January 4th, 2016 by Ric Hanson
The City Council in Atlantic will hold its first meeting of the new year, 5:30-p.m. Wednesday, at City Hall. During their session, the Council will handle administrative matters, including approval of the City’s official bank for 2016 checking accounts, and approval of the official newspaper for legal publications.
The Council is also expected to act on the re-appointment of Deb Wheatley Field as City Clerk. City Administrator John Lund says Wheatley-Field has served as City Clerk since 1982, and will be completing her 34-year of service, in February. In his strong recommendation to the Council for her appointment, Lund said “I cannot express enough what an asset she has been for Atlantic. She possesses the classic work values that built this country that are so rare, today.” Lund said “I have tremendous respect for her both as a co-worker and often as a mentor.”
In his report to the Council, Lund will discuss a Request for Use of the second floor auditorium in the City Hall building. The Atlantic City Council will also act on approving a change order for the Nishna Hills Golf Course Storm Water Improvement Project. John Lund says the change order pertains to the extension of an existing culvert on 14th Street, near the Atlantic High School. The culvert, he says, will be extended across the third fairway of the golf course.
At the conclusion of regular business, the Council will adjourn into a Closed Session for the purpose of discussing the job performance of City Administrator John Lund.
