Business

  • Paul has had trouble scheduling the sidewalk work.  The company put him in contact with upper management.  The contract has been signed but if the work is not scheduled soon, the city will have to find a new vendor. 
  • The city discussed soliciting for a vendor to contract for this winter’s snow removal/salting.  Bids will be advertised on our website and social media and bids would need to be received by October 29th.
  • Paul looked at the apartments and asked a letter to be sent to each owner regarding building conditions and the concern for fire violations with homeless persons sleeping in walkways.
  • One resident has cleared the easement on their property but no other resident that received a letter has cleared theirs.  Paul will get quotes from a company to clear individual easements so that the bill will be sent to the residents and if not paid a lien put against the house.  Discussed having a lawyer on retainer and discussed the fine amount and lawyer costs that would be passed to the homeowner.
  • A resident stated that a contractor went through his yard to reach a person’s property and the person stated that they had to go through his yard because of the overgrowth.  Resident doesn’t want people walking through his property  
  • The ordinance pertaining to the cameras was updated.  Kevin suggested that the clerk keep a log of all open records requests.

Paul motioned to adjourn the meeting and Kevin seconded.  Meeting adjourned at 7:45 PM Next meeting October 7, 7pm in person at Northeast Library.
