DISCUSSION:          Fire Department Reviews of Construction Ordinance

                                   

ACTION:                   Orr stated that he felt this ordinance was sufficient and after having a conversation with Fire Chief Zlomie that he felt it should back to council for a vote. The Mayor stated he felt the language was ambiguous and should be viewed and approved by the attorney.

                                   

                                    Alderman Orr made a motion and Alderman Hoppe seconded to send the Fire Department Ordinance back to Council for approval. All yes. Motion passed.

 

DISCUSSION:           Building Code Ordinance

 

ACTION:                   Orr explained the reason he withdrew this from the final reading was because he wanted to address the building inspection fees. Friddle will research and bring information back to the next committee meeting.

 

DISCUSSION:           Bidders Ordinance

 

ACTION:                   The Bidders Ordinance was distributed to members but Studer was not available to discuss. Committee will review for next committee meeting.

 

DISCUSSION:           Storage Container Ordinance

 

ACTION:                   The County Storage Container ordinance was distributed. The Committee agreed this was important and will bring to Council for first reading at the next meeting, then waive the second reading and pass at the following council meeting.

 

 

DISCUSSION:           Parking/Selling Cars

 

ACTION:                   There have been several complaints that residents are parking cars all over their lawns and selling several cars from their driveways, some cars are not even owner’s cars. Another concern was pole buildings in the downtown area as well. A big concern was the route 66 roadway. The committee will ask the city planner to look into designing a special zoning code for the historic and route 66 area.

 

DISCUSSION:           48 Hours Notice for Water Shut Off

 

ACTION:                   Puracchio explained that Water/Sewer Superintendent Ken Jeffries, Finance Director Robin Theobald and Water Clerk Donna Jusell, would like to change the notice to 48 hours since it seems that it gave people enough time to come in and pay the fee rather than the city having to send personnel out to shut off water. The committee agreed.

 

DISCUSSION:           Adjournment

 

ACTION:                   Alderman Orr made a motion and Alderman Hall seconded to adjourn the meeting at 7:35 p.m. All yes motion passed.
