PAVING (BLOCK-ADDITION) OUTSIDE GRANT (JOHN BERRY): Mayor Meyer stated that he didn’t think adding an additional block (initially identified as Douglas between 1st and 2nd , with water crossing and concrete needs / approx. cost of $50,000 reported by John Berry) was feasible at this time. Council member Reedy stated he felt it should be “put on the back burner”, pending close of grant work and further review. Remaining members agreed. Also, it is not yet known if the Church wishes to proceed with work as priced in approximation by Gilmore, ($3,500 and $3,000?) and which would need to be done “outside the grant process.”
ARMOR COATING PROJECTS/OPTIONS: All members were in agreement with decision to take advantage of the County “Continuous Road” armor coating project option ($11,000 @ mile) as applies to Blue Springs Streets (Cemetery Road to Broad; Hwy to Walnut (traffic lanes) ; River Road/Broad). The County is to bill the municipality for work done.
ORDINANCE #454 - STOP SIGNS: A draft of Resolution (not Ordinance) - # 2016-5 as prepared by Attorney Carothers was reviewed by Mayor and Council. Changes/additions were made to include other locations. All areas were identified as : 1st and Johnson (NW corner/SE corner) -- 1st and Douglas (SE Corner, NW corner -- 2nd Street - Douglas (NE corner, east) -- Jones & Wilson (NW corner) -- requested by Steve Pomeroy. Employee Pike was asked to order Stop signs (10).
CITY CELEBRATION, MISC. ASPECTS AS NECESSARY: Council member Reedy indicated that he (and primarily Tim Brown) were pursuing sponsorship for the trophies for this year’s event (which would result in considerable savings to City). Reedy also advised that the tree behind the cabin has been planted and requested that the hydrant be turned on (and padlocked) so the tree could be watered. Steve Pomeroy suggested addition of a “lawn mower pull.” Consideration will be given. Council member Neumann (and Connie Mewes) gave information about plans for the memorial-type plaques (tractor show) for Harold Seachord, Gary Neumann, and John Carmichael. Alternate days scheduling of the event was discussed, but is still under review. Participation aspects by the Fire Department were mentioned but are presently undecided/unknown.
MFA AGREEMENT: No new information.
PLANNING AND ZONING: No new applications.

Reference to the grant application by members followed, and advisement by Mayor Meyer was that the street in questions was not on the list due to “width and easement requirements.” It was noted that there was a possibility, though slight, of work being done on the street “after and outside the grant” depending on financial strength and review of remaining needs of Municipality at the close of 15 PW-015. The Chabs also requested Stop Signs (Johnson-Douglas-1st area), and a request will be forwarded to Attorney Carothers to inform him and suggest/request preparation of an ordinance.

SWEEPER, AVAILABLITY/PURCHASE AUTHORIZATION LIMIT: Decision of members was to contact Wymore (Pike), to inquire as to the possibility and cost of Wymore sweeping necessary Blue Springs streets in preparation for the Memorial Day weekend and the Annual Celebration weekend, this in lieu of purchasing equipment. However, review will continue for equipment, and purchase may be pursued if a cost-effective option is located.
MFA AGREEMENT: Not yet received.
CHURCH MEN’S GROUP (REQUESTED BY ROD WARFORD): David Canfield addressed members, stating that a recent “Chili Feed resulted in funds the group would like to make available for Blue Springs Park improvements,” and he identified proposed work as “redo/repair seesaws, the weekend after Easter” and “take down the big swing set” which can no longer be used for initial intent (Pike) because of regulations. Members were in agreement for the group to proceed. Employee Pike indicated he would be available to some extent on site to give guidance and answer questions. Mayor Meyer and Council expressed gratitude to the group for the proposed work.
ARMOR COATING (REQUESTED BY PIKE): Pike told of the need for armor coating on Walnut Street. John Hill advised of a County project (Topkote) which is planned to include: Barneston road to Liberty, Wymore Golf Course - west, Wymore Cemetery road, Blue Springs Cemetery road, River Road between Wymore and Blue Springs, and could include Walnut Street within the proposed bid price of $11,000 a mile (if materials consistent with the project). The County project is to begin in May. If Blue Springs would like to take advantage of inclusion in the “continuous road” (Hill) project, the County would “add it and bill Blue Springs” accordingly. Members discussed alternate binding material options (gravel/rock), and since armor coating was last done in 2012, (Meyer) - “It is time to consider doing it all over at this time.” Council member Reedy stressed time constraints which impact upon decisions. Due to regulatory obligation as well as time limitation, options of bid-letting and creation of separate projects were offered for discussion. Pike will make contacts ( John Hill, John Berry, Topkote) to identify and provide factors in support of decisions. Mayor Meyer will confer with Attorney Carothers to discuss legalities of the situation.
Pike described problems on Walnut Street, which included information about a permit he received from the State for the City to pay for and replace tubes (plastic - Orch.) to effect alleviation of drainage problems there, but Pike suggested further evaluation should be done at the time of the next rain. Mayor Meyer stated he wondered “if the repairs were a Municipal responsibility.” Pike advised that “barricading the street by State” was a verbalized possibility alternative. Carmichael inquired as to whether the property owner to benefit primarily from new drainage tubes might have some financial obligation in the matter.
Contacts and review of matters will continue.
Pike added that he will be going to Lincoln soon to get a pallet of crack sealer.
PLANNING AND ZONING: Two building permit applications were approved at the “special” Planning & Zoning meeting of March 14th, and referred to Council. The following determinations/approvals were made: Motion, second, vote (Mewes, Carmichael, 4-0 affirmative to approve Alan/Janet Rienche fence. Motion, second, vote (Mewes, Neumann, 4-0 affirmative to approve United Methodist Church fence. Applicants will be notified to approval and fees.

He added that the media did not fully report his comments, leaving out his view that benefit would be derived and clean-up projects simplified if those who purchased tax deeds/mortgages could be held responsible for clean-up issues on acquired properties.
