| Community
Building: Robert Ammann from Elderbridge Agency on Aging
was present to discuss the possibility of a senior citizen’s
meal program in Pomeroy. He said the meals would be prepared in Manson
and then brought over to Pomeroy, they would be hiring someone to
pick up the meals, serve them and then clean up, and this person would
be paid for travel and time. The Council asked the City Clerk how
many times the Community Building was used during the lunch hour,
and she stated possibly a half dozen times a year. A motion was made
by D DeVore, seconded by S Juilfs to let Elderbridge use the Community
Building Monday thru Friday from 11:00 to 1:00 for senior citizens
meals. Roll call. Ayes: R Bachman, S Juilfs and D DeVore Nays: None
Motion Carried. |
| Planning
and Zoning: Cindy Loots expressed her concern for the process
for approving building permits and suggested that a member of the
Council review the permit before it was approved by the administrator
so there was a check and balance in place. D DeVore volunteered to
be the Council member that reviews the permits along with the administrator.
Mayor Becker stated that there was a vacancy for Zoning Administrator
and that the Council would review the process with the new administrator.
|
| Building Permit: Leo Worrell addressed the Council
with questions he had regarding a building permit submitted by John
Krausman. Council member R Bachman told Mr. Worrell that he would
need to ask to bring his questions to the Board of Adjustments because
they would be the ones reviewing the permit and variance. |
| Water/Sewer/Streets: Jacobson-Westergard engineering
took core samples around town last month for the street project. City
maintenance shed needs the office finished before the electrical work
can be finished, and we are still waiting on Bachman Tiling to finish
the water/sewer hookup. K Rhea is to look into a used farm truck to
see if it would work for a secondary plow truck. Cindy Loots voiced
a complaint to the Council that water bill estimates can charge the
customer more money than what was actually used and should never happen.
Westrum Leak Detection finished their inspection of the water system
and found three leaks: one hydrant for the RV’s at the park,
one fire hydrant and one service line to a house. Water to the house
has been shut off and the owner contacted. D DeVore gave an update
on the entrance sign project. D DeVore made a motion seconded by R
Bachman to make the Deputy Clerk position part-time as determined
at the budget workshop meeting beginning July 1, 2010. Roll call.
Ayes: R Bachman, S Juilfs and D DeVore Nays: None Motion Carried.
The City Clerk stated that the City doesn’t have any policy
on mowing properties in town and assessing the charge to the property
taxes. The Council asked that a resolution be drawn up for the next
Council meeting. There is a discrepancy between a landowner and a
renter as to the time the renter said they moved out of a property.
The Council stated to bill the renter until April 1st when the meter
read was taken. |
| Fire
Dept: B Meyer was absent to update the Council as to whether the City’s
insurance covers Fire Dept. members if they were to get injured while
working out at the Fire Station. |
| Parks/Cemetery:
D DeVore suggested that the City put up signs at the park for owners
of animals to clean up after their pets. The EZ Does It club asked
if the City would donate to the Homecoming Celebration, and the Council
stated that the City cannot legally donate to the club. The City Clerk
informed the Council that a cemetery plot was sold twice and that
the owners would have to be contacted and moved up one plot. The Council
asked that an apology letter be sent to the owners. |
| Nuisance Properties: The City Clerk
updated the Council on letters that were sent out and Mayor Becker
stated that he would like to sign the letters before they are sent
out. |
| Police Dept: There were 18 calls
for service. Chief Gerdes asked if she could have a reserved parking
spot in front of her door and the Council said there was no need for
one. The Council agreed to have the Police Chief’s office painted.
Cindy Loots asked if there was a letter sent out to 308 Cayuga since
it is in violation of the City Code, and the City Clerk stated that
there was a letter sent. |
| City Hall: Cindy Loots asked if
the City could have the recycling bin emptied more often complaining
that it is always full. The Council agreed to have the pickup increased
from three times a month to four times and see if that helps. A motion
was made by R Bachman seconded by S Juilfs to approve Casey’s
liquor license. Roll call. Ayes: R Bachman, S Juilfs and D DeVore
Nays: None Motion Carried. A motion was made by D DeVore seconded
by S Juilfs to approve Byron’s Street Dance on July 10th as
long as Chief Gerdes approves of the set up of the beer garden. Roll
call. Ayes: R Bachman, S Juilfs and D DeVore Nays: None Motion Carried.
The Council was asked if there could be a water cooler in City Hall,
and the Mayor said there was no need for one. The Council directed
the City Clerk to find out the cost of a cooler. Also, the City Clerk
is to find out what the price per gallon is for contracted LP for
this winter and report back to the Mayor. |
| PUBLIC COMMENT: Leo Worrell asked
the Council to clean up the town and enforce the code. Cindy Loots
said that C Meyer told her there was a hold on the Schossow permit,
and then the building was erected over the weekend. She asked if the
Council even saw the permit, and they had. She also asked that the
Council review their process so that this doesn’t happen in
the future. |
