CDBG PROJECT # 15 PW-015: ANY PERTINENT INFORMATION: No activity.
PLANNING AND ZONING: Advisement by Attorney Carothers: Nuisance violation (clean-up) not an acceptable stipulation for disapproval of an application for a building permit, except in such case as directly linked to workmanship or materials of the building project itself. Connie Mewes (P&Z member) expressed concern regarding various non-compliance situations. Advisement of Attorney: Since no official Building Code is in place, restrictions (aside from set-back, and measures of “cease and desist” of construction prior to application approval) though advisable, are not fully enforceable. Primary corollary of Municipal building permits - to get property improvements on County tax records.
DANGEROUS DOGS (FOLLOW-UP AS NECESSARY): City Attorney to share latest dog incident report (upon receipt from Gus) with Mayor and Council.
EQUIPMENT (AS NECESSARY): No relevant issues.
CLEAN-UP: Attorney Carothers to check on property transfer for the only issue on the clean-up list.

Following statement of options: (Mewes - need mower more. 361 days of year sweeper would not be in use.) - (Carmichael - possible to pursue outside sweeping service.) - (Reedy - more streets paved now, more use for sweeper) - (Neumann - decent sweeper would be used more often), discussion to arrive at a purchase authority amount began: (Reedy - suggested $18,000; Mewes - suggested under $10,000; Carmichael - thought $5,000, but not outside the $8,000- $10,000 range and stated that getting one here would be a problem; Neumann - told that getting a good machine would be better than getting a cheaper one that could cost more in maintenance.
The current purchase prospect was discussed: 2007 Freightliner Street Sweeper (Gering Redi-Mix) on Purple Wave (auction ending Tuesday) , and which currently has a bid price of $5,800. Members suggested that Pike could go Monday to evaluate the sweeper.

Applicant will be notified of approval and fee. Members addressed a problem created when a shipping container was brought onto a property.

He will write a letter to request the owner to remove the container from the property and the Municipality.

Carothers advised that photographs (time/date noted by neighbors) would support legal action. 2) Second letter (warning of filing a court complaint) to address relocation of a previously designated dangerous dog from the Municipality.

Council member Carmichael indicated he wanted whatever was the “best benefit to the town.” He said he had spoken with a Wymore Council member, and from that conversation determined there might be a possibility of hiring Wymore for Blue Springs street sweeping needs. Employee Pike identified a problem in that regard, stating that wear and tear on the Wymore equipment was a valid concern which could well prohibit Wymore from entering into an arrangement with Blue Springs. Buying at auction was discussed. Procedure which might be utilized was: Determination of specific-cap purchase authority for a person designated to bid at auction, or calling a special meeting (3-day advance posting required) when a promising purchase option arises.
CLEAN-UP: A burn-site clean up issue was discussed, with Attorney Carothers reporting a potential mid-to-late January court date. Council member Reedy indicated that he was in the process of purchasing the property and cleaning it up. A title search is underway. The complaint will be dropped against the current property owner when purchase is official.
