<br />Council Member Broussard Vickers noted Council has discussed the issue of allowing <br />more than one (1) garbage hauler in the past and it was decided to allow one (1) hauler. <br />This is a very good incentive for Waste Management to provide excellent customer <br />service in order to ensure their contract will be renewed. <br /> <br />2. Letter from Mrs. Camp-Baron <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg explained the Barons have asked to receive an extension on the 60-day <br />time frame to clean up their lot and bring it into compliance with Ordinance #4 due to <br />snow and ice. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra questioned whether anyone has checked the condition of the <br />property since the Barons were notified to clean it up. Mr. Palzer indicated the 60-day <br />period expires on January 12, 2001 and he had intended to call the Barons to set up an <br />appointment to inspect the property the following week. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra questioned whether there was someone who knew what it looked <br />like initially so they would be able to tell if progress had been made. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis indicated the City has pictures of the condition of the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Ray DeVine, 1695 Main Street, stated the Barons have cleaned up several items and <br />appear to be making progress. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers inquired as to whether Council has the authority to <br />grant the extension and ifit does, what sort of precedence would it set. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft stated that Council does have the authority to grant the extension. He then <br />recommended letting the 60-day time period expire, Mr. Palzer inspect the property to <br />determine whether the issues are weather related, and Council consider the extension. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Nelson. seconded bv Council Member Broussard <br />Vickers to direct Staff to inspect the Baron property after the expiration of the 60- <br />day time period to determine whether there is valid reason to believe further clean <br />up is bein!: impeded by weather. All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv. <br /> <br />IX. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Downtown Snow Removal <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg explained there is a safety issue for children getting to school due to the <br />build up of snow on sidewalks in the downtown area. There are also issues of downtown <br />parking if there are windrows of snow, the cars park farther and farther away from the <br />curb into the street, which creates a hazard. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated that the Mayor and several business owners had met on Monday to <br />discuss snow removal issues at the comer of Centerville Road and Main Street. In the <br />last couple of days there have been several instances in the news of cities having issues <br />with downtown snow removal so this is not a problem specific to Centerville.
