Mayor Waechtler said, “When you
u take someone’s freedom of choice away
. from them, they have nothing. There
were a lot of kids and adults that were
excited about going on trek and it got
> cancelled. It’s about the same time, so it
would be kind of nice to have something
at the: same time. I think we should even
have a little radio advertising for it too.”
The FY. 2018-2019 Financial Au-
dit of City Funds performed by Gary
H. Teuscher, CPA was tabled until the
next meeting~ when it will be easier to
go over in person, if the council is able
to meet in person. Or, they may hold-
a special meeting just for this subject.
Transfer of City Funds from Water
8: Sewer to General was not discussed.
The council then discussed a resident
who wants to put up an eight-foot fence
on his property which borders the high-
way because of the noise traffic makes.
The ordinance only allows for a four-

foot fence. He would have to come be-
. fore the council and have it approved.-
Secretary Nate then mentioned that
Dan Shirley had asked if the council could
send Steve Oliver a letter and a clean-up
flyer because he has garbage in a truck
that “smells.” She asked the council if they
need to “help” him. Mayor Waechtler
said that he will take care of it personally.
Mayor Waechtler then said the city
cleanup was a success. The dumpsters
filled up in about four hours. He said
that next year they may need to get four
dumpsters instead of two. It was also men-
tioned that this year they had a garbage
receptacle which was good. Clerk Smith
mentioned that She had people say we
should have the cleanup again in the fall.
The mayor said he would see what the bill
came to and then decide. Clerk Smith said
the bill came to $245, so the mayor said
there is a possibility of doing it twice a year.
Clerk smith commented. that
there was not much on the po-
lice report, so it was not discussed.
For the maintenance report, Shane
7161-1
Clark reported that he has been working
with the backhoe service at Matt’s house.
Water has been found and they will be in-
stalling some time this Week. They have a
little problem with the sewer around that
area. They have dug various trenches and
finally looked at the manhole and found it
was never plumbed into the manhole. In
talking to Doug, they can use the sewer
pipes by the hydrant and tie into the sewer
line. ‘What he needed to know is how the
City wants to proceed with having them
do part of the work or having Matt do it
because his equipment is there. Mayor
Waechtler said he would be okay with
letting Matt do it with Shane overseeing
it using Matt’s equipment. Councilman
Kunz asked how much Matt would do and
be responsible for. Shane responded that
he would probably do about 100 or so feet.
They haven’t taped it off yet. He said that
Matt would do part of the work with him
helping him. Then he would continue to
dig the trench and the city would charge
for the pipe. The mayor said that if Matt
is helping with the city’s part, then the
city should have to pay Shane, just not as
much. The city shouldn’t pay Matt to help,
and he isn’t expecting them to pay, he just
wants to get in there and get it done. The
city would still need to pay Shane for his
time for the city’s portion of it. The home-
owner still has to pay for the sewer hook-
up plus whoever is doing it. Plus, he has
to pay for the labor and the hours it takes
to do it. He has to pay a sewer hookup fee.
The water hookup is on his property there
now. He still has to pay the $1,500 buy-in
hookup fee, or impact fee, to use the water.
As far as a maintenance report, Shane
didn’t have much to report. He said,
however, that Tee Steadman wanted
him to bring up that he had a resident
who wants to put a four-way stop sign
by Chuck Sim’s place (W 4th Street and
West Street). They are worried about
traffic there with kids. People are “flying
up and down that road.” It was decided
they will talk about it at the next coun-
cil meeting with a couple of other ideas.
