New Richland City Council

Ambulance director Chris Schlaak gave a much longer report than usual at Monday’s meeting of the New Richland City Council.
The most interesting part came toward the end.
“I’ve been hearing from people that there are members of the fire department who would like to take us down, to take over the ambulance,” said Schlaak.
“I’ve been with the fire department for 30 years, and I’ve never heard anything,” said mayor Mike Shurson.
Schlaak’s next point dealt with the ambulance service’s value to the community.
“I’ve been told by two auditors that the ambulance benefits this town,” she said. “But I’m constantly hearing we’re losing money. It just doesn’t make sense.”
“So this is hearsay?” said the mayor. “I wonder where these stories are coming from.”
“Me too,” said Schlaak.
Her other question dealt with the budget.

Ellendale City Council

There was a lot on the agenda for the Ellendale City Council Oct. 10.
But they took some time to hear from a community member first.
A frustrated Marie Jorissen was there to talk about a couple things.
“Who is the insurance company for the people doing the street?” asked Jorissen, who found a dark, sticky substance on her car, something that resembles tree sap, but there are no trees around.
Jorissen’s other question was about her house, which she bought in 2013, but has since been assessed taxes for 2011.
“I’m looking for a resolution or I’ll be at every city council meeting,” said Jorissen.
No action was taken on either issue.
Council members Scott Groth and Duane Goebel were there, along with mayor Russ Goette and fire chief Logan Busho. Assistant city clerk Kim Zimprich filled in until city clerk Tiffany Krueger got there. Council members Steve Engel and Steph Kibler were absent. Jorissen and Dan Petsinger were the visitors.
