OLD BUSINESS

Mr. Bauer announced that after legal research, the city council has decided that Charles Brainte, C & D Amusement will be required to purchase a coin-op license.

Mr. Stephens reported that the snow removal ordinance (Code 12-24-100) deals mainly with rubbish to be removed from city sidewalks, not snow.  The main problem the city street crews are having on snow removal, is that several businesses are having their parking lot cleared and dumped into the city streets.  Mr. Thede will continue to work with these businesses to stop the problem.

NEW BUSINESS

Mayor Berget read a letter from Chris & Teri Noble asking that the city council consider selling a piece of city property to them for a new home.

Mr. Stephens moved to not sell this piece of property to the Nobles.

Mr. Sorensen seconded.

Motion carried.

D.C. Orr approached the council on available space at the Industrial Park site.  Matter was put into the Building/Industrial Park Committee.  Mayor Berget reminded him that the city had not taken ownership of this property from WR Grace.

Mr. Orr also asked that the July 6th, 2000 minutes (see *) be corrected to read as follows:  backhoe was accidentally dumped into an old septic system on the employees property, to backhoe was accidentally dumped into an old septic system on private property.

Mr. Rostorfer asked Mayor Berget where tonight’s meeting had been posted.
