6. Officers' Reports
Rationale:
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada reported that city sales tax for December was the highest its ever been. He reported that the utilities office is being renovated, utility bills are once again delayed due to software issues, and that Keno gross sales were up. Mr. Ourada also reported on conversations with the Public Health Solutions regarding re-opening city building. They believe that re-opening on March 24, 2021 with a continuing mask mandate would be prudent as long as covid positive numbers remain at or below their present rates. Returning council meetings to the City Hall Council Chambers could occur beginning April 1, 2021. Mr Ourada further reported that the City is continuing with HR Coordinator interviews and that the City is considering preparing a vacant property ordinance for future council review. City Council Member Ryan Hinz reported that Crete's food distribution services will return to one time per month on the third Tuesday on Doan campus. Mayor Bauer reported that the DTR Committee is putting together packets on the DTR program for distribution and they have identified 15 specific properties that need renovations. Committee members will meet with the fifteen property owners individually to distribute a packet and provide information about the program. There will be a general informational meeting at The 1206 on March 10, 2021 at 5:30pm about the DTR program.
