Resolution 2013-12: Resolution in Support of Destination Medical Center received a motion from Archer and a second by Vehrenkamp with the motion being carried.
A discussion was held as to a prorated license fee for the Pizza Place which would be for the period of March until June when a new license will be purchased. The motion carried with a motion by Archer and a second by Vehrenkamp.
No action was taken on a request from Wanamingo, Minn. to write a letter in regards to the Rochester Half-Cent Sales Tax Expansion.
Motion by Vehrenkamp and seconded by Archer to approve the Industrial Lot Contract for Deed. The owners are choosing a contract for deed instead of a special assessment. Motion carried.

No Commissioners report was given. Administrators report included Resolution 2013-13 calling for a public hearing on the issuance of a Revenue Note and authorizing the publication of a notice of hearing. A motion was made by Vehrenkamp and seconded by Bires to hold a public meeting on April 8, 2013. Motion carried. The Audit will be presented at the next meeting. The chicken ordinance will be discussed at the next meeting. No Council report was given.
In the Mayor’s report, Jim Struzyk praised the Spring Valley Street Crew stating they “did a heck of a job” with snow removal after the recent snowstorm.
