• 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. AB in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> VIII. PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS <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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> Council Member Broussard Vickers agreed people need to take some of the <br /> responsibility to [ change the situation. <br /> Mr. March statl 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 /> Page 15 of 22 <br />
