Council members express views in short meeting

With not much to discuss on the agenda, some Havre City Council members used Monday night's meeting to pass along a few messages from their constituents to city department heads.

Council member Andrew Brekke told Parks and Recreation Director Chris Inman that he had been asked by many people why the city's swimming pool was closed for such a long time this fall.

Inman explained that she is required to have two lifeguards on duty at any time, which she currently does not have. Inman also said that, because of rules from the state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the pool has to be open by Oct. 29.

Council member Brian Barrows passed a message of gratitude from his constituents in Ward 2 to Public Works Director Dave Peterson for all the work the city has put into repairing 13th Street this summer. Barrows said he appreciated the smooth ride and the improved drainage.

Then council adjourned.
