A panel consisting of Mayor John Shevlin, Gary Dent and councilman Sandy Syvertson and Gary Brown will conduct interviews this week for a new city attorney.
Three candidates, Shari Gianarelli of Conrad, T. Kai Lee from Cut Bank and William Bronson from Great Falls are seeking the position.
In other news out of the council meeting, it was noted that the Northern Joint Refuse Disposal District feels the city is dumping more refuse than is being assessed.
Mayor Shevlin, who attended a recent refuse meeting, indicated they feel there is a problem with Cut Bank as well.
He added that the, “Assessment is not right and the situation will be studied.”
City trash goes to one container at the roll off site and when full is taken to the landfill and weighed before going into the landfill. “We have a long way to go with this, a lot of studies to be made,” the mayor added.
Wendy Judisch will be out of state on Dec. 3 and miss the council meeting. The council approved her absence.
The city accepted a plaque from the Montana Municipal Insurance Authority for their Safety Achievement Program for Third Class Cities.
Covering five years, Conrad has had the lowest incurred dollars in the liability program. Former Mayor Byron Grubb was on hand for this as well. He commented that it was, “Dedicated employees who received this.”
In the last council report, it was an engineer and a representative from the Rocky Boy Water Project who visited the city on a fact-finding visit to see about hooking up Brady and Dutton to city water. Dutton is in compliance with the DEQ on water matters.
A light agenda and little other business saw the council meeting adjourn in just 30 minutes.
