Members of the Protection
City Council gathered for their
regular monthly meeting Tues-
day of last week.
Before them were a number
of items, none of which took the
council an inordinate amount of
time.
They covered a lot of ground,
and did so quickly, with the bulk
of the meeting time tied up in
hearing reports from employees.
During the meeting, the coun-
cil:
--Voted to approve payment
of monthly bills in the amount
of $31,433.62.

Cathy Smith present the city's
May financial statements.

As for the year-end pur-
chases, items on which decisions
had been postponed until the end
of the year will be considered.
The superintendent said that
most -- if not all -- of those
items would likely be purchased
at the special meeting.
"Our district employees have
been very conservative this year
in regard to purchases," he said,
"so we are going to be in good
shape to make these year-end
purchases."
Other items on the agenda
will include approval of a num-
ber of district handbooks, ap-
proval of a teacher's resignation,
approval of the final bills of the
year, and approval of summer
employment contracts. Also on
the agenda will be the standard
fare of administrative and board
member reports.
