GLENDO – The September meeting of the Glendo Town Council was brief last week, lasting just 30 minutes before a half-hour executive session. Action taken by the council included approval of minutes, vouchers, and the agenda. Prior to approval of the treasurer's report, Mayor Susan Juschka explained it was a partial report for the month but did include the vouchers that needed to be paid, since interim clerk Kelsey Crabtree was attending annual training for clerks/treasurers. The treasurer's report passed. Mayor Juschka added two claims for consideration to the report. One was to pay Doc Hill the amount of $2,069.50 for ordering the food for the Fly-in. Kelly Jones’ company is donating the beef. Second was a several-month statement for $2,939.80 in attorney fees. Claims passed with the two additions. 
Kelly Jones reported on the Sept. 7
fly-in. She thanked all of those who participated in the event. They had twenty to twenty-five airplanes participate in the activities. Three hundred meals were served on Saturday with 150 meals on Sunday. Next year will be the 20th annual fly-in and the pilots were already asking about the plans.
“We got some feedback from the folks that participate regularly on how we can build it up for next year,” Jones said, adding the feedback included earlier advertising, having vendors, more competitions, other events for the kids, going back to the American flag drop, and a focus on family-friendly activities. The leftover food was donated to the Glendo Community Church where Jones had a “good conversation” with Pastor Hill concerning more involvement from the local businesses and churches in the fly-in and other local events.
Jones said a committee will be formed for next year’s fly-in. The discussion wrapped up with an acknowledgment that grants are available and will be applied for next year.
Heather Schoning reported that it has been a stressful last three weeks with Visionary starting construction. “They’ve cut water lines, they’ve cut sewer lines, they cut Century Link lines, so it’s been an ongoing battle. But I think we have made headway.”

Schoning then talked about the community center. She said she would like to get the community together as soon as possible to discuss options and get a wish list started. Schoning knows the town has the special purpose tax amount for the community center, but she answered an inquiry into the funds that were raised years ago to move the Cottonwood Hall to Glendo. Originally the Town of Glendo raised funds to have the Cottonwood Hall moved to the town and a donor would like to know how much there is in that fund as well as if it would be used towards the community center. It was determined by the council they would need to look up the amount that was raised, but the mayor didn’t see any hindrance to it being used for the new community center.
In old business, Norbert Schultz is still experiencing problems with his water pressure. In August, water project engineer Dave Coffey addressed Shultz’s concerns by saying they could “add it to the final punch list.” Schultz reported he has not seen anyone from Coffey Engineering or WyoDak.
Head of maintenance, Steve Eller, told Schultz he had a long list of issues he was working on, and he would make sure to move him to the top of the list immediately.
Inquiries by the Record-Times were made to Coffey Engineering regarding the final completion list, and if it had been completed, but request was not responded to prior to press time.
In new business, Michelle Wright asked about the hours of availability for dropping items off at the town’s burn pile. Her husband went at the scheduled time and it wasn’t open. Wright said that her husband called the number on the sign but no one answered.
Eller said he had been working at his other job on Saturdays and Sunday mornings. The Mayor responded, the burn pile is supposed to be open on the first and third Saturdays of the month. The only items accepted are wood and yard waste.
Mayor Juschka ended with, “We will make sure it’s open.”
The public was reminded of the fundraiser on October 12 for the volunteer firefighters’ Chili Cook-off, and requested donations for their auction. 
A citizen thanked the fire department for putting the fire engine and the flag out to honor the memory of heroes from 9/11 terrorist attack on our country.
At 6:23 p.m. the Glendo council moved into executive session. At 7:10 p.m. Council moved out of the executive session into the regular meeting and adjourned.
The next town council meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9. Anyone wanting to be on the agenda to address any questions or business with the town must sign up by the deadline of 4 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7.
