Town Council Meeting February 17, 2016 Wednesday 7:00 PM WORK Session Meeting Minutes

Call to order Roll call of members: Cameron Clark Absent

Public Comment Agenda items: Tamie Meck with DCI inquired about dog attack victim. Ask if this was an ongoing issue. We have had some issues but we do have a dog ordinance. We will send out letters to town members reiterating town ordinance.

Item #1 Kitchen updates- Susan Hanson reported that she is still searching for a hood. See had 4 options (see Attached) but option 2 and 3 were no longer available as of February 17th so the town decided that Susan showed go for option 4, American Hood. and that we didn’t have time to wait for the next meeting. Susan was to check on the install to see if we would have to pay Superior for the install of the fire suppression system. The Broker is to recoup the money for the missing hood, or broker will refund Focth money. Susan will have proposal from American Hood on February 18th before we continue with purchase. American Hood wants payment up front. But we will have a contract in hand before any monies change hands.

Item #2: Meet the candidates will be March 9th @ 7:00 at the town hall community room. Hetty Todd will be out of town. Need to put add in the DCI and the High Country Shopper. Coffee and cookies will be served!

Item# 3: Building permits- Bruce Bair just wanted to make sure that he was understanding the 2013 Resolution (see Attached) page 2 Sec. 18-1-22 Building permits – Variances – Enforcement. Trying to clarify if the building on main street was within the building permit codes, they are building a deck on the front of the building and a staircase down the side of the building. Council agreed that they were in compliance but suggested that Bruce visit with them to verify what their plan was to make sure they were not planning on changing the footprint of the building. If the planned on that change then they would need a building permit. The deck and staircase will not interfere with any existing structures or property. Bruce also wanted to know if we need to start charging a “Call out fee” for these properties that call him to turn the water off and on. He stated that some of the places he has turned the water on and off for mortgage companies 2 or 3 times. Council said that it would be a good idea. Gill ask how much we charge for shutoff for non- payment. Bruce said $50. Bruce suggested that if we do charge a fee it should be half of that, $25. Cally suggested that the first time should be free and any shut off after that should be charged $25 per shut off. Council agreed to that.

Item #4- Cally suggested that we have Lasting Impressions print window decals for the doors of the town hall. Council approve for her to move ahead on this project. Mike Tiedeman suggested that we ask other companies in the delta area if they did anything else like this to get a bid from more than just lasting Impressions. The council would also like signs on doors upstairs. Bruce also ask if we could get signs made with cleaning and rental rules on them. Cally suggested making them and having office depot laminate them. Cally will get on that.

Non-Agenda Items – Bruce - Thanked council for sending him to the Conference in Denver, he also stated that he learned a lot and also needed to spend more time in the office doing paper work, and study new regulations. The old computer from the clerks desk is being rebuilt for Bruce. Bruce will begin working on the system survey which is done every 3 years and this is the third year. Bruce states that Al did a great job of covering for him while he was away. Also Bruce ask if the town was still willing to help out with the Broadband service. Council said yes that they had agreed and voted on that but a resolution had never been written and ask if Cally could write that resolution for the next meeting.
