Geneva City Council

The Geneva City Council gathered round on October 11 for their monthly meeting. All councilmen were present except Taff Worrell.
Mayor Steve Bailey called the meeting to order. Only a minute later, Janell Tufte made a motion to approve minutes, financial report and bills payable. Rick Weckwerth seconded and the motion carried.
Immediately thereafter, late items were discussed. Tufte made the council aware of two light poles out by Wildview. Bailey has already acquired their Alliant representative’s contact information and will call him very soon.
Weckwerth then inquired if Steele-Waseca Cooperative had contacted anyone as of late. According to City Clerk, Nancy Cornelius, the cooperative is still in discussion about the matter.
When on the phone with one of their representatives, Cornelius told them, “The ball is in your court. You have to decide if you think it’s going to be worth your while to run the lines out here.”
Bailey chimed in and said that Alliant representative, Bob Danner, has called him a few times wondering whether the City of Geneva plans to sign with them again. Bailey had no update for Danner at that time.
Cornelius concluded the matter by saying, “Steele-Waseca told us by this spring that they would be ready for us. Now they say by this fall. Since we haven’t heard anything from them for about three months, I bet they kind of decided on not going forward.”
Their next meeting will be held November 8 at 7 p.m. in the Geneva Community Center.
