Mayor Kurt Mayabb addressed the Council Many of the community will not be happy if we don’t stick to section line homes. We want to get us going and get as many alterations done as soon as possible. Everyday we are trying to get investors and help with financing these roads. Our two year plan (2019-2020) is to do mustang. We would like to send out a flier to the community with the roads and dates we would like to get finished. Remove Rolling Prairie and move the other roads up by one year. We have the $10 road matiness fee I want to increase it by $28. Andy Jones addressed the Council The road bond has fizzled out. Having the fee on the bill will help. At what point does the new homes get added to the bill and start paying the fee? When will this fee on the bill apply? There is already a $10 street and ally fund. Will the new fee add to this? We as the community paying this fee want to know that it is being used to current these roads. Councilman John Brown addressed the Council New homes will be charged the fee as soon as the get a meter set for water. We would have $10 and $30 in separate funds. This is a two-year plan for this fee, once two years pass, we will come to come back and vote on it again. We can replace Rolling Prairie with Edmond road to be fixed first. Michael Huel addressed the Council When is the increase in road maintenance going to end? Are we continuously trying to get need businesses’ in town? Revenue streams are what would really help finance new roads. Councilman Melissa Ashford addressed the council Community Development Director and I continue to try and bring in new businesses’ to our town. Not many are interested or entertain the idea opening up here do to small amount of revenue. Road list needs to stay section like roads. Rolling Prairie needs to be eliminated from this list. Mayor Pro Tem Kevan Blasdel addressed the Council Doing Edmond road will not widen it, it will only fix what is there. Increasing the road maintenance fee by $28 will be able to be out in one account. We will be short $300,000 due to the current $10 fee that is already being used.

NAY: None n) Discussion, consideration and possible action to accept road dedication for Biggs Estate Lorraine Drive. Mayor Pro Tem Kevan Blasdel addressed the Council Barges have been put in Piedmont road due to flooding. However they fill with mud, which than caused surrounding properties flood as well. City Engineer Mary Elizabeth Mach addressed the Council Track of land developing, drainage supervision, contoured and mapped out. Water does flow into the property. An existing covert is where the water is flowing to across the property. When the house was built they claimed to not have had this issue. The road that is there was built without the plans of this house being place here. We recommend doing a covert that will impact this driveway or we recommend grading it so it will direct it off the property. Mayor Kurt Mayabb addressed the Council The map with tierce shows the water way flows into the lake. We cannot accept a road with these issues without ending up with a lawsuit. This road will go under water and we will be responsible to fix it. There is mud in a covert and water build up. Is there a way to redirect the water? JT Hargus addressed the Council When we designed this we don’t drive up and down the tierces. They were removed because when we build we can take them out if needed. The neighbor has built a dam but it is not protecting his property like he had thought, it will damage it later on. I am unable to do anything to his property so I cant stop the bam. I can go flush it out. Councilman John Brown Addressed the Council This house was built up higher on this property where as the driveway was not. The road will not go under water. This is a civil mater that needs to be dealt with not by the council. The road can continue to stay a privet road. City Manager Jason Orr addressed the Council This is not a city problem I am not spending taxpayers money on this. Councilman John Brown made a motion to approve item n on the consent agenda.
