Motion by Ohlson, seconded by Anderson to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 269 pertaining to alcoholic beverage control.
Ayes: All Present, Motion carried.
Nate Guess, president of the Highbridge Trailblazers Snowmobile Club, asked council for approval to mark a route into Ogden from the north to the Lucky Pig. After discussion it was decided they can ride on the right of way with traffic from N. 1st Street to East Cherry, then east to the alley between NE 3rd and NE 4th Street, south to E. Locust and then west on E. Locust to N. 1st Street, then south across the tracks and park in the city parking lot on the corner of Walnut and N. First Street. When leaving town, they shall follow the same route but remain on the right of way with traffic on N. 1st from Cherry St. to the edge of town.
Scheduled budget work sessions for January.
Council discussed the request to begin charging for services the fire department performs for those that do not reside within our fire district. Boone has a similar fee schedule. Council agreed to allow pursuing a code or resolution to approve. This will be added to the agenda when ready.
Council approved to change the regular council meeting dates in February and March to the first Tuesday of each month, February 7th and March 7th at 6:00 p.m.
Mayor Trueblood and the councilmembers thanked Police Chief Mick Bailey for his 35 years of service. Enjoy retirement Mick!
Council comments: Lori updated the council on the community garden. Many homes and families were delivered over 2,600 pounds of vegetables. She thanked those involved with weeding, harvesting and delivering as well as those who provided equipment and water. They would like to find a more permanent location for the garden. Many thanks to Margaret and Gerald for use of their land and all their work at the garden. Lori also updated council on her Questers group. They met with Dan at Lincoln Prairie Park and would like to help to improve the park. They had many ideas and thoughts for improvement. They are applying for a grant to help with costs.
Public comments: Nate Guess spoke to the council about his concerns with outdoor construction by one of our utility providers. They end outdoor construction services October 1st. The council appreciates his concerns and the information but has no control over the utility.
