Public Comments: Lonalee Hoogland, resident @ 711 13th Street is wanting a report on what progress the city has made on the nuisance complaints on 13th Street.
Mike Tornatore, Deputy Clerk, explained that we have gotten our city attorney involved and we have taken pictures of all properties involved in the complaint. The next step is to send out certified letters to the property owners stating that they have 30 days to comply with the clean-up of their properties. If property owners fail to comply the city will take appropriate action.
Lonalee Hoogland also inquired about the progress on the water line replacement project on Joshua Street and 13th Street.
Mayor Heater explained that the company we hired had withdrew their bid due to more pressing work commitments and a lack of employees, so we are going to have to repost the job and start the process over to find another contractor.
Mayor Heater expressed concern about the logging trucks using Main and 5th to get to HWY 162. The weight of these trucks is too much and is tearing up the streets. She talked about getting a sign preventing them from using this route and to continue to use Hill and 5th.
