Amazon Quick Hack

 With all the challenges of 2020 and the first part of 2021 many of us have utilized online merchants for medical supplies. Since medical supplies are tax deductible it is very helpful to have a full list of the things you bought. I recently found a hidden Amazon feature that will supply your purchase history report. To get to this report you can follow this link Order Report or follow these steps.

1. Log into your Amazon account
2. Click on your name
3. This should take you to the accounts page
4. Look for the box labeled "Orders and Shopping Preferences"
5. Click the "Download Order Report" link
6. Enter the Date range in the form that comes up
7. Open with Open Office or Excel

This took me a little R&D to find so I wanted to shre the link to help others out, good luck.

 

City Clerk Resigns

March 8, 2021

The City of Mantorville is in the process of interviewing for an open "City Clerk's" position. Cami Reber is stepping down after 17 years with the City of Mantorville. Cami has been a faithful servant for our community and has served with several mayors now. Cami has a passion for her job that is hard to find these days and she will be greatly missed! I wish Cami the best of luck in her new position and I know she will do a fantastic job for Byron. Cami is willing to work through the transition process and serve as a resource for the city as the need arises.

Good luck Cami and Thanks for a great 17 years!

Council at Full Strength

 March 8, 2021

The appointment for the two open seats were filled tonight. The appointment process first was a secret ballot where all three candidates (Bill Kinney, Kent Keller and Jeff Ingalls) received 2 votes. In situations like this any "game of chance" or "form of lottery" is allowed. After an extensive search for straws and coins a quarter was secured. The coin was flipped and each candidate called heads or tails while the coin was in the air. This took three rounds and finally Bill Kinney and Kent Keller won the toss and were appointed to fill the two open seats. I want to thank Jeff, Bill and Kent for their willingness to serve our community. I asked Jeff Ingalls if he would be willing to serve on the EDA because we have an open seat on that body as well. Jeff said he would be willing to serve the community this way.

I wanted to thank Don Hofstad and Henry Blair who set the record straight during our meeting tonight  regarding a recent letter to the editor. I also wanted to thank everyone that approached me tonight and shared comments of support and appreciation for the hard work the council and I have performed. I know my community knows the truth and I appreciate your support.

Congratulations Kent and Bill, I know each of you will bring new insight and passion to our council and our community.
