Sheriff Dunbar was present to receive
comments.
Claudia Bishop of the Wellman Ambulance Service spoke on behalf of the group in regards to a request from them for assistance from the City to help fund a new ambulance unit. She read a report of their services and operations which is attached to these minutes. Several members of the crew were present. Bishop noted they would be asking the public for donations to help with this project. Goodrich stated the council had approved paying out the $25,000 over a three or four-year period. Mayor Lewis stated it was part of the budget just approved but the city would have to receive enough funds in order to be able to pay it out, noting other departments in need. Bishop further discussed some of the services and funding for the ambulance service and introduced those members present at the meeting.
Ryan Miller of the Wellman Area Foundation
was present to report on the recently awarded CDBG grant for a daycare center.
WAF will ask ECICOG, who wrote the grant, to do the paperwork with the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources to get the land at
Mayor Lewis asked for a report from Juanita Seward on the Parks & Recreation Board meeting. She stated the skating rink is doing well and the board went on record opposing establishing a board to oversee the rink operations. The Parks & Recreation Board had recommended hiring Teresa Lampe as director and as such she should answer to James Miller, Board President.
Resolution No. 05-09 was introduced and caused to be read to award contract to LL Pellling for the 9th Avenue Street Improvements Project. Oldfield moved to adopt Resolution No. 05-09, Kisner seconded and upon roll call all members voted aye.
Mayor Lewis
reported a faxed copy of the contract and bond had been reviewed by the City
Attorney and approved. Because the originals were not available Resolution No.

In the matter of the fire siren repair, the siren has not been removed as yet so no estimated costs are available. Seward reported the siren is probably forty years or older and the one on the water tower is even older.
Mayor Lewis talked with the Washington County Minibus Director who couldnt attend tonights meeting. She asked to be on the next agenda to present her views. Goodrich reported the Senior Center Commission met with her and she indicated she was not interested in serving Wellman as the riders and contributions did not provide enough funding to make it worthwhile. This will be further discussed at the next meeting.
In projects for the City Attorney, Kitchen reported the administrative building for Mid-Prairie on the south side of Highway 22 being annexed has not been a high priority. The north side has been completed but property issues for the Highway 22 portion to reach the M-P offices have prevented this annexation. He will look further into it if the City wishes to continue with this annexation.
In the matter of the shallow well transfer to Mid-Prairie for the soccer field, Kitchen will look into the legal paperwork to complete this.

property,
In general administrative discussion,
Seward suggested the City issue a proclamation on behalf of the
Goodrich
took issue with the Mayors comments on funding the ambulance as he (Mayor
Lewis) referred to the need to fund the skating rink also. Goodrich stated the
rink is generating its own funds and we should not be concerned about funding
the rink. He stated he wanted it known that he was pleased with the Summer
Recreation Program being run by
Swartzendruber agreed with Goodrichs comments on the Summer Recreation Program.
Oldfield commented on the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting held recently and although there were four issues, only one person, a representative from Habitat for Humanity, showed up for the meeting. He asked that if requests are made of the Commission, those persons should appear to discuss their issues.
There were no comments in the Public Forum
so the Mayor adjourned the meeting. The next regular City Council meeting will
