Little Falls city council 8-3-15

Below is council meeting.

Below is the work session.

I almost fell over when Councilor Frank Gosiak lets the public know at 1hr 6 minutes (of the council meeting), that I asked the city years ago, to filter toxins and sediments from all the stormwater ditches, creeks and any water that enters the Mississippi within city limits. (Especially concerning is the drainage ditch that runs through the Industrial Park on the northwest side of Little Falls and dumps right into the Mississippi, owned by Morrison County but city has a permanent easement and is responsible for its maintenance.) 8-3-15 Little Falls, Mn.

 Interesting to note, also, that the city council can decide who to hire for some services, without letting out for bids.  We can expect ALOT of backscratching between Greg Kimman and his former employer SEH.

The city is facing MILLIONS of $$$ in upgrades to our water plant and also our wastewater treatment plant.

 How many more sweetheart deals will they get from Greg?  Whatever happened to Widseth, Smith and Nolting? City used to hire them alot.

All these improvements are at the same time(in the next few years) that Broadway Avenue(highway 27 downtown businesses will likely have to pay for new sidewalks and curb assessments (2018ish)after city replaces all the pipes under Broadway Avenue and MnDot resurfaces a good stretch of Broadway.

  Where will all this money come from? Council has some tough decisions to make.
