City Manager Harry Walker sent out layoff notices earlier this month to 13 employees but City Council unanimously voted against this action on Monday night.

There was also a presentation on cash flow in which Finance Director Stacy Bjorhus said the city will be about $900,000 short at the end of the year.

Lastly, the request to withdrawal money from the trust fund was on the agenda again. Before a vote was taken on the first reading of the ordinance, Councilman Ed Simpson raised several questions about bills paid to consultants. One in particular was a bill paid for a consultant's work visa.

"You used taxpayers' money to pay for a work visa without any prior approval," Simpson said to Walker.
