Hills approves crosswalk painting, skid loader purchase

HILLS

The Hills City Council met for their regular meeting on Monday, Aug. 26. The board discussed a few ideas and needs, but most notably made the decision to move the Monday, Oct. 14 regular meeting to Tuesday Oct. 15, due to it being Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

With the closing of Hills Elementary, old yearbooks were found and are currently being kept in storage. The council discussed the possibility of sourcing a bookcase to display the yearbooks at the Community Center for anyone to come in and access.

The board also discussed the purchase of a mower for a skid loader to be used at the waste-water treatment plant. The DNR noted that the area should be mowed more frequently after their evaluation. Board member Matt Pantel was able to find a used skid loader for $3250. The board approved purchase of the used skid loader.

The last item on the agenda was the painting of crosswalks at the Hills school, post office, and by Stutzmans. Board member Guy Sommers suggested “hiring boy scouts with paint brushes” for the task, but ultimately the approved up to $1500 for crosswalk painting.

The Hills City Council will gather for their next meeting on Monday, Sept. 9 in the Hills Community Center at 7p.m.
