REGULAR AGENDA Code Enforcement Hearing Codes Enforcement Officer Linda Morrison presented a complete copy of the code enforcement file on the property owned by Jeffrey Slentz at 4807 NW Hillside Dr., for the Board and Mayor to review. Morrison walked the Board thru the file and issues being presented to them, including that the truck was not properly licensed and that city code prohibits this type of truck being stored on private property. City Attorney Thompson stated that the house numbering violation has been resolved. Mr. Slentr was asked to come before the Board and present information. He said that the truck has been licensed, that he had owned the truck less than a week when he received the notice. He has found another place to store the vehicle. Mr. Slentz does not live in the home, it needs to be rebuilt, but he owns the home. His plans are to build 3 a house on the lot. The truck was in the driveway. Mayor Rose asked if Mr. Slentz had communicated this information to the Codes Officer, that the truck was new, etc. Mr. Slentz said that he had several loads of brush cut from the property and after some loads were hauled away, he received a"nasty gram" for having brush on his trailer and a boat parked in the driveway during the winter. Mr. Slentz said he did not contact the codes officer when he received the current notice. Mayor Rose stated that it seems he has everything taken care of, but if there had been better communication about the violations Mr. Slentz would not have to be here tonight. Mr. Slentz stated that he prefers dealing with concerns in writing rather than verbally.

Yes: Thatcher, Cope, Fuller, DeRose, Homer, and Super. Motion carried 6-0. Mr. Slentz stated that he feels he is being singled out and picked on. He also stated that at some point it is a fifth-amendment right violation, enjoying your own property as long as you don't encroach on property rights of others. Alderman Cope and Mayor Rose commented that is definitely not the case. Most of the Aldermen have received violations too and definitely communication can help. The Board's decision does not allow Mr. Slentz to store the vehicle on the property in the future.

Brief discussion was held and the Board agreed to stay with the current evaluation system for one more year. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Director Mike Duffy gave update on a lot that was purchased on Dakota Court several years ago. It was put out once and no closing was ever done. We are going to put this out for bid again. We have had some interest in this lot. ENGINEERING Capital Projects Engineer Travis Hoover brought back prices and options for the old annex parking lot. There is a concrete bump out there and snowplow issues causing maintenance problems. That was the reason for the desire to pave the area. One of the cheapest options would be to haul out gravel and put seed down at a cost of approximately $10,000. If we go with sod it would be approximately another $10,000. Following discussion of many options including rocks, green space, future building site, Travis was directed to wait until fall and seed with funds from the 2012 Street Maintenance budget. FINANCE Brent Miles with NorthPoint gave his yearly update for the Board including the quarterly report explaining milestones for the Horizons area. A handout was given to the Board and Mayor.

Approximately 20 hours a week during a certain time of the year, to make the trails safe and groomed. Public Works would not be able to provide the same service as Mr. Wilkey is able to provide or at the same cost. Tom and Mike are going to work together and get details in writing, so that all rights and responsibilities, insurance, etc. are all in place and bring it back to the board.

They are a nation-wide company doing electronic waste, in the Belgium Bottoms and look forward to getting them involved in our recycling events.
