Chuck Dickerson wanted to know the status of the property that Dave
Murray wants to transfer to the City. Jim said that he is still
trying to identify the property and the legal procedure. There may
be a cost to have a survey done and a plat prepared. We can't
obtain this piece of property until we can legally identify it.
This is a small triangular piece of land which apparently does not
currently have a legal description.
Discussion regarding the footbridge and the proposed SID in the
area. Jim said that the footbridge is an entirely different issue,
separate from the SID. It is not tied to the SID in any way. It
was suggested that these issued be addressed by the Street and
Alley Committee. Jim reported that he has discussed the footbridge
issue with County Commissioner Kennedy, but he has not heard
anything from him recently.
Ron Marshall wanted to know the status of the Fox Lumber situation.
Joe Leckie said that the last word he had was that Larry McCann was
continuing to inspect it. However, it is progressing a lot slower
than it was originally promised him. Joe will write another
letter. Darrell McGillen said that the work is being done, but at
a pretty slow pace.
Donna Kilpatrick wanted to know if the junked cars are still being
pursued parked on City streets. Also, campers and vehicles parked
more than 5 days.
Discussion regarding goats on 4th Avenue. Rick Musson said that
the Police Department did get a formal complaint and they will
follow up on it.
Rick Musson reported that they are still in the process of hiring
a new police officer. They had 31 applicants and they have
narrowed it down to 8. The Police Commission will rate them and it
is recommended that the list be kept for one year.
Vicki mentioned that several rumors have been going around
regarding the move of her office. She asked that the discussion be
open to everyone. The Mayor said, it is.
Jim presented and reviewed the DPW Update of 12-19-95.
Chuck Rodgers said that he received a letter from the Community
Welfare Reform Advisory Council (CWC) looking for someone to serve
on their council.
Three Aldermen will be going off of the Council tonight.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:48 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
