Local City Resident Federico Carrillo has purchased property at 68 South and 1st Street behind the Judith Pawn Shop. There is a building in the back that Federico would like the city to approve him to conduct business renting the two units, but he went to planning and zoning, and they have not approved him to conduct business renting the two units because Federico needs to place a fire wall, and the Hydrant on Federico's property is not up-to-date there is a Hydrant this a cross the street Federico is hoping to use. Planning and Zoning Commissioner Michael Connin informs the City Council that Federico has a 3'waterline that's too small, and he needs a 4'waterline. Federico needs to upgrade the hydrant on the property and a manhole to clean out the sewer line. Connin responded that it was Fire Inspector Waylan Nelon, with the help of Fire Marshell Anthony Bott, who gave those suggestions. Another issue is the road in between the 2 buildings that planning and zoning spoke about, which was making that road a fire access lane only, where no parking accessibility was available for anyone, nor could there be any dumpster be placed between the buildings. Councilmember Brandon Grossman asked Connin who did this inspection. Councilmember Brandon Grossman asked if the property is already Zone Commercial, and City Clerk Liliana Soriano responded Yes, it is commercial. Connin responded to its commercial 2. Federico Carrillo asked Fire Chief Kennith Quirk if they could use the Fire hydrant across the Street. Ken informed Council that Ken has spoken with City Public Works Manager Armando and Fire Marchell Anthony. Unfortunately, Federico does have a small water line to feed the hydrant, but Ken suggests using the Hydrant across the Street, which is within 100 feet of the property. Connin responded that the road would be closed off because of the hose, and there are not enough officers to close off the road. Federico responded that he went around town, and some businesses do not have hydrants on their property; the hydrants are across the street. The mayor suggested that Federico be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. Local Resident Danny Rolbertson informed the council that his meter has been misread 19000 gallons for the last couple of times, and this has happened in prior years; just this year, it has happened 4 times.

Danny informed the council that his meter was dirty how was the reading was right reading, if not, Danny couldn't read it until he cleaned it. There are no initials who read the meter, and there is no date or time when it was read. Mayor Dennis Sweat asked City Clerk Liliana Soriano if that could be added to the bill. Liliana responded, Unfortunately, it cannot be done. The city has tried to send individual messages on bills, but the messages will not show on the bill. The Mayor Asked City Administrator Glenn Wadsworth if all employees have a cellphone. Glenn responded, 'Yes, they do. Councilmember Brandon mentioned the city pays the phone bill, if I remember correctly. Liliana responded that there are more the 200 meters, that there are a lot of pictures. Councilmember Adam Palafox corrected that by saying no, it is about 400 meters. Mayor Dennis Sweat asked Danny what he would like done with a picture and the initials of who read his letter.
