City Council

. City of Margaret November 27, 2018 6:00 P.M. In attendance: Councilman Chapman, Councilman Perry, Councilman Carter, Mayor Howard, Absent: Mayor Pro-Tem McIntyre and Councilman Ray Prayer: Mr. Barker Mayor Howard called Meeting to order Discussion Mayor Howard asked for approval of minutes after correction of misspelled word (cable should have been gable) November 13, 2018. Councilman Perry made the Motion to approve minutes for November 13, 2018. Councilman Chapman seconded the Motion. Motion passed unanimously. The road agreement was the topic for agreement. Councilman Perry stated that the road agreement only addresses the roads in the Ridgefield Subdivision and not the roads in the Brookhaven Subdivision. Councilman Perry also thinks that there should be a plan in place giving the builders a timeframe in order to repair all damaged roads. The plan that was discussed would require the following: 1). City would notify Fourstar of the damaged roads. 2). Fourstar would come up with a written plan to fix the damaged roads within 10 days of the receipt of the notification. 3). Fourstar’s notification must be verbally or send by certified mail. The City must also be notified if the the weather is a factor in hindering the repair of the the road. The penalty that were brought up were: 1). No permit issued until roads are repaired, this is for new construction only. 2). Fourstar must put a topcoat down within 90% of the completion of building. Council would like for the contract to reflect that once Fourstar reaches  90% of the completion of building, they will apply a top coat to all roads. The Council would like for Erskine to be at the next meeting to make changes to the road agreement previously drafted. The Council states that once the road agreement has been present to Fourstar, they have 10 days to respond. Mr. Barker addressed the Council about coming up with a Cat Ordinance because cats are becoming a problem in the Polly Ridge Subdivision. We have a resident with 24 cats. Mr. Barker also informed the Council that Mr. Guy is onboard for the new city hall. The city will have to do the following: 1). Redo survey for the site of the new city hall. 2). Pad needs to be built. 3). Must have a compaction test done. Mr. Barker will get a price on repairing Virginia Way.
