Teamwork needed for bright idea

BAXTER -- How many city employees does it take to change a light bulb?

With a smirk on his face, Baxter City Council member Darrel Olson pondered this question out loud during Tuesday's city council meeting after a light bulb in an overhead projector died before city planner Todd Holman's presentation on planning and zoning issues.

"I'm ready, but the bulb isn't," Holman told the council.

After a brief delay, public works director Trevor Walter, equipped with a screwdriver and a new bulb, assisted Holman in replacing the light bulb, allowing Holman to continue with his presentation.
