COUNCIL CHAMBERS MEMBERS PRESENT: OTHERS PRESENT: Chairman- absent Ron Marshall Albert Ehrlick Donna Kilpatrick Bob Graham V. Joe Leckie Vicki Metzger Chuck Dickerson Gay Easton John Minch Lonnie Kellogg Mike Atkinson Don Hackmann A comment was made about all the dandelions in the parks. We need to get something organized now to take care of the problem in the future, such as sending someone to a school to get a license for spraying. A question was asked if anyone has checked on the gravel removal from the curb and streets in Alder Ridge. Dave said that he has not been out there, but he will check it out. • The lawn by the buildings that need to be torn down (old Williams property) is getting pretty tall. Lonnie asked the council what their thoughts are regarding the city crew tearing the buildings down in December and January. Weather Permitting John thought that the crew could do it. This will be checked into further. The weeds are getting pretty long at the old Merchant apartments and at Jim Martin's property. He should be sent a letter. Don suggested that the city get their own weeds cut before sending letters to other people. Bob mentioned that Loren Frank, President of the Cove Ditch Company, feels that the city is not paying their fair share of the Cove Ditch costs and he is concerned that the city is using more water than they require. He maintains that when we irrigate at the cemetery the ditch goes almost dry and that the farmers east of there do not get enough water. Dave said that he will be going to the ditch company's meeting on the first Wednesday of next month (June 1st). The city only useE a 4" pump to water the cemetery. • 0cip i Judy McNally was present and addressed the council regarding the certified local government program, which works with historic preservation. Regarding the old wrecked police car, Mike had checked with wrecking yards and the average price was $500 to $550, there is a person interested in purchasing it. Mike indicated that the Merchant Apartments are unsafe and should be secured. Dave said that it would take up to 40 sheets of plywood to cover the doors and windows on the ground level. Something needs to be done, because people have been going into the building and it is unsafe. The meeting was adjourned at 6:44 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Don Hackmann City Clerk
