COUNCIL CHAMBERS MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman- Chuck Rodgers Ron Marshall Chuck Dickerson Dirk Kroll Gay Easton Donna Kilpatrick John Minch Miles Walton Bud Johnson OTHERS PRESENT: V. Joe Leckie Mike Atkinson Andy Loebe Don Hackmann D.L. McGillen Jim Flisrand Dave Michael The Mayor presented and reviewed the 1995-96 mid-year budget report. Discussion regarding a service line installed by a contractor (not the City) west of Valley Drive on West 12th Street. The ditch has sunk some and needs more fill dirt. 10 Miles Walton asked who was doing the work over by the Methodist Church. Dave reported that a contractor was replacing a private service line to a house in the alley behind 401. The sewer line had collapsed. Donna asked if the police are continuing to pick up cars and trailers that are parked over 5 days. Mike said that the police are still working on the problem. Gay commented that there are some business places around town who have not been shoveling the snow from their sidewalks. One in particular he noticed today is just west of the Eagles where trailers are parked on a sales lot and they are protruding onto the sidewalk area. Discussion followed and Jim will follow up with a letter to the owner of the lot. Gay also commented on a good job the crew has done on snow removal and repairing water leaks in the cold weather. John reported that there have been a lot of frozen meters replaced. Dave said that they will be watching the river by the water plant due to the ice breaking up. Andy said that the snow removal went real well. The water leak on Colorado Avenue was a tough one because the frost is about 3 feet down. ,a Darrell McGillen commented on the public hearing regarding the expansion of the building code enforcement. It is up to the state now to make a decision. His main concern, in talking to some of the residents in the areas is that they don't realize that the main thing we are looking at is to set a boundary to keep Billings from coming in and grabbing it. Some of the people don't realize that this can happen. r? • Discussion regarding South Pond. Darrell said that the fire department is in favor of coming up with something for ice rescue procedures and equipment. This will be discussed by the fire committee and they will come back to the council and budget committee. Mike, Chuck Rodgers, and the City Attorney received calls from people on Birch Avenue regarding Michelle Herron's house again. The people have the impression that we can go in and remove anybody we want to. That was not part of her sentencing and we cannot remove anybody from her house. The new police car is here and should be in service sometime next week. Mike said that we need a police committee meeting. Ron said that he is going to call for one Thursday night. Jim distributed and reviewed the DPW update of 2-6-96. Discussion regarding a pre-bid meeting to change the size of water pipe on the new bridge project. Jim said that this will have to be done by a change order during construction. Construction on the new bridge will probably start around April of this year. Don reported that the auditors, Sam Boggess and Associates, are here auditing fiscal year 1994-95 and will be here throughout the week. Don reminded the elected officials of a workshop in Bozeman March 20-22. Dirk and Bud have expressed an interest in going. Joe Leckie referred to the letter office regarding manufactured homes received. Joe said that he has been completely understands it. Joe asked it and if they have any questions to the line a decision has to be made to do something. from the Attorney General's which all of the aldermen studying it to make sure he the aldermen to read through come to him. Somewhere down either do something or not to Chuck Dickerson suggested that we have a special meeting to discuss the letter and maybe everyone would get a better understanding as to what is going on and it might help to clarify the situation. Chuck Rodgers reported that State Senator Ken Miller has been in the area talking with each individual to see what each one is after and why. Maybe something could be worked out between them and he would like more time to pursue that avenue. Joe said that he is not against having an open meeting to discuss the situation. Joe wants to make sure he understands this completely and if the council has any questions in the meantime, before we have that kind of a meeting, feel free to contact him. Joe wants to make sure where we are going and the ramifications of that prior to him giving any kind of recommendation. Joe said that he is not going to rush that process. Chuck Rodgers said that his concern is that this is not just Laurel's problem. It is a statewide problem with all cities and towns. He said that maybe the League of Cities and Towns can give some input or help by sponsoring legislation to correct these problems.
