AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION:

 

            Ms. Hook stated that as a representative of Mr. Lockett at Davey’s Riverside, he would like to have extended hours for New Year’s Eve to 2:00 A.M.  At that time he will no longer serve liquor but plans to serve breakfast.  A motion was made by Mrs. Stark and seconded by Mrs. Graham to extend the hours for New Year’s Eve to 2:00 A.M. on January 1, 2004.  All were in favor.  Motion carried.

 

            Mr. Bunker is taking a mild sedative and cannot work machinery while under the medication.  He takes it at 10:00 at night and cannot use the machinery until 7:00 the next morning.  This poses a problem with snow removal.  It was agreed to talk about this in an executive session.

 

STREETS, ALLEYS, BRIDGES AND SIDEWALKS:

 

            The water fountain by Boco is all broken.  A discussion was made to either take the fountain out or replace it.  A suggestion was made to look into pricing of a new system and call a plumber to see what it would cost to replace the plumbing.   

 

            Mrs. Stark volunteered to look into this.    

 

 

PUBLIC PROPERTY, WATER AND SEWER:

 

            Lift Station will be washed down.  Mr. Mason should be there to supervise.

 

            Mr. Bunker said plow is all set for winter work.  It was verified by Mr. Hastings and Mr. Croup. 

           

 

HEALTH, WELFARE AND POLICE:

 

            Per Mr. Visel, in the towing section it shows that any vehicle that is in the way of snow removal can be towed away.  Discussion was made as to giving a warning the first time.  He said we had approval to do this.

 

 

FINANCE AND APPROPRIATIONS:

 

            A recommendation was made to give Mr. Bunker a Christmas present.  Mrs. Wire motioned to get a gift certificate for $50 from Davey’s.  Mr. Hastings seconded the motion.  Roll call went as follows:  Yea – 4, Nay – 1.  The yeas have it.  Motion carried.

 

            Do we really need to deal with the sludge this year?  What most communities are doing is getting the permit, cleaning out the sludge, and then canceling the permit.  Cost is $2500.  Mr. Mason was going to check into it and get back to us.  The work done by Fehr Graham in the amount of $705 is a factor.  How long will this sludge last?

 

 

PERMITS AND LICENSE:

 

            Committee met and went through and approved the changes to the ordinance. So they are ready.
