Public Comment
Linda Mergl needs maintenance to come work on and mow her corner. A property on 4th that has dangerous loose tin roofing and a feral cat problem were brought up. We were asked about building permits for an address on 4th that has been added onto twice with no permits posted. The owner also stated he did his own electrical, resident is concerned about a fire hazard. Could we post upcoming town events on our website or the back of water bills? Could we add a section to our website that local vendors could purchase and post information about their business'(Deer Trail only)?
Mayor Behrens Adjourned the meeting at 8:34 p.m.
