Description/Agenda

Big Water Town Council Meeting Minutes Monday April 15, 2019 Work Session-Opened at 7:34 PM. Council discussed agenda items. Michelle discussed town ordinances and wanted to present the idea to the council to have a roll-off dumpster at the transfer station and to raise the water bill by a little to cover the cost. Mayor Schmuker felt that would not work because of the different amounts people dump. Mayor Schmuker agreed with the roll off but to still charge to dump their garbage individually. Mayor feels that the raise in fees would have to cover that. Kris provided a letter to the council that she is resigning as planning and zoning administrator. Keith brought up the point of ordinance enforcement issues. Kris feels she has had no help in the enforcement of the ordinances. Keith asks if there should be any ordinances if there is no enforcement. Mayor asked Kris for examples of not being able to enforce the ordinances. An ordinance with the job description was created a few years ago and there is no support for the description. Merle feels like the town marshal does not support the enforcement for the town ordinances. Keith informed the council that he does not feel that the marshal is the one that needs to enforce the ordinances. Public Hearing-Opened at 8:04 pm William Welsh asked questions about what is considered grandfathered in. Kris explained there is no such thing as a grandfathered law. Merle explained the uses and people don't know about things being legal, so they don't make the changes. William asked about the recreational vehicle park across the street. Kris explained that this was discussed during planning and zoning and what was asked for on the application. Kris explained that what was on the application and what the actual use is still is not defined. Mayor Schmuker explained that the public hearing is for the table of uses not the RV park application across the street.
