Safe Route to School Grant expired in January and City Finance Of- cer Hope Block managed to get an extension on the $13,900 grant. “They don’t do this grant any more so we need to nish it up,” she said. It needs to be used by December 31. Once the city approved the grant, the school will also need to approve the grant. Then they can decide what to the use the money for. One of the options include a portable speed trailer that the city will have to match at 25 percent of the cost. Then there was discussion on the cross-walk on SD37. Councilman Karyn Babcock said it would be nice if there was a button for pedestrians to push that would turn the light to red to stop traf c while the pedestrians crossed the road.
