Mayor Black noted a date should be set for reviewing and dis- cussing the 1974 Proposed Improvement Project Hearing that was held on December 11, 1973. After discussion, it was the concensus of the Council that the matter be placed on the Agenda of the Regular Meeting - January 8, 1974. Mayor Black reminded that January 2, 1974, an organizational meeting was scheduled. At this time the oaths of office for the newly elected Aldermen and Mayor would be administered. Mayor Black noted also that a breakfast meeting had been arranged with Senator Bernhagen and Representative Kvam on January 9, 1974, 7:30 A.M., at Lee's Truck Stop. Mayor Black in recognizing retiring Alderman Alrick and Alder- man Linder, noted that this was a meeting which he had not been looking forward to. The Mayor commented that there had been pleasant associations in doing the work of the City and much had been accomplished in that time. He said the remaining Council would hate to see Aldermen Linder and Alrick leave, not out of sentimentality, but because of the work that had been accomplished through the years. Mayor Black upon thanking Alderman Linder and Alrick presented them with framed certifi- cates of the Athenian Oath. Alderman Alrick commented that it had been a privilege to serve the City and an experience he would not have wanted to miss. Alderman Linder commented that he had served nearly ten years, and many projects had been undertaken in that time. He said the Council took most of the heat for the garbage pickup but still thought it was the right move and in back -tracking, would not change any votes or decisions made over the ten years as Alderman. The being no further business to come before the Council, meeting was declared adjourned at 5:55 P.M. on motion by Alderman Westlund seconded by Alderman Lueneburg and carried.
