Short open discussion was held to discuss the Lawn Mower Poker Run. The fundraising event would like access to the city park on the day of the event. No one on the council saw any problems with event happenings in the park. BUSINESS: Steve Lias was present to ask the council permission to add a new underground drain abutting into the city storm sewer. The elevator would cover the cost of any work to be done along with getting the proper permits necessary to document the work. With no need for a motion, the council approved Lias’ request. Lias left the meeting at 7:17pm. Dallas Peskey was not present to discuss the 5th Avenue drainage issue. The council further discussed this issue and were in agreement with Brown that the drainage issues need to be handled by the residents and the board will only get involved if a mutual agreement couldn’t be reached amongst the residents. The idea of adding in camping spaces next to the park was discussed. After some discussion the council agreed that adding in 4 spaces for camping at the park where the basketball court would be a great addition to the park. There is enough interest in this addition to make the decision to add in the spaces. The town would incur little to no debt in adding in the spaces. The board felt the town would bring in business in offering the spaces at no cost therefore allowing the campers to shop at local businesses. According the SDCL 1-25-2, the council entered into executive session at 7:42pm to discuss the purchase options for the Matheiu’s land. The council exited executive session at 8:04pm.
