The Eagle Bend City Council was conservative in their decision making Monday night. They denied a request by the Eagle Bend Veterans Club to be open on Memorial Day, but approved their request for an 8 a.m. opening on July 4. They denied a request by Police Chief Ryan VanDenheuvel to apply for a federal grant that would pay for up to 75 percent of a part-time officer’s salary. The money could only be used for hiring a new officer and the city felt they had enough police protection and they weren’t interested in paying the additional 25 percent that would be required.
