■ NEW OFFICE ASSISTANT POSITION We received 80 applications for the position of office assistant. We had several good applicants. ■ AUDIT Auditors from LasonAllen were at City Hall from March 20—March 24. They have informed us that the Audit is going much smoother than last year. Nancy Malecha deserves much credit for the efficiency of this year's audit. ■ OFFICE EQUIPMENT We have received the new copy machine that was budgeted for 2006. The machine is much more technical and much faster than the old copier. The old copier has been given to the Police Department. The Clerk's office has received a new computer which was a budgeted item in 2006. The old computer has been given to the Water/Sewer Department. ■ MCFOA CONFERENCE I attended the Minnesota Clerk's and Finance Officer's Conference in March. This is usually an excellent conference. Some of the topics that were covered include election training(which was a required training), establishing fair fees, bonding procedures, and licensing. There were also several general speakers. The conference also provides an opportunity for clerks to associate with their peers. Another benefit of the conference is being able to talk to the vendors that provide essential services to cities. There were 60 vendors at the conference.
