Preliminary work is being finalized. EXCEL is hoping to go to bids for the construction of eight duplex units and begin construction this Fall.

The build date for the 2023 Ford Explorer Police Cruiser for the Falls City Police Department continues to be delayed. A new, 2022 Explorer became available and the department purchased it in lie of the 2023 model as it was immediately available and at a cost of about $6 thousand less than the 2023 model.

The new unit is being outfitted and should be put into duty in May. The vehicle is covered by the 2023 USDA Grant.

Roof replacement work is underway on a 2022 insurance claim for damage at Grandview Park, The Aquatic Center, City Hall, the house at the airport and the hangar.

Nussbaum also reported that Head Librarian Hope Schawang will be retiring in the near future after 36 years with the library.

The Library Board has recommended promoting Allie McCann to the Head Librarian position and hiring a new Children's Librarian.
