Business:
1. Report of special F.B.I training by Police Chief Scott Jackson.
Scott Jackson, Police Chief, reported back to the council on his 10 week training sponsored by the F.B.I.
2. . Public Hearing – Consider amending the 2005-06 General Fund Budget. (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Motion was made by CM Call to open the public hearing. 2nd by CM Bailey. Voting was unanimous in favor.
Bruce Talbot: with the growth, we need to continue building inspection services. We lost Ken Martin over this issue. It was too big for him. We hired a replacement, Glen Willie. I have had him track his time. 20 hours per week is not adequate to provide the service and with the potential lots yet to be developed. I am recommending a full-time position for the building inspector and to fund it accordingly. It will be funded through the increase in building permits. Comments from the public were solicited. Tim Healy: I urge the council to go slow. Can this be justified for the next years with the number of building permits? Bob Valentine: I seldom disagree with Tim Healy, but we need to make sure builders are building to code and protecting our investments. If the work load is there, it would be appropriate to fund, but if work load diminish, then the city needs to re-look at the position. There is nothing more important than to be responsible to the citizens. Mae Ferguson: is Glen Willie willing to work full-time? Glen Willie: I still build. When material is short, such as concrete, the builders have to use it, and we need to be available make those inspections. Sometime I have had to make two trips back to Pleasant View for the inspections. I have done 29/30 house plans, and there is an increase in demand and liability to the city. I enjoy it here and I would work full-time if the need is there.
Motion was made by CM Clifford to end the public hearing. 2nd by CM Call. Voting was unanimous in favor.
Motion was made by CM Call to amend the budget for the full-time building inspector to the end of this fiscal year, establish the need during the next year’s budget, and to correct Section Three of the resolution (Resolution 2006-C). 2nd by CM Clifford. Roll Call Vote. Voting Aye: CM Humphreys, CM Call, and CM Clifford. Voting Nay: CM Bailey. Motion passed.
Bruce Talbot was asked to get a detailed job description, check into the building permit fees, and check other jurisdictions if we can partner with them.
3 Country Fields Subdivision - Approve city’s participation in upsizing the storm sewer line. (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Bruce Talbot reviewed the engineering memorandum dated March 24, 2006. There are two options to pay for the upsizing; one out of the Fund or pay it over time through the reimbursement from the collection of fees. Paul Ellsworth discussed his disapproval with this item not going through him and being left out of the loop. We have funds that need to be spent. This fits into the plan, and I am for it. CM Call: it needs to be paid upfront. CM Humphreys: does the other, item #2, need to be bid out? Mayor Wheelwright: we can deal with the first item tonight.
Motion was made by CM Call to approve item #1 on the upsizing and to pay the cost (Item #1: oversizing of storm drainage piping running west through the subdivision from 3300 North Street in the amount of $1,278.00) and bid out item #2 (construct a 24” storm drain from 3300 North to Pleasant View Drive to be used for future upstream development with an estimated cost of $31,200). 2nd by CM Bailey. Voting was unanimous in favor.
4. Pleasant Meadow Prud/White Barn 4 – Approve plat amendment. (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Bruce Talbot: we are amending something that already exists. The purpose is to legally join two developments. Bob Valentine: there are two separate associations and developments on paper, but one in association dues. The CC&R’s have not changed for years. We need 65% of the homeowners to change the CC&R’s.
Motion was made by CM Humphreys to approve the plat amendment for Pleasant Meadows PRUD/White Barn 4. 2nd by CM Call. Voting was unanimous in favor.
5. Discussion and/or action regarding the payment for the Wikstrom bill regarding work done on 2700 North. (Presenter: Nevin Limburg)
Nevin Limburg: we have a $15,000 contract with Wikstrom. We will be getting grant money from EDCU this week of $2,000. When I first presented this in the fall, the balance of $7,000 was coming from a private source. I got busy doing other things and didn’t make further contact. CM Bailey: are we late in making the payment? Nevin Limburg: we are not late according to their billings. The plan is to have a budget transfer to pay for it now. CM Bailey: asking the public for funding should be done before hand. CM Wheelwright: when did you talk with the private investor last. Nevin Limburg: not since last fall. CM Call: we are legally obligated to pay the bill. It is an administrative function to work with Nevin on the billing.
6. Founders Day proposal for a 5K and 10K fun run. (Presenter: Doug Clifford)
CM Clifford presented a request from Coby Barker to hold a fun run in conjunction with the Founders Day celebration. The council had no objections to it but only to contact Scott Jackson and Paul Ellsworth for the coordination of it.
OTHER:
Mayor Wheelwright: I am concerned that things will fall through the cracks. I propose that we have, as a standing agenda item, reports from the council on their areas of responsibilities. Mayor Wheelwright suggested having the pledge of allegiance ceremony performed by scouting troops.
CM Humphreys: is there junk on our property, the property that was recorded to Pleasant View City from Shady Spring? I would like to see how much ground Shady Lane has for a parking lot, and I would like to see the parking lot built.
Adjournment: 9:35 P.M.
