Citizen Comments
Steve Van Maren mentioned the Terricon report being noticed in the packet but not with
the accessor and study. He felt their should be a fall-back clause with the seller for
unknown expenses due to a poor view of the ground level contamination. He was not
happy with the price being so high, but understood. He stated; "Let's attack it from the
direction of how much of the purchase price is coming from the bond and how much of
the purchase price is coming from the Public Utilities reserves".

The Public Hearing was opened.
Steve Van Maren, found a discrepancy when he attended the Planning Commission
meeting, but was sure that it was corrected.
Jim Edwards asked if any trees would be grandfathered into the ordinance, and if this
ordinance was being enforced. He felt that residents should be notified and present when
trees in or near their yards are being trimmed. Also, trimming should take place in the
Spring and Summer months.
Ryan Cump reported that the ordinance is being enforced in parkstrips since the trees are
in the City's right-of-way. The change to the code would put the burden on adjoining
