town in Monona. Lloyd died in December of 2006.

Noraline moved out to Garden View so that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to drive and all her meals were prepared for her. Now she enjoys playing rummy with her friends.

RUFF REPORT Any registered voter in Iowa has the convenient option of voting from the comforts of their kitchen table with a vote by mail request. Voting by mail allows those who may be busy or out of town on Election Day to cast their vote early and to make sure their voice is heard.

Requesting an absentee ballot is easy. Eligible voters can print off the form on the Sectary of State’s website at https://sos.iowa.gov/ elections/pdf/absenteeballotapp. pdf and mail it to their local county auditor. Voters can find the address of their local county auditor at https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/ auditors/auditorslist.html.

Applications for an absentee ballot must be in the county auditor’s office by November 4th.

Ballots are mailed to registered voters who have requested an absentee ballot 40 days before the Election on September 29th. Filled out ballots must be postmarked and mailed back to the county auditor’s office by November 7th.

College students and those attending college next year, will be able to file for free for college financial assistance starting October 1st. The previous start date for the application known as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, was January 1.

The U.S. Department of Education adopted the new start of the application which allows families file the FAFSA earlier and use their last year's tax information.

This would allow the ability for students to have an idea of their financial aid packages earlier in the college application process. Up until now, aid offers generally arrived in mid-spring, about a month before students have to make an enrollment decision.

The governor has signed a letter to be delivered to President Obama requesting a Presidential Disaster Declaration for eight Iowa counties where significant damage was sustained from severe storms and flooding from Aug. 23-27, 2016.

The counties included in this request are: Allamakee, Chickasaw, Clayton, Fayette, Floyd, Howard, Mitchell, and Winneshiek.

The governor requested funding under the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Public Assistance Program, which is used to rebuild damaged infrastructure that may include roads, bridges,

PATTI RUFF

STATE REPRESENTATIVE culverts and other public facilities, or to cover costs of emergency work during, and debris removal after, the storms. A joint federal, state, and local preliminary damage assessment of the eight counties found the severe weather caused an estimated $4.8 million worth of damage that could be eligible under the Public Assistance Program.

The governor also requested funding to conduct hazard mitigation activities for the entire state.

The Individual Assistance Grant Program is administered through the Department of Human Services and allows qualified families to use the money on a variety of items to help with their recovery needs. This is a reimbursement program, so applicants must produce original receipts. For more information about the program and guidelines for qualification, you can call 866-434-4692, or go to http:// www.iowacommunityaction.org to find local assistance. Disaster crisis counseling is available 24/7 through the Iowa Concern Hotline at 800-4471985.

There are a handful of counties whose residents were previously declared eligible to receive assistance through the grant program earlier this summer.

October 10th is the deadline for Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette, and Winneshiek Counties.

The University of Iowa has received a five-year, $3 million National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT)

grant for a Sustainable Water Development graduate program.

The program will begin in the fall of 2017, and train 50 master and doctoral students.

This innovative graduate program will train a new generation of water sustainability professionals to address water, food, and energy challenges facing rural communities, as well as poor urban centers and developing countries.

As archery deer season begins on October 1, now is a good time to remind hunters of the importance of tree stand safety.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) provided the following tips for making your tree stand and hunting trip both safe and successful.

• Three point rule - always have three points of contact to the ladder or steps before moving.

Make sure to check the security of each step before putting any of your weight on it.

• Always wear a safety harness when you are in your tree stand.

• Attach a safety strap to the tree so if you do fall, it won’t be for more than 12 inches.

• Make sure to follow all instructions and directions provided by the manufacturer when setting up your stand.

• Bring devices such as a cell phone, walkie-talkie, whistle and flashlight to the stand with you. Make sure you have them within arm’s reach at all times.

• Tree selection – select a straight tree that is within the size limits recommended in your stand’s directions.

• When bringing up your gear to the stand, make sure to use a haul line and to unload your firearm or bow of all bullets and arrows.

• Never leave the stand in a tree for more than two weeks to prevent damage from changing weather conditions.

• Try to hunt with a buddy. If you do go alone, make sure to let others know your exact hunting location and the time you are planning to return.

Until next week!

CHAMBER COMMUNITY CONNECTION

About three summers ago, I got hired by Hy-Vee to work in the produce department. It was in between college years and it was nice to make a little bit of cash.

After graduating, I went back and was trained to be a cashier, which was the worst job for me to have.

But I would stand at my register and wait for the people to come.

Most of the time, I would get nice people in my line. I even had a few regulars that I got to know.

However, from time to time I would get the people who didn’t get “it”. The “it” being that I was a human, getting paid very little, forced to stand all day and repeat the same lines: “Hello, did you find everything okay?” and “Thank you, have a nice day.” (If you call the office or stop by, I will still repeat those exact words to you) The thing is, that is not too much to ask of someone to say “Hello” and “Thank you”, so I didn’t mind that part of the job. It was the way people looked at me when their coupon was for the other kind of cottage cheese or when I had to call a manager when someone only wanted two items instead of three.

I would have to stop everything so someone could come over and type in his or her password. It was also the way people spoke. If the system was wrong or a discount was not good anymore, I was blamed. My job was to be told where to go and what to do. I was not getting paid to think and I could not explain why five cans of soup did not ring up right.

As I stood in the same spot, day after day, my mind would wander to produce. It was at the very least different. It was hard work, but it was different. I finally got my chance and was able to get scheduled purely in produce. I was very happy. For me, departments were the way to go. You work at your own pace and you get a sense of accomplishment.

Everyday I would go to the back, tear off a piece of cardboard and walk the department, writing down what needed to be put out. I got pretty good at the job.

However, for every five nice customers, there would always be one that had problems that I could not solve. Strawberry season was approaching and as we got a truckload in, the strawberries seemed a bit weak. We had to get rid of some and we were low on them already.

There was one customer who came in everyday looking for strawberries. If we didn’t have any, he would get mad and storm out of the store. I had no control over ordering, let alone growing the strawberries.

What am I rambling about at this point? I am stating that when you go

to the store, be nice to the workers there. They are just like you; they work long days and just want to make a living. They have managers that are on a power trip or do not know what they are doing. The worker is just doing what they are told and must react accordingly.

Now, the worker is still there to serve you. So if they are rude or cannot musters a simple “thank you,” you have the right to get a LITTLE mad. (The key term is little) However, if there is a listeria outbreak and the Dole salads are fairly sparse, it is not the person who stocks the shelves fault. Do not get mad at the worker when the parsley looks like “it had been run over by a truck,” as a customer once told me. Also, do not threaten to shop somewhere else. I didn’t care and neither did my managers when I told them about it.

All I am saying is common courtesy goes a long way, even when you are dealing with the workers at the store you are at. I loved to help people and I enjoyed seeing them happy when I was able to help them. When a customer is nice to the worker, then the worker will try harder to please that customer.

Just because you are at a store and something is wrong, there is no reason to take it out on the worker. If the bananas look a bit bruised, ask nicely if there are more in the back. Don’t say, “these look terrible” and then walk away. No one will check to see if there are better ones if you don’t ask.

A little kindness goes a long way. A happy worker will do everything in their power to help, while one that is belittled will give a half attempt. Just remember that people can make mistakes and it does not help anyone to get mad at a person for something they have no control over. These are just people that need to work to make a living.

Remember, these people are doing their job so that you can get what you want when you shop. So be kind and at least respect the worker for trying.

Petition offered for North Fayette Valley School merger

Rogeta Halvorson Monona Chamber

Equipped with over a dozen 3’ x 4’ design concept boards professionally drawn by landscape architects from J. L. Bruce & Co. from ideas shared by this community, Monona Chamber & Economic Development invites the public to view these final design plans and complete a five-question comment card. The boards contain ways to improve or enhance beautification throughout town, safer sidewalks and crosswalks, wayfinding signage, adding and connecting recreational trails, expanding Gateway Park to a fullservice park, gateway signs at all entries, and much more.

OPINION

The Community Visioning steering committee, made up of 14 members from Monona, and the public have been involved from the beginning ever since Trees Forever’s 2016 transportation enhancement grant program kicked off in Ames last November. We have all gone through a lot of exercises, planning, review and comment periods, and now the year-long program will be coming to its conclusion.

At its next meeting on October 13, the committee will continue to implement planning on the project as a whole. Looking through each individual project, committee members are to think about one or two they are most interested in helping carry through to the completion. Questions to think

about are: How would you describe the project to another resident in town who has not been involved with the planning? How will the site change? What benefits will it bring to residents? Does it make the location safer?

Next steps are for representatives of the committee to attend Trees Forever’s 2017 transportation enhancement grant program kick off in Ames on November 10.

This year the ten 2016 program participants including Monona will be the leaders showing “newbies” to the program what can be done and talk about the wonderful, positive experience it was for the committee and Monona. After that, the committee, chamber, and city of Monona will be looking at

(MPT) to finish CCCP lining of 25,000 L.F. of sanitary sewer pipe. Original project completion date was set for October 2, 2016.

9) Review Cost Estimate for Extending Sanitary Sewer East of Oak St.: Construction of a gravity sanitary sewer extension easterly across Main Street from existing manhole structure located in Oak Street, just west of Main Street, was talked about at previous council meeting. Proposed work would extend sanitary sewer service beyond existing city limits for future connection. A manhole would be placed on the easterly side of Main Street which could be set up for connection from the north or south for additional sanitary sewer extensions. Cost estimate for engineering, construction, permits, project administration and contingencies was provided by Fehr Graham engineer Jon Biederman in amount of $40,461. After brief discussion, it was suggested the city obtain the required DNR permit now even though construction wouldn’t take place until a later date.

It was noted that when time comes for construction the city could obtain price quotes from local contractors and proceed with improvements.

10) Hotel/Motel Feasibility Study: Administrator informed council that Black Hills Energy would be willing to provide $500 toward cost of conducting a Hotel/Motel Feasibility Study for Monona and that Alliant Energy might have community development funds available as well that would require a request through an application process. He further stated that Rand Fischer of Iowa Area Development Group (IADG) provided the name of another consultant that would be willing to submit a proposal for cost of obtaining needed information to determine the feasibility of a hotel in the Monona market. Additional information would be available for next council meeting.

11) Consider Inspection of 1998 Simplex Fire Alarm System in Monona Community Center: Administrator stated that Simplex Fire Alarm System located in Monona Community Center is in need of inspection. He explained the fire alarms have recently been going off prematurely at all hours of day and night. Heat and smoke detectors might need replacing or cleaning along with upgrades to control panel.

Moved by Meyer, seconded by Elledge, to accept proposal from Simplex Grinnell in amount of $542 for performing an inspection of Simplex Fire Alarm System in Monona Community Center. Carried Unanimously.

12) Consider Formation of City Park Bandstand Committee: City administrator indicated that approximately $1,000 has been donated to date for proposed City Park Bandstand Improvements. All monies have been deposited in a separate Monona Chamber & Economic Development (MCED) account at Freedom Bank which is same account that was used for raising money for All-Inclusive Playground at City Park in 2011-2012. He suggested council authorize formation of a Bandstand Committee to proceed with fundraising as well as make specific recommendations to the city for various construction improvements to the Bandstand. It was noted that fund raising activities had been previously authorized through city council resolution in April of 2012 for said Bandstand work, however, fundraising was never actually initiated at that time. Suggestion was made to include a city council member and MCED as part of a committee. Next step is to find additional committee members.

13) Status of REAP Grant Application for Proposed Improvement to City Park: Monona received notification Monday, September 19th that city’s REAP Grant Application for proposed City Park Improvements was not selected as a finalist and would not receive a grant award for 2017. It was noted that 2016 marks third consecutive year a REAP Grant Application for funding proposed City Park Improvements was unsuccessful. Suggestion was made to consider utilizing services of a professional grant writer and/or consider funding improvements to Gateway Park instead. Administrator stated he would report back to council with a recommendation.

14) Brownfields Program ~ Former Interstate Power Co. Building: It appears former Interstate Power Co. building site would be eligible for the Iowa DNR Brownfield Redevelopment and Reuse Program. It was explained that a plan for redevelopment of the existing site, like constructing a public building and removing the dilapidated structure, would need to be submitted to the Iowa DNR. If approved, the DNR could provide technical, environmental and financial assistance for the project. Next step would be to submit a potential redevelopment project to the DNR for consideration.

15) Status of Dollar General Store: The Overland Group recently submitted all required paperwork for requesting a Zoning Change for proposed Dollar General Store to be constructed in Lot 19 of the Gordon Residential Subdivision. Letter of Request along with a Preliminary Site Plan was provided for council review. Next step in the process is for Monona Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission to consider the zoning request by holding a public hearing before submitting a zoning recommendation to the city council. Upon receipt of the P&Z’s recommendation, the city council would subsequently hold another public hearing prior to making a final decision. It was anticipated that P&Z Public Hearing would be held week of October 3, 2016.

16) Approve Appointment to Fill Vacancy of Monona Planning & Zoning Commission: Upon review of written application, it was moved by Koenig, seconded by Bachman, to appoint Lynn Martinson as a member of Monona Planning and Zoning Commission to fill remaining term of former commissioner Scott Torkelson that expires January 2018. Carried Unanimously.

Mayor/Council/Clerk Notes: 2016 Wellmark Community Kickstarter Grant Application was submitted September 16, 2016. Funding in amount of $10,000 for proposed City Park improvements was requested; Results of September 13th Monona Zoning Code Violation Hearing held at Clayton County Courthouse still pending; Bulldog Boulevard street improvement project commenced September 19th.

out. The score was 21-19, Clayton Ridge. The second set was hard fought but the Bulldogs had run out of steam and the scored ended 21-10 Clayton Ridge. The offense was stout and had a tournament high 54 attack attempts and a solid 15 kills.

Bulldog football scored high, but fell short nolan porter

outlook editor The Bulldogs football team travelled to Wartburg to face Lake Mills on Friday, September 23. The game was played at Wartburg so that the teams would find a middle ground to play, instead of travelling far. MFL MarMac was the home team.

The game was a high-scoring shootout with both teams scoring high points. The defense was on their toes the entire game as each team scored numerous touchdowns.

The Bulldog offense put up impressive numbers in the air and on the ground. Senior Bryar Ruff connected with wide receivers eight times for 192 yards and two

touchdowns. Ruff also recorded two rushing touchdowns. Senior Ty Hefner, who led the team with five catches and 176 receiving yards, caught both scoring passes.

The pass game was helped out tremendously by the running game.

Senior Riley Doeppke rushed the ball 18 times for 104 yards.

The defense fought for a combined 41 solo tackles but no sacks and only three tackles for loss. The defense was able to slow the scoring but not able to stop it outright. Junior Mason Hertrampf recorded eight solo tackles while junior Derek Larson had seven.

The final score was 34-26, Lake Mills. The Bulldogs will travel to Belmond-Klemme for their next game.
