Guests:
June and Denny Dorsten were present to express their concern about the village junk problem. June stated that we can make people clean up their properties. She addressed a problem with livestock in the village.
Mayor Terry Seibert stated that we have a pride problem, not trash problem. We will look into the livestock issue.
The village offers a cleanup day twice every year with three dumpsters and people still don't bring their stuff. We do brush clean up the night before the cleanup day.
Lisa Dorsten - If we have ordinances in place, and aren't enforcing them, why did the ATM people have to pay for a variance.
Jackie Cox said she was here two years ago and the problems are the same.
Residents should bring the complaints to council and council can send a letter. The complaint should include the name and addresses of the party that is in violation. Sheriff's department will not enforce our ordinances.
Marge Trisel stated her concerns about offering free dumpsters for cleanup day and the junk in yards. She sited her subdivision regulations.
Income tax was mentioned. We have tried in the past, but it is voted down on the ballot.
Bruce Rickard is in favor of income tax.
Matt Dorsten stated his concerns of campers with people living in them and where is the sewer going. Can Josh check into them being hooked up?
Josh said it would be really hard to tell if they were dumping it and then sealing it back up. If they were dumping it on the ground it would be the smell.
You cannot live in a trailer or camper on someone else's property.
There was some discussion about sex offenders. State law dictates where sex offenders can live. Pete encouraged everyone to read the state statute. School and daycare are the things that limit where they can live. We don't have these school and daycare. Pete said that codes change all the time.
When we write a letter, we include the violated ordinance.
These letters work a lot of the time. Some people do ignore them.
Residents can give complaints with names to the council.
Marge - add $5 to utility bill to clean up the town. Cancel the dumpsters. See how it works out.
Not fair that she has to pay for the dumpster when she isn't using them.
Jackie Cox stated that a neighbor got a letter, cleaned a little, then stopped. He knows that no one is going to do anything about it. He also has bon fires. Lucas gave the regulations for open fire and the proper procedure to report the fire. Call 911 and they will come.
Niel Loll - We have a fine for the people that have to pay if they are in violation. Could we increase the amount? No, Pete said there are caps on the fee amounts.
Pete stated that no citizen has ever filed a complaint in municipal court. We have said for years that this is the process.
Can we go back on the landlords for these violations? Yes, and we have. The landlord and property owner have to care.
Bonita feels that people are bringing in junk because they can.
Marilyn Sheets stated that the owners of the house that burnt beside them refuses to get the house taken care of.
Marilyn Rhulen stated her concerns for the village. It makes her sad to see the town like this.
Pete referenced the junk cars that we settled with the person on Main Street. Council took care of this issue. Please tell us a person that you want us to send a letter to and council will send one.
Terry stated that he understands that people are going to leave this meeting unsatisfied. He is from this town and loves this town too.
Carl Frank says it is a problem and we have to do something about it.
Pete said to pick a project and let's tackle it.
