City Council Meeting Recap January 13th, 2025. At the Creswell City Council meeting on January 13, 2025, new council members and a new mayor were sworn in, including Mark Kremer, Joan Morris, Clark Kent, and Mayor Nick Smith. They took an oath to serve with honesty and integrity. Outgoing officials, including Mayor Dave Stram, Councilor Normajean Osborne, and Councilor Shelly Clark were recognized for their service. The council discussed a public safety issue raised by Ryan Larue about speeding near schools and suggested ways to improve safety. The council also went over committee appointments for the year, including those for the Water Rate Advisory Committee, Public Safety Committee, and others. The council approved a $280,500 contract for sewer work on Second Street, discussed a grant for new restrooms at Second Street Park, and reviewed a project to improve the city's water tanks by annexing properties to streamline the permitting process. They also planned to fill the vacancy left by Councilor Nick Smith's resignation by February 2025.
