6. Incentive for Returning Lead and Copper Questionnaire
A questionnaire was developed to be sent off to residents to help with the completion of the lead and copper survey. As an incentive, the city is suggesting that they give a $25 credit on the utility bill to hose that take the time to fill out the questionnaire and return it completed fully.
7. Conditional Use Permit for an RV Park
Kyle Walter applied for a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of an RV park in a C-2 zone located at 833 10th Street. The Planning Commission considered the matter and recommended approval.
8. Signs, Awnings, Canopies and Marquees Ordinance
The existing ordinances were spread out between chapters 12 and 15 as well as the Zoning Regulations. This is an effort to consolidate all information regarding signs and adding definitions and language to come up to date on the regulations. There are no major changes to this ordinance that would affect business owners.
9. Fences, Walls and Hedges Ordinance
The existing ordinance has been untouched for many years and this is an effort to bring the information up to date. The biggest changes in the ordinance concern the language in the front yard for corner lots where fences would now be allowed to come out to and along the non-address property line.
10. Gym Membership Discussion
At the May 1, 2023 council meeting, it was requested that gym memberships be brought back for discussion. Human Resources Director Randy Keasling will report.

A motion to recess into executive session will be presented to seek legal advice for pending legal matters.
