The mayor and all alderman except Bob Grimes were present for the meeting. Grimes was not in attendance.
Council actions:
- Approved a zoning request from Jo Ann Bowling from residential to commercial.
- Increased swimming pool admission from $2/day to $3/day. Passes to be determined later. Alderman Steve Alford brought it to the council's attention that there is a substantial leak in the pool that needs to be fixed before the season starts.
- Set the date for Thayer's 2007 Cleanup Week at the week of April 2.
- Rescheduled the March city council meeting for March 20th to allow city clerk Rosie Simpson to attend a training conference on the 2nd Tuesday of March.
- Discussed gathering prices for a bucket truck. Apparently, the one the council has been looking at has been wrecked.
- Voted to let bids on a 1998 model police car.
- Approved a motion to run the city's 6-month financial statement in the paper.
- Wrote off delinquent 2002 personal property taxes owed to the city.
- Approved buying uniforms for police officers, instead of continuing to rent them. Police Chief Frank Bernard estimated that buying rather than renting would pay for itself in four months.
