SUBSIDEARY MINUTES

 

Recreation        Jenny Blackmore was present on talked to council about the walking trail

Report              She was asking for direction in regards to actual placement of the trail.

Consensus was to start the Community Center, past Char-Mac and then to the school.  Easements will have to be negotiated with landowners once the route is decided.  Fell, Blackmore and trail committee members will come back with a proposed route.

            Lisa Breyfogle has accepted the pool manager job.  She is currently taking lifeguard training class.  Blackmore and pool committee will meet at the pool and go over the inspection report from last summer.

Uneven levels around the deck were one area of concern.

 

Rezone Lot       Brenda Cronin was present asking for an explanation of the council

E. 2nd St.          decision not to proceed with their rezoning request of the lot at 610 E. 2nd

Street.  The last time this was requested it was very controversial.  The council felt rezoning should not be just one piece but should entail the 3 lots in this area which current property owners would not be in favor of.  The council elected not to send this request to the planning and zoning commission for their review and suggested the Cronin’s try and get the proper signatures on a petition to bring the issue forward.

 

Well #2            Ken and Scott Niemier were present to talk to the council about Well #2.

The current DNR inspection report requires the city to be able to operate this well or cap it.  The well was pulled and a quote to make the well operational or cap it was reviewed.  Council told Ken and Scott to get quotes from local well companies for comparison and have the well capped.  It has not been used for many years.

 

Storm Sewer    The storm sewer has collapsed in front of the Elevator grain storage tubes south of Vohs & Miller.  First Street is also settling so it appears the storm sewer needs to be replaced under the street.  Storm sewer will be replaced in front of the Elevator property now with trying to hold off until spring prior to the doing the section under First Street.

 

Sweeper           Ken and Scott brought the sweeper over for the council to look at.  It was agreed the sweeper is shot.  Council decided they are committed to sweeping the streets.  Prices and options will be gathered and presented at the next meeting.

 

Lubeck St.       Bob Payer presented the council several options to extend North Lubeck

Extension          from VTI back into town.  The council will review these plans and discuss the options at the next meeting.

 

 

                        Adjournment.
