• Codes and Ordinance Committee: Liggett-met tonight. Whitlock, property on 6th St W. hasn’t given us information. Will wait until he responds. Mayor Jones sent him information, it’s in his ballpark now.

Discussed truck route, ordinance defines truck route. Sibley- No streets are designed for trucks. Liggett- Do we want to put up signs? Sibley- We have to have permission from the state to put up signs on Main St., 1st Ave and 8th Ave. Have them put them up. Place No Local Truck Route signs, then they have to stay on highway. Long questioned oversized loads. Only dealt with that once, per Sibley. Mayor- Brent will work on cleaning ordinance up. Will be a future item.

Also discussed on street parking of campers and trailers. We need to advertise and get public involved. Look at different options. Mayor- will work on it, future discussion, also will notice it up in the paper.
