Grant City Seeking New City Employee; Letters of Violation Sent Out

The City of Grant City is seeking a new city employee, as one employee gave two weeks notice. The city will open a part-time, and possibly a full-time position and advertise it in the papers. The council will hold a special closed meeting on July 8th at 5:30 pm to go over the applicants.

The city sent out new letters of violation to property owners who they say are in violation of city ordinances.

The council approved a building permit for Della Ware to add a shed to her property.

Staton reported that the city needed a new sweeper; the city located one out of Plattsburg for $7,800 with 22,000 miles and 7,231 hours. The city authorized up to $7,000 for a new sweeper.

The council voted to donate $100 to the Worth County Back to School Fair.

The lifeguard ladder was fixed at the pool. The gas department passed state inspection with no negative marks.
