will be tuck-pointed this summer. Tastad said that the historical society would pay for the repairs. Currently, the building is not insured by the city for replacement. It is covered by liability insurance. “We (the Groton Commu- nity Historical Society) would do the repair on it at no expense to the city,” Tastad said. “It would be a gift for the people of Groton.” City Attorney Drew Johnson said he is concerned about the asbestos situation if it exists. “We (the city) don’t want you going in there and being exposed to asbestos. The city would still be liability. I know it’s a very expense proposal to remove asbestos.”
Councilman David Blackmun said that as a landlord, we are on the hook for the repairs. “I want it to be done satisfactory and by a licensed contractor,” Blackmun said. Mayor Scott Hanlon said, “I would rather have some- one repair it that I know and not with someone that I don’t know. I faith in him doing a good job.”
“I don’t see the harm in letting it stand if it’s fixed correctly,” said Councilman Karyn Babcock. Mike Nehls said the jail has a lot of historical importance to the community. Eddy Nehls said, “It would be nice to have something historical to look at when you come to town.” Mike and Eddy Nehls have both served as the Chief of Police in Groton.
The discussion when on for half an hour about the jail. The council decided to give the historical society until September 30, 2018, to make the repairs. It passed on a 3-2 vote with Councilmen Burt Glover and David Blackmun voting no.
Tastad then discussed the need for electrical equipment at the park for the Summer Festival. The plan is to install three different electrical outlets in the park for people to use. There is $3,000pledgedfortheprojectfromtheGroton Lions Club and the Groton American Legion as a gift for the community, Tastad said. It would give food venders for the Summer Festival more opportunities for electrical outlets. The council approved the project.
Tastad said that the Lions Club has begun the discussion to help with a project to make handicap bathrooms. “We just want to start thediscussiononthis,”Tastadsaid.
Then there was discussion on street strip- ing. Opinions varied on whether it should be done. The equipment can be borrowed from the school to do the striping.
