Public Comment:
Bill Trent, 515 1st St W. When I was here last, there was talk about the V-1 Property, wondering what happened with it. Mayor Jones-He hasn’t come in with any plans yet.
Pertaining to the fireworks on Main St., do you have to have a problem before you fix it? You should designate three to four areas for people to shoot them off and limit the 12 days. Limit the days to 7:00pm-11:00pm. And eliminate June. It’s unacceptable as is. Maybe get the Sheriff’s Office a sound box so they can figure out where the fireworks are being shot off at. Mayor Jones-It will be considered when we meet again. Fisher- Was there physical damage to your house? No.
Sarah McNaughtan, 617 2nd St W. What was shot off by my house by kids was not a firework. Long-Did you report it to Law Enforcement? No, I opened the door and kids ran off. Undersheriff Bednar-There were no calls to dispatch on the 4th of July. Bill Trent- Maybe they don’t call because you don’t do anything about it.
John Perrella, 902 2nd St W. I went out with a Council person and drove the streets. Streets were pretty clean but, cleanup needs to be enforced every year.
Christy Wickhorst, 40 Horsethief Rd-I have dogs who are terrified of fireworks, they were a lot tamer than last year. 4th of July we celebrate, why do we do it for 12 days?
Council Action Item:
MOVED BY ERICKSON, SECONDED BY LONG TO APPROVE TABLING AMENDING PREVIOULY ADOPTED MINUTES OF MAY 9,2022. ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED.
Public Comment:
Christy Wickhorst, we own 1201 Main St, the trailer park North of town. We were told by DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) to get the cities approval to allow another trailer making it four. We have the space, outlet, water and sewer already. Mayor Jones- we will have Infrastructure Committee look at it.
Bill Trent-You need to check into getting a microphone so we can hear the council. Toombs- might be too much feedback. Mayor Jones- We will take a look at that.
Sarah McNaughtan- Could you look into an addendum for a permit to have more than two dogs?
Mayor Jones- Will put on the agenda for council discussion next meeting.
MOVED BY FISHER, SECONDED BY LIGGETT TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.
THE MEETING ADJOURNED AT 7:59 P.M.
