The purpose of the meeting was to discuss City/County matters that need to be cleaned up on the
books and in the minds of the Council and Commissioners.
At the time the county transfer station was built it was thought to be built on county property.
Recently it has been determined that it was actually built on city property. Discussion was how to
handle this matter to avoid any problems in the future. Several options were listed:
1.City deed property to county
2.County buys property
3.City buys transfer station
4.Long term lease
5.Trade property for property
6.Joint Ownership
After reviewing each of the options it was concluded the most viable remaining option would be
the trade of property. The subject property to be traded to the City would be the strip of land
th
owned by Madison County facing 7 South between the armory and the Nielsen farm. The land
measures approximately 100'x300', along with the property on which the city chlorine plant is
located.
Property that would be traded to the County would be the area encompassing the transfer station
and the two south sewage lagoons.
It was determined the property needed to be looked at by all parties and a decision would be
made by the City Council at their next meeting on March 1.

An internet agreement is necessary between the city and county. Marilyn Rasmussen and Richard
Horner will draft this agreement and have it ready for review by the Council and Commissioners
at their next regularly scheduled meeting.
Richard explained the deficit in the budget for the Bike/Jogging Path jointly built by the city and
county which deficit amounts to approximately $12,000.00 each. It was suggested that a
committee be reactivated to discuss a maintenance agreement and determine which entity is
responsible for which part of the path. Jerry will head the committee, Mayor Sutherland
appointed Donna and Paul to serve on that committee as representatives from the City.
At the next City Council meeting Richard will discuss the status of the county garbage fee of
$1000.00.
Meeting was adjourned.
