Mr. Gary Brogan –

  • Presentation on upcoming Plant Facility Election

Victor Reese –

  • Property Line / Easement: Land doesn’t affect the City.  Mayor offered to personally purchase an acre of land for access into BLM property for $5000.00.  He also offered to survey the property.  The Council discussed and thought that since it didn’t benefit the City as a whole, it wouldn’t be possible for the City to do anything.  Victor said he thought the Sewer/Water trade-off as requested previously wouldn’t be possible.  Victor is open to further discussion after a survey.  He has made a formal request that we work on this.  We will look into easement information and provide it to Victor Reese.  We also need to get the Cemetery District involved.  The Council gives the Mayor permission to investigate this further.

Mayoral Business –

  • Status on Surplus of State property- still pending
  • Doran Smith wages—Marilyn Wilkes will call and notify him that wages of $16.00 per hour as of February 2018 were approved.

Motion to give Doran Smith an increase to $16.00 per hour starting February 1, 2018 for snow plowing, using his better judgement.

Rich Kearl, Dan Porter, Vote Unanimous

  • Ambulance Garage: We will not deed land for the Ambulance Garage.  They are anxious to stay in City of Bloomington.
