Town Council Meeting Minutes Tuesday January 22, 2019 Work Session-Opened at 6:48 pm Merle discussed abandoned vehicles in rights of way. Merle knows who the owner of the vehicle that is located by Bruce Tornbom and the car needs to be removed. Doug Kennedy offered to take the car to his lot and dispose of it properly. Public Hearing- Called to order 7:30 pm Don Hardwick had objections to a part time clerk receiving insurance for her and her family. Vince Olsen felt it was a misuse of town funds and did not think that council should vote on giving her the insurance. Clerk Jenni explained that the council had already voted to give Michelle insurance. This public hearing was to open the current budget to put the line item in. Clerk Jenni explained that in order to have a good clerk to take care of the town there should be some incentive. Doug Kennedy expressed that the clerks should work as many hours a day as it takes to get all the work done. Merle felt that a clerk is an asset to the town and he would be voting to allow the insurance.

Conditional use permit for Sicari was deferred another month since she was not present at the meeting. Second letter sent to motel for illegal lights. Kris contacted the state about burn permit process. The town burn permit process is out of compliance and information has been given to the fire chief to implement changes. CItizen comments- Doug Kennedy addressed the council about a report that he has presented to the planning and zoning in regards to changes to the RV park ordinance and is offering a copy of that report to the council for review. Doug feels that the town is bullying him since his business license was in question since there were two types of businesses listed. Doug has given a letter to the mayor to file an appeal. Vince Olsen wanted to discuss allowing an RV to be at the firehouse. Vince feels that the usages of staying in an RV needs to be examined.
