Council reviewed fence permit from Jeff Locke of 540 N 5th Street. This permit includes a section of fence on his neighbor’s property to hook the new fence to neighbor’s existing fence. Conolly motions approval if Locke can either get his neighbor to submit a permit for these sections of fence, or move the fence on to his own lot line, seconded by Hayworth. Ayes, motion carries. Council reviewed the fence permit from Tim Gilles of 519 S. Pearl Street. The included paperwork shows the plat in a “draft” status and council has questions about whether the property belongs to Gilles or the Methodist Church. This permit is not approved at this time until the property lines are confirmed. Council reviews the fence permit from Matt Wright of 320 N 5th St. The permit application doesn’t include distance from lot lines. Mayor Fisher has talked to Wright and is aware of approximate distances and states they will be compliant. Conolly asks Fisher to confirm distances, have Wright add them to the permit and if compliant, then approve this permit application; seconded by Parks. Ayes, motion carries. Council reviews the fence permit from Brion Chute of 418 Miller Blvd. It is unverified if this fence is on the property line or not, so council denies until lot pins are found and this is confirmed. Hayworth motions to deny this permit, seconded by Conolly. Ayes, motion carries.
Guests present include Chad Thompson, Joe Barnes, Mike Weaver, and Judy Ericsson. During Open Forum, resident Judy Ericsson requests stop signs to be added at the corner of Jones Street and Pearl Street near her residence. There are currently stop signs for traffic heading North or South, but not East or West. There are many small children in the neighborhood and traffic has greatly increased due to nearby restaurant traffic. Council asks Police Chief Barnes to study the traffic in the area and make a recommendation about whether to add more stop signs to the intersection. She reports she has seen a problem with littering at the local parks recently and asks the council to put up signs that threaten a fine for littering.
Police Chief Joe Barnes gave a Police Department update. He is working to fill the Police Officer position. He had two interviews last week with candidates, and more planned for next week. Public Works Superintendent Mike Weaver gave a Public Works update. The parks committee has been interested in adding a hydration station along the walking trail near the Community Center. Weaver presented options and will continue looking at options. Clerk Peterson asked for the Council’s support in Moville Days planning and budgeting. Parks motions to approve paying Lindblom $500 for spot-a-pot rental and payment of $500 to the Sioux City Skate Association for their skateboard presentation and demonstration at the skate park, seconded by Malm. Ayes, motion carries. Council reviewed the employee hiring list for 2023 Haskell Pool.

Clerk Peterson will reach out to members there to garner interest and invite. The application period has closed and Peterson will compile applications and resumes and get them to the committee for review. No discussion on actual hiring or 28E contracts at this time.
