SUNNY TODAY, HIGH IN LOW 30'S.
THE MAQUOKETA BOYS LOST BY 2 POINTS IN OVERTIME LAST NIGHT AT THE MCHS GYM, TO MARION.
THEY PLAY DUBUQUE WAHLERT NEXT MONDAY NIGHT, HERE, IN THEIR TOURNAMENT OPENER.
STILL NO NEW MEMBER OF THE MAQUOKETA MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC UTILITY BOARD TO REPLACE KENT SHOUSE, WHOSE 6 YEAR TERM HAS ENDED.
HE IS WILLING TO SERVE LONGER, BUT MAYOR MESSERLI WILL NOT RE-APPOINT HIM BECAUSE THE MAYOR IS CONCERNED THAT SHOUSE, WHILE CHARIMAN OF THE BOARD, VIOLATED THE OPEN MEETINGS LAW ON ONE OR TWO OCCASSIONS.
LAST NIGHT, MESSERLI SUBMITTED THE NAME OF JIM RANKIN, FORMER COUNCILMAN, FOR THE POSITION. THERE WAS A MOTION MADE TO APPROVE HIM, BUT I DIED FROM A LACK OF A 2ND. SO, THE STALEMATE CONTINUES.
MESSERLI IS EXPECTED TO SUBMIT ANOTHER NAME AT THE NEX MEETING.
SORRY FOR THE SHORT REPORT.
TAKE CARE.
