Also present were city maintenance man Verdeen Backstrom, city auditor Laura Weed, librarian Cathy Burkhardsmeier and Cathy Nord.
Motis moved that the minutes of the January 18 meeting be approved.

A motion was made by Peterson to file the necessary paperwork for vacating the north/south alley located in Block 72. This was approved by a previous council in 1980. The county recorder showed no record of this being filed.
Motis seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
Tom Lang of Otter Tail Power Co. suggested that the city place the new siren in the FSA-Bank Building parking lot. There is already a pole there so all that needs to be done is remove it and install a larger one.

Minnewaukan Fire Department. Motis seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Peterson to approve membership for Weed and Motis in the Municipal Finance Officers Association. Motis seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

Peterson made a motion approving Motis attending Cities Day in Bismarck on February 22, 2005. Motis seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
The council discussed putting a disclaimer on city building permits so the city would not be liable for plumbing and electrical work done on any property. All completed inspection reports must be sent to the city auditor.
Due to the ill health of building inspector Virgil Matthews the council discussed asking Clinton Huffman and Al Staloch if they would be interested in helping the city with building inspections. Weed will speak to both men.
This will be discussed at the March city council meeting.
Backstrom gave his maintenance report.
Peterson reported on the lagoon and seal coat loan balances.
