They would like the city to consider an incentive for potential businesses that come to town. The have a Facebook page they are still working on. The goal of the page is to let others know about Chenoa and be a guide to businesses that want to come to town. They would like to join it with the city website. They feel the city website needs to be looked at and updated. She said that Scott will no longer be on the committee because he is moving. They would like the council to appoint a new member.

Commissioner Reinhart said the new hire, Thomas, for the sewer plant is working well so far. He said on December 17 they made a Facebook post about rags and bicycle tubing blocking the sewer lines. They have found that the rags are disposable wipes. He asked the community to be more mindful of what and how much they put in the sewer system. He has looked at a rake that cost about $5,800 to stop the items and keep them from damaging equipment and flow into the pond. He said the water plant’s high-pressure pump needs to be replaced. He said with the post card billing we will be mailing the shut off notices separately.
Commissioner Price the City stopped picking leaves up in December and people are still wanting them picked up. He said there are free bags available at City Hall, which makes it much easier for the guys to pick up.
