All Aye. RE: PROBLEM OF PARKING CARS ON RICHMAN PROPERTY Lynn Davenport was at the meeting to discuss again the problem with the parking of cars from Tri State Tire on the Richman property. The mayor told him that Mary Smith had written a letter to them and they had a reply (on file). We had not had time to reply. The mayor reminded Mr. Davenport that at the previous meeting he had stated that the lot had been cleaned up and looked better, he wondered if we could make a temporary thing of their parking there if the lot was kept clean. Mr. Davenport said the problem with that is that a temporary thing could turn into a permanent arrangement and he wanted the property to stay zonded R2. The mayor instructed Mary Smith to look up the ordinance and see what can be done and also contact Mr. Richman. RE: VACANT LOT TO BE MADE INTO PARK Cheryl Graham and Mary Hackins was at the meeting. They live on Linden Ave., across the street is a vacant lot owned by Dar Mickelsen. They had approached him and ask him if he would be willing to let them improve the lot and plant grass on it, and ask him if he would clean the lot and level it. He has been doing this... They would like to know how they could proceed with it, because it is a huge lot. They would like to ask the council if the city would provide water, and they would water it. The mayor said he would propose that the city put in one or two hydrants. It will be an Eagle Project and the boys will plant the grass and mow it. The mayor stated that Randall Porter owns the lot on 2nd East, where the Hud Offices were, and approached him about doing the same thing on that lot. He has had Randy Luke come in and level it and take all the rocks out. He is going to get all the neighbors to go in and clean the lot up. If we do it we could maybe furnish water to a number of vacant lots, it would be a good project to keep the city looking good. We would take the hydrant out in the winter so it would not freeze up. De Lynn said there would be no problem in getting the water. Morgan Garner questioned that the pro- perty owners was getting the benefit of it because it is improving his property and he should be willing to pay for the water after it is put in. The mayor said he would talk to them about paying for the water. A motion was made by Nile Boyle that the city provide the water if the property is improved ready for planting. Seconded by Morgan Garner. All Aye. RE: REPORT ON GROUTING The mayor reported that the some areas that couldn't be go up there in the morning RE: LID REPORT people doing the grouting are finished.

RE: LOT CLEANUP The mayor said there are a lot of people that are interested in getting their lot j cleaned up, but there is some people that won't do anything about it and he suggested in a couple of weeks we would give Mary Smith the names and she could write a letter telling them we would clean them up and put it on the taxes.
