Litchfield City Council Meeting

The Litchfield City Council had a brief meeting last night and had more discussion on the state historic building grant. The Council approved of the grant agreement as the process continues for various buildings in Litchfield’s historic downtown district to receive façade improvement grants.

The Legislature set aside just over $2-million in the bonding bill a few years ago for this project in Litchfield. 4594 Design has been working on this project and the selection process is underway for which projects will receive grants.

Council member John Carlson asked for more hoops to be added at some of the courts in the new Litchfield Area Recreation Center. City Administrator Dave Czoik says he would like to get a LARC budget summary together and bring the additional hoops issue back at a future council meeting. He says there was money left in the LARC budget, but there are other “wish list” items.

Also last night, the Litchfield City Council was told by Czoik that he met last Thursday with Aime Gourley and Jim Prosser from the League of Minnesota Cities and Jim would like to lead the Council through a priorities update during a future work session. He says that will probably be schedule in March.
