Attorney Brooks:
• Handout with statutes was given to council regarding who can/should call for emergency/special meetings. Council should consider adding three or four sentences to city ordinance for structure of meetings. Eliminates confusion. Mayor Jones wants to avoid wrong governing practices. Fisher asked if they did something wrong? Mayor Jones said she did not call for the meeting and wants to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
• Curb, Gutter, Sidewalks, Streets, Storm drains, Sewers, SID (Special Improvement District) Discussion- Do homework before creating an SID and get an engineer involved.

Council Discussion/Future Agenda Items: Report out from Council Committee Meetings-
Codes & Ordinance discussion: Report by Toombs.
• Liquor Store-We would need to request from MDT (Montana Department of Transportation), a parking sign placed on South edge of their property, 30 minutes parking only, from 8:00am to 8:00pm. Griffith- why 8:00pm? They aren’t open that late. Liggett- The time needs to be modified. Sibley- Who is paying and installing the signs? Mayor Jones will ask the liquor store owner the hours of business and ask MDT if they are buying and placing the sign.
• Variance for fence-6ft as opposed to 4ft. Council agrees to approve variance. Owners Robert and Jolene Pryor asked the process of getting a property owner to clean up mess in yard. Mayor Jones said Bruce is aware of it.
• Tabled Ordinance-Not sure how it’s going to get paid, by property owner or developer. Recommend SID. Vivirito-Who pays for the SID? Should be passed to the developer.
Remove as tabled item at next meeting.
