The Grant City Council, at their regular meeting Thursday, voted to send out letters to taxpayers that the city says owe delinquent taxes. As of June 21st, there were $47,000 in delinquent taxes. Since then, around 3-5 have come in and paid, but there are still many that are in arrears. The city gave 30 days for delinquent accounts to make arrangements to pay before they will proceed with publishing names and further action. Payment plans can be made by office staff as long as taxes are brought current by the end of the year. Extended plans must be requested by the customer at the council meetings.
Pool manager Selina O’Connor reported that 74 have paid for swimming lessons and that water aerobics classes at the pool have started. The new water pump has made things much more convenient, and concessions and pool parties were going well. The city is in the process of getting quotes for dust control along the road that runs by the pool.
Randy Railsback visited the meeting and introduced himself to the Grant City Council. He is one of two Republican candidates for District 2, which serves Worth County. He talked about the $53 million that is coming to the area as opposed to $1-2 million which is normally appropriated by the state. He said that this was the end of his career, not the beginning, and that he would not be beholden to anyone.
City Administrator Meggan Brown reported that the license office has been closed and that the state came recently to remove equipment and supplies. The city is in the process of working on grants for water and wastewater. The city will get answers in October.
