Voice vote taken, all voted yes, motion passes, <br />a nine month Golf Course fee will be added to the fee schedule. <br /> <br />Election Recap November 2, 2021 <br />Mayor Artig-Swomley stated that the turnout was fantastic. The election judges were a little worried <br />about parking and were hoping to ask Wilbert Plastics for future elections if it is ok to use their parking <br />lot for overflow parking. The judges are most concerned about future presidential elections. <br /> <br />Interim Use Permit Request by John Birkeland <br />After review from the Planning Commission on November 3, 2021 for John Birkeland’s request to <br />construct a parking lot for the display of automobiles being sold at his business across the street, CarFit. <br />The proposed lot would have 22 stalls for displaying of vehicles.
