APPROVAL OF MINUTES

STORM DRAIN PROBLEM – CITIZEN COMPLAINT
Mayor Altznauer advised the council that a citizen filed a complaint about the water run off on Centennial Road when there is a hard rain. He said the water comes off the road and her yard ends up full of water and debris. The water goes over the ditch and is something we need to address. He advised that he would get some input from Ricky Blevins with ER Utility Solutions and then would go talk to Mrs. Bullock.
PARKING LOT DISCUSSION
Mayor Altznauer advised the council that he was trying to come up with a solution to add some parking spaces. I thought we could fill in the ditches on each side next to the concrete slab in front of the shed and we could put one lane of parallel parking. According to the ordinances it specifies a certain amount of spacing and it did not work. Horizontal parking would give us seven spaces. The question is how many spaces are needed. The pad would give us eight spaces, but the shed would be blocked. The business it would help the most is Yesterday’s. Council member Brandi Owens stated that Sundays are really busy and every third Thursday the town is busy. The Mayor said behind our building is another 33 feet. That could be for employees to park. He said we are open to suggestions and need to figure out how many we need and the cost per space.
BUDGET WORK SESSION
Debbie Kilgore stated that the next budget work session would be May 24, 2018 at 6:00 PM here at City Hall.
