Redwood Falls, Minn. —
The Redwood Falls City Council agreed on Tuesday to allow the Redwood Area Hospital to purchase a new software system for record keeping.
According to Surgery Department Manager Julie Salmon, the ProVation software system has been requested by visiting surgeons who do endoscopy procedures.

• Approved a temporary on-sale liquor license for the grape stomp event to be held on Sept. 24 at the corner of Second and Jefferson Streets.

• Accepted the resignation of Assistant/Children’s Librarian Lori Crocker from the Redwood Falls Public Library, and authorized the library to begin the hiring process for a replacement.
