Minutes-05/07/1969

Bill Brown has received complaints from residents about the sewage tanks at the Co-Op. He has been assured by the Co-Op they will contain only L1 gas and will not contaminate the streets. Discussion was held concerning the sheriff's patrol along the streets. Ted Oliver mentioned the possibility of having a local sheriff patrol the streets. Mayor Brown will call Sheriff Schneider in regard to the matter. Mayor Brown read a letter from the Iowa State Department of Health. They had not received reports from the last inspection report for December, 1960. Delaine said he had gone to prison to them, because they hadn't sent him a bottle to collect a sample. The Clerk will send a letter to Hayes High asking him what the approximate water consumption will be for the new high school and the grade school. Ted Oliver made the motion to renew Clay Ruben's permit for Pauline Oliver. Fred Moore seconded it. All in favor. Ned Allen brought up discussion on the payment of $350.00 to the Johnson County Board of Health. Ned Allen made a motion to disapprove being a member of it. This was decided because at this time it is impossible to meet the requirements because of a limited budget. Fred Moore seconded the motion. All in favor. The Clerk will send a letter to the Board of Health asking that the Town be dropped from membership. The moving of Ingham's property was discussed. There has been no oral agreement between the Town and Mr. Ingham that the Town would help him properly moved in exchange for the use of it as a playground. The children will be using the facilities at the new high school and will no longer be using his property. Ned Allen moved and Ted Oliver seconded the motion to have the Clerk write Mr. Ingham informing him the Town will no longer use his property. All in favor. He will be advised in writing if it moved so close it's creating a nuisance. Ned Allen moved and Fred Moore seconded the motion to authorize Delaine to purchase rye and brown gravel seed for the drainage ditch. All in favor. Bill Helton would like to have a six inch tube installed on the east side of his house to provide for off street parking. The Town provides one tube for each lot with a dwelling on it. Any other tubes must be paid for by the owner, but the Town will help install it. It has to be a steel tube of adequate size. Ted Oliver moved and Dale Flensburg seconded the motion to have Mr. Helton buy his own tube, but the Town will help with the installation. All in favor.
