City Attorney Karen Wiggum and City Clerk, Peggy McArthur. Meeting was called to Order by Mayor, Don Crain. Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as presented. Motion was made by Les Young, seconded by Dick McGraw and passed unanimously. Bills and accounts were approved as submitted. Motion was made by Les Young, seconded by James Morris and passed unanimously. Councilman Dick McGraw said there is a problem with the traffic light loop at Eastmont and Grant Road. The problem appears to be with the light and not ground loops which were discussed at an earlier meeting. The cost to repair the light will be approximately $2,500.00. The Council unanimously approved the expenditure. Karen Wiggum handed out a preliminary sign code ordinance for review by the Council and Nick Wiltz and asked that it be put on the agenda for July 17th. Karen Wiggum said she had talked with Laurie Evenhus, Douglas County Auditor, trying to get a feeling concerning the Flood Control Issue. She stated it was too late to get it on the Sept. Ballot and after talking with Jerry Litt, Douglas County Planner, 'his consensus was that the County may not put the issue on the ballot as there will be two other levies on the ballot and they don't want this flood control issue competing with those levies. Karen said there is another alternative. Counties and Cities can impose a Real Estate Excise Tax. Mayor Crain said he was not in favor of imposing more taxes. Tery McKee said if the County and City do not do something soon concerning the flood control issue, the County will lose its funding and the City can not put the issue on the ballot if the County doesn't. Tery also said the County and City can get a 1 percent Int. loan through the public works trust fund if the quarter cent excise tax is in place and the flood issue was defeated by the voters three years ago and could possibly go down in defeat again. He said the projct would cost over three million and the County and City can not afford to bear the cost. Mayor Crain again stated that the City residents do not need any additional taxes and stated that the City is not going to be blackmailed. After it was learned that the Council has until Sept. 19th to finalize the issue, the Council agreed to discuss it again at the next meeting and in the meantime asked Karen Wiggum to research it further. After reviewing a Resolution, repealing Res. No. 84-4, limiting department head expenditures, it was agreed by the Council that the Resolution did not need to be repealed as it did not limit elected officials to stay within the $250.00 expenditure. An Ordinance stating an intent of the City to initiate the annexation process necessary to join the Douglas County Fire Protection District No. 2 was reviewed by the Council. Mayor Crain said the city cannot continue to pay the 80,000.00 to 100,000.00 since losing Federal Shared Revenue money. Karen Wiggum said the City would be committed for three years at a time if annexed into the Fire District, so at a future date, the City could still have its own Fire Protection. Mayor Crain explained that the City has no problem with the service provided by the Fire 1 kLsnowLueun passed pup aalloW RAal kq pap as °pauunoC a aq 6u,�aaw aq4 4eq; UOL40W P apew MPu90W JOLa °ssauLsnq ,aaq;,an; ou 6uLaq auaq; pu u0 s 1PLn6au o;uL jopq 6uL;aaw aq; paLLeo uLPAD Aoipw •sa4nuLw uaa4jLj upg4 ,aa6uoL ou aIPg PLnogs 4e4; uoL3p6L4LL 6uLpuad aLgLssod P ssnosLp 01 6uL}aaw anL;noaxa up uo4 paLLeo uof'eW aql •6uLl9aw jxau ago 4e suoL4sa66ns PUP sjuawwoo ALa44 gjLM japq awoo pup aj.anq/LLauuo33W kq pauLL}no sJuawanoudwL oLLgnd pue uoLgPoLpap RPM-10 -446LJ la9J;S .ao} 93UPULPJO pasodoud P MaLna.a 04 FaUJ044y k4L3 ag; paAsp LLounoa aqj.
