by Alexis Johnson

The regular meeting of the Lansing City Council was held Monday, April 6. The discussion centered around the consent agenda, street report and a COVID-19 update.

The consent agenda consisted of council meeting minutes from March 16, payments of claims, and liquor license renewal for Lansing IGA. The consent agenda was approved.

Mark Rethwisch was hired to fill one of the lawn mowing positions within the city this summer. The City is still looking for one more person to apply for another vacant position. A motion was made and seconded to purchase a new plow truck.

All local parks will be closed due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Garage sales are also prohibited at this time until further notice. Citywide clean-up day originally scheduled for April 14 has also been postponed.
