Jagger Schmitt, the son of Jake and Stacey Schmitt, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play football at Upper Iowa University.  The Clear Lake senior was named Most Valuable Defensive Player in Class 2A District 3 last fall and honored as a defensive back on the First Team.  He made 27.5 tackles, 20 solo, and recorded three tackles for loss.  Schmitt also recovered two fumbles and made two interceptions in district games.

A good number of trees were taken down as part of Main Avenue reconstruction in the past few years.  While we wait for the third and final phase, from 14th to 8th Street, the City Council gave the green light for replanting to begin on the 14th to 20th Street stretch in the near future.  The City plans to replant even more trees than were lost in the project. Thirty-two trees are proposed.

The Clear Lake City Council heard early proposals for two housing developments in Clear Lake at an early morning workshop session Tuesday.  Both developers approached the Council for assurances the City would participate in costs associated with preparing the sites for building.
