The Tuesday, February 18 meeting of the Clarion City Council saw the council approving various resolutions. The first was regarding compensation for added duties and certification as a grade 3 sewer operator for city employee Mike Anderson. Anderson recently completed classes and examinations to obtain this status after a DNR reclassification of the Clarion sewer made this necessary. City administrator Clint Middleton noted that some comparably sized towns have decided to outsource this job now, which he feels will end up costing cities more in the long run.
