Council Report:
Mrs. Branson had a complaint against a house on the corner of Bobby and
Meadowlark stating it was empty and the grass was high, was sure it was
already on the zoning list. Also the Library Board met and will be sending
out bulk mailing and are asking for help for fund raisers.
Mr. Winkler had a complaint from a bus driver stating the curve on
Chamberlain Rd (by space ships) was difficult to negotiate around since the
home owners has placed some type of post there. Asking if this can be
improved for safety. Mr. Townsend stated this is a substandard curve and no
quick solution for this at the time. Will be placing this on the 6-year
street program to look at, there are other curves in the city that needs
some attention.
Also bus drivers are complaining about cars passing them at railroad tracks
(Welcome Way and Pearson Body Shop). Mr. Townsend stated at this time if
they get the license plate number will have the police cite the motorist
into court.
Mr. Thompson stated she has received calls regarding Nikki Court about two
homes that have high grass and their homes are run down. These homes are
being occupied at this time.
Mayor Report: Mayor Ellender stated he has received a letter from Rep.
Schuler stating that there are no discussions at this time regarding local
government funding but is willing to support our feelings.
Managers Report: Need a street committee meeting on June 22, 2004 at 6:30;
regarding drainage problems on Fairview Drive and applying for phase 7 for
the issue 2 which is due on June 25th.
Mr. Townsend stated from a letter received from Mr. Bernie Eichholz
regarding 660 Michael Drive. Mr. Eichholz holds the mortgage and has
stated this property will be going to sheriff sales on July 19th and he will
be obtaining this property back and has requested that on July 20th the
property be demolished. Asked the city to get quotes on demo the property.
Mr. Eichholz is also requesting confirmation from council to donate this
property to Humanity for which they will build another home. Our zoning
requires the house to be built at 1500 sq. ft. normally they build 1200 sq.
ft. homes. May request a variance for this. Council stated they were in
favor of this and would be a big improvement over what has been there.
Mr. Wallace stated that if council received any complaints that the zoning
office has their own voice mail to leave messages so they might be able to
stay on top of everything.
Old Business: Tapscott Proposal Plan: Mrs. Thompson stated the park board
has reviewed a list of priopriety. Need to have sewer and water , sell the
pews and use the money toward purchasing tables and chairs. Need some
engineering designs. LJB and Greg Wallace has showed some design plans on
the use of the building along with some rough cost estimates. Some major
changes would be to expand capacity for handicap ramps, new deck, major
changes would be to relocate a new door on the east side which would be
direct access to the banquet room. North side would be for exiting purposes.
Fire capacity would be around 75-100 people occupancy.
