A light for security

Jerry Sands and Paulette Webley requested that a street light be placed on a pole in the alley near the Grand Coulee Veterinary Clinic.

Sands’ letter noted that several of his storage units had been broken into, and Webley had the same problem with her units. Sands said, it “may help keep the thieves away.”

The Grand Council City Council approved the request, and Sands will pay for the power used.

Golf cart request

Dale Baty, owner of Center Lodge Motel, asked Grand Coulee Council if they would look at allowing golf carts to function in the city. He noted that Electric City has done this and not encountered any problems. He provided a copy of Electric City’s ordinance to council members.
