Garden City Council update

 At the  Garden City Council meeting in September, Council Member  Ken Hansen suggested that the city create an ordinance for peaceful protests. He feels that the city should have something on record allowing peaceful protests so that protests  can be regulated.

The Council suggested creating an area for peaceful protests. They will look at other cities to see what they have done. 

Hansen would also like to do a recognition for the Emergency Services for Rich County. Mayor Leonhardt said that emergency services need to be our priority right now. Mayor Leonhardt said that he is still working with the Sheriff to get the cooperative agreement completed. We need to be on the forefront to help with the EMS.

Hansen said that we need to be aware of the need for employee housing. Mark Smoot, Chamber president, said that he is looking into employee housing and what can be done.

Council Member Nate Parry said that we need a new sand filter for the pool. He said it will cost approximately $1200. Council Member Parry said that Ecolab is working great and the pool is doing great.

Council Member Pat Argyle talked to Smoot about the Chamber doing the fireworks for Raspberry Days next year.

Argyle said that we need to get some new Christmas decorations. The Council discussed what we need in town and agreed that we need to purchase new decorations.
