The meeting last night was fairly uneventful from what I can gather. I am out of town again, but here is what I understand happened. I'll review the tape later and add anything that might be missing. It's always best to attend yourself if you can! ~ Karen
The agenda was changed to accommodate some of the presenters, namely Steve Taylor (town maintainance) and Don Torbet (fire chief), so they could address their issues first and head home. Steve is opposed to the dog park as proposed north of the current playfield. The item was removed from the adgena and will be discussed later.
Under business items:
1) Ordinance 1269: General Penalty - passed with no public comment.
2) Ordinance 1270: Dog/Parks - delayed
3) Ordinance 1271: Reinhold Settlement - the only public comment was asking if the $125,000 was the full settlement amount. This amount is only the town's portion, more money will come from other sources (perhaps insurance).
4) Ordinance 1272: Budget for Engineering Services - first reading, so no action
5) Resolution 435: Engineering Contract - Hedrick will contact the engineering firm to discuss mileage issues.
6) HazMat Agreement - Police chief to review
7) Infectious Waste Agreement - Police chief to review
9) Civil Service Training: Chair Connie Magoline was the only one that attending the training. She felt the training was helpful and provided good information.
Mayor's Time:
The mayor gave an update on his ongoing meetings with the Commencement & Point Ruston. He also replied to Stebner that whomever the new Mayor may be he would help transition them to understand the new budget. He wants the Master Licensing Service to take over our business licensing duties. They have the ability to cross check state registered businesses with Ruston addresses to ensure all the businesses in town are registered. The service would only cost $9 so the town could just charge each licensee an extra $9.
Council time:
Hunt noted that Point Ruston on the tax roles for 2009 with a value of about $16 million.
