Howard commended the city employees for their dedication and said he enjoyed the opportunity of serving on the council. He said that St. Paul is a progressive community that is moving forward. Incumbent Howard Beck and newcomer Brenda Klanecky, both elected in the General Election, took the oath of office that was administered by City Clerk Connie Jo Beck. The interlocal agreement with the library was discussed. The city and school each have three members on the board, who must be residents of the city and/or school district. Lowen Clausen, who lives in Washington state, has served on the board for many years. His status will be changed to member-at-large, with no voting rights. Mike Feeken will now be St. Paul’s third representative on the library board. It was noted that the city is responsible for paying personnel from 3:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on school days, and for weekends, holidays, and during the summer, and for helping to maintain the building. Mayor Snow said no city funding should be used to provide food, such as the rice crispy bars that were on the most recent bills from the library.
