Notice of time and place of the meeting was communicated in the advance notice to the mayor and council.

Present were Mayor Peitz; Councilpersons Addison, Kruse, Christensen, and Bartling; Legal Adviser Pier, City Clerk ~ Treasurer Lenzen, and Deputy Clerk Schaecher.

Mayor Peitz called the meeting to order followed by all present reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. He announced that the open meeting law poster was on the back wall of the council room and reminded all present to silence their cell phones.

A motion to approve the minutes of the June 13, 2016 with a correction suggested by Councilman Kruse that the freon should be reeplaced in the air conditioner instead of air compressor, was made by Addison and seconded by Kruse. A roll call vote was taken. Addison – yes, Kruse – yes, Bartling – yes, and Christensen – yes. Motion carried.

A building permit was submitted and reviewed from Wilfred and Dolores Sorenson for a garage.

In July 2011 the Hartington Economic Development Corporation received a CDBG reuse revolving five year loan in the amount of $15,200.00 to develop land in the industrial site and to create and retain a minimum of one low to moderate income job. The loan was to be forgiven provided the land was developed and the job creation and retention was met. July of 2016 is when the five years would be up and it is being questioned if the loan obligations have been met.

Chris Miller, Chairman of the Hartington Economic Development Corporation, explained that instead of land being developed, Tower Road was built. Tower Road was built by the Cedar County Road Department for an exchange of dirt from the industrial site that the county had a need for. The $15,200.00 is in a Hartington Economic Development account and Mr. Miller says there are plans for it. Mr. Miller stated that documentation would be provided to the city council of the plans to do Tower Road, financial statements as to where the $15,200.00 is being held, and letters of support from Creamer, Heimes, Janssen Auctioneers, Folker’s Brothers Garage, and Northeast Pipe and Panel stating the benefits of Tower Road and business expansions.

The city council will need to make the decision if the loan is to be forgiven.
