Developers Realty Group – Tabled until August meeting.
Communication Plan – Anderson suggested this communication plan as a way to help the council stay better informed since they only meet once a month. Administrator Clausen will send out weekly updates on committee meeting notes, department updates, street or railroad closures, any type of activity that may be of need to council.
Mayor Comments: Would like council to begin thinking about where we could find a place to locate a new burn pile.
Councilmember Comments: Ohlson updated council on the Boone County Trails Initiative. Anderson spoke to Norm Hill about the Ogden signage. He did reach out to prison industries and she is waiting on a call back. She would also like to begin some planning work on the Howe property. Weber has reached out to North Central Turf to see if they could give us a lead or info on the Howe property as well. Liston went with Legacy to Humboldt to see the Soyland Homes and was impressed with them. She does believe one has been sold in Ogden. The garden is looking good and she would use some of the wood chips. Clausen shared a letter from Mike Wagner on the need for handicap parking spaces at Water’s Edge Church. Council does not have a problem with them blocking off areas themselves on Sunday or if we designate more areas on the west side as handicap.
Public Comment. Dave Huntley did have some complaints about fireworks over the fourth of July. Does not think we get the word out enough that they are not allowed in Ogden. He believes the local department should also be working over the holiday. He thanked the city for the clean up with the trees due to the recent storm.
Motion by Anderson, seconded by Weber to adjourn at 7:54 p.m.
Ayes: All Present, Motion Carried.
Mark Trueblood, Mayor
