The Britt City Council will meet Tuesday beginning at 7 pm to discuss several issues. The first of these is the removal of the old water tower. The city will discuss the project and possible additional costs. The removal is part of an project upgrade to the city’s water system.
The city will then address an ongoing issue of the payment of tickets. City Administrator Debra Sawyer says that the city and the county will work together to make sure the fines are paid.
The council will also look at possibly cutting expenses when it comes to road repairs. The Mayor Ryan Arndorfer and the council will hear from an outsourcing company on potential bids to fix potholes on city roads. They will compare the costs including time, labor, and materials that the city must pay for against the proposed costs of the outsourcing company.

Britt is looking to make some updates to its dog ordinances in the form of new fines. The proposed fines would be levied for those who cannot keep their dog confined properly and it escapes. City Administrator Debra Sawyer explained that the city council appears to be moving forward in drafting a resolution that would include the new penalties.
The city is encouraging everyone to make sure that their dogs are either chained, fenced, or kept indoors. This is for the safety of all residents and city employees. The council will go into session on April 20th at 7 pm to review the resolution and possibly pass it.

The Britt City Council will head into a regular city council meeting on Tuesday night in the Britt City Hall. The council will review and probably agree to the consent agenda of claims and a liquor license.
The council will then head into a public hearing on the proposed water tower. The 150,000 gallon storage tank is part of the water / wastewater upgrade in the city. Mayor Ryan Arndorfer has spearheaded the project with the hopes of bringing the city’s water systems. The council will ask City Clerk Debra Sawyer to publish bid letting for the construction of the tower through Resolution 09-2021. The council will also set a public hearing date for the awarding of the contract to build the tower.
