<br />Motion by Council Member Sweeney. seconded by Council Member <br />Broussard Vickers to approve the Hunter's Crossing expenditures in the <br />amount of $184.945.15. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />VIII. PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson stated she received a complaint from Dan Skoog who <br />complained he is sick and tired of dogs and cats running wild and going to the <br />bathroom in his yard. He said dogs are also being allowed to run around off leash <br />at the park. Council Member Nelson told him it was cost prohibitive to send a <br />flier to everyone in the City and agreed to recommend that Council request the <br />police be diligent in picking up strays. <br /> <br />Mr. Skoog also complained of many homes and yards needing maintenance in the <br />City. He had a few specific concerns on Peltier Lake Drive and Council Member <br />Nelson said she would recommend Council take a look to see if these properties <br />needed to be cited for ordinance violations. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber stated rather than have the Council drive around looking for <br />properties in violation of various ordinances it was normal procedure to have the <br />Public Works Director or the building inspector take a look and recommend <br />Council take action if they feel it is needed. He then stated he believes there are <br />senior citizens in town that need assistance with yard and house maintenance. <br />Maybe a volunteer group could be utilized to help them. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber stated he has already informed the police department to be on <br />the look out for strays and to pick them up. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she is not interested in making the <br />determination of which houses are in need of repair and she would prefer the City <br />use the established procedure. She stated the newsletter should contain a note <br />about the leash law to remind the residents. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney said he would like to see the animal ordinance <br />enforced but indicated people need to be responsible to report them and follow <br />procedure. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers agreed people need to take some of the <br />responsibility to change the situation. <br /> <br />Mr. March state he told the caller that it was up to him to call the police and <br />report a stray dog in order to have it picked up. <br /> <br />Page 15 of22 <br />
