They include Mayor Joseph Christiansen, Bill Lew-is, Leon Walker, Nyle Harris, Lon Hooley and Kent Taylor. At the council meeting Chief Ken Harris reported on police activities for the month of February.

Traffic and liquor were the normal problems.

Schedule for the inspection fee would be as follows: $5.00 minimum charge will be made or $1.00 for each $1,000 evalu-taio-whichever is greater. This fee is to be collected by the city treasurer. This was made in the form of a resolu-tion by the councilmen and passed by unanimous vote. It was reported to the coun-cil that Scott Brackenbury had been hired by the city on an hourly basis. A motion was made that the city support the action that had been taken re-garding the above mentioned employee and that the city es-tablish and maintain a policy of new employees being on pro-bation for a period as deter-mined by the city council. This motion was passed by unan-imous vote.
