Wes Bussell named Eyota Citizen of the Year

Mayor Wes Bussell was surprised by the Eyota City Council when he was named Citizen of the Year at the Annual Eyota Days Celebration. “I was humbled and honored,” Bussell said. According to City Councilman Tony Nelson he was given the award because of his service to the community.
“All of his years of service to the community and the fire department and the things he did for the community that were not known,” Nelson said. This is the second time Bussell has been named Citizen of the Year.
The City Council added verbiage to the sanitary services request for proposals requirements to insure they contract with a company that can provide expanded services in case of an emergency. Mayor Bussell wants to make sure the company that receives the residential sanitary services contract can respond to a flood or fire by providing more large dumpsters to remove the added waste. The previous contractor responded positively during the latest flood by providing more large dumpsters and kept replacing them as needed. “It would be nice to know the company would be able to provide the service,” said Bussell. The council expects four companies to be in the bidding competition for the one hauler contract. It is a three year contract that will run from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2015. The council also approved moving forward to receive bids on setting up emergency power for city wells and other essential services. The price tag could be $140,000 so the city will get bids from at least two engineering companies.
Arbor Gardens received approval to move forward with a feasibility study for expansion. Viewpoint Consulting Group, Inc. was selected to complete the study. The bulk of the cost of $4,900 will be offset by a grant from AgStar Financial Services. AgStar has a corporate giving and sponsorship program called AgStar Fund for Rural America that will provide up to $4,000. The study will evaluate the feasibility to purchase adjacent land for expansion. One third of the cost of the study will be paid by Arbor Gardens. Arbor Gardens currently has 37 residents.
The Eyota Volunteer Fire Department Relief Association requested to raise the annual pension benefit from $1,200 to $1,300. The council approved the request stating the benefit has been at $1,200 for a number of years. The department does have the funds available to support the move without any further funding from citizens at this time. The .....
