those items and we actually did one of them on our homes thing last time so nothing additional to add any questions or anything cool finance director's report you got anything to add Bill uh no uh we're just working with the
auditors because um they're going to be looking at coming up here in April for finance committee if you want to do that normal review like we've done otherwise they'll be scheduling one of your April meetings here it looks like the second one I believe for the presentation of
the audit any questions about that no all right that sounds good to me public works director Sean you got a reports there uh one thing I want to point out that I've talked I think Jimmy Hill about some of the other council members our street
sweeper that we ordered last fall uh well it's contingent on the new one coming in for the other place we're getting the used one from uh they're telling me it's going to be the middle of April before we would get that uh with the amount of salt sanding we had
to do this year I don't think it's bad enough that we need to go at least one i think we can ride it out for a couple more weeks and just kick off a roar when it does come in but I wanted to give that to you guys and you're getting the rest of the season if we have to go out and salt again we'll use straight salt and use sandal so it's not going to ever
get any worse than it is and I didn't think it was bad enough that we needed to try and do that so if you guys have other direction you want me to follow or do me sounds good any of the other questions for John well you got to plow a couple times and
they did a fantastic job i would thank the guys for that you All right city engineer no report library director report um let's see above and beyond what's in my report which I don't have in front of
me you put the Yeah in there you heard it coming did you come no we Well what I did was um so the original kit was called a grabber and I thought that seems creepy but you know what's
not creepy is the Baron and so uh we wrote a qu and the uh the Baron actually now lives in Wabasha so he's like actually lives in our library system and um so I thought you know it was a chance for me to write a little biography of the Baron and share it with kids and uh
include um and name one of our kids after him so that's cool um yeah I just thought you know like Minnesota's full of weirdos and like this is what I felt like celebrating so you know um and other than that um uh we still
actually have a couple grab or claw kits left if anyone's interested i think we have five left of the 108 we made um what else can I tell you um we are working on a plan um thank you for approving the vouchers for this week um
we are part of a plan to uh fund um ebooks better in our library system and um Stuart Phil is taking a leadership role in that to kind of shame the other libraries and tricking in more um the
cir our goal is to get um the ebook collection to the point where there's one title available for every 10 holds um which is we're nowhere near that right now so it's uh going to take a a
little bit of a lift to get us there but Steuartville Steuartville is funding um ebooks in Selco at that level um and we're just hoping other members will u follow our lead on that um and yeah then
