PRESENTATION FROM IMAGES IN TILE FOR MURAL

Sam Sturgis then presented the council with a proposal for a wall mural for our new Community Center. The proposal is for $25000. He stated that a mural this size usually runs about $50,000 and basically they are proposing to do it at a wholesale cost. He pointed out during the presentation that this mural will be on the wall as you first come into the building. There were questions about it being black & white, how big the pictures would be and what is the deadline for new pictures. Sam replied that October would be the deadline to allow for graphics to put it together. Steve said that the Museum group stated they would donate money to the Community Center. June Chenot agreed that they do beautiful work. The council all agreed it was a good idea. We can do it by purchase order and would do it in 3 stages (design, manufacturing and installation). The council gave Steve direction to proceed with the purchase orders.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Mike Talley stated that we received a letter regarding Fall Creek Estates. He is keeping Steve up to date on this issue. Part of the letter suggests that they would give us 4 lots to compensate for the money that is owed to the City on the sewer line that we put in. We were supposed to be reimbursed for our costs on that line. Steve is supposed to be putting together the value of those lots.

Steve then handed around a flyer that the Boy Scouts are working on for our trail. Curtis Ware is helping them put it together.

NEW BUSINESS

Richard Zaccardelli stated that they now have 170 members at the golf course. It is in the best shape it has been for the last 3 years.

Mark Powers said he read in the MML newsletter that golf carts are now legal on the streets. He asked if the city could draft an ordinance to let them on the street. There was a lot of discussion regarding this topic. It was stated that we need to make the adults responsible. The Code Review committee will look into it.

Steve then informed the council that we are having trouble getting bids on our repairs from the wind storm. Everyone is 4-8 weeks out. Steve said it has been suggested to him that we hire a temporary part time person to do the repairs needed. We have called our insurance company to see how that would affect our claim with them. We have not heard back yet. There was discussion about this process. It was stated that we need to get these items fixed and deal with the insurance company later. After more discussion Don Marshall motioned to hire temporary help to repair the damages from the wind storm.
