• Anita Lowary was appointed as the single audit accountable official and liaison. The city is going to be audited for the COPS grant program.
• The city will apply for a Community Access Grant for $200,000 to be used to fix Railroad Avenue from the east edge of the city to US 12. There was a proposal that the county may help with the funding of the project which is $290,000 in matching funds. The proposed project would dig out 12 inches, replace the gravel and put a 4 inch asphalt mat down. Clark Engineering also put together a proposal that would widen the road and put rip rap on each side, but that total came to $909,000. There would be a lot of extra red tape to go through if the road was to be widened, including displacement of the wetlands in the area. The council agreed that they would not maintain the road at the $490,000 project, fearing that in a couple of years, the road will break up again. The breach in the golf course holding pond will need to be repaired as well.
• Mike Olson from Aberdeen, was invited to come to Groton to review nuisance property. He has not charged the city for mileage or time, so the council decided to give him an honorarium of $75.
