Public comments

Thomas Caddel addressed the council with a complaint. He said he for the first time had to fill out paperwork to get an agenda for the meeting. Bauch said there had been a misunderstanding, and they would address it. Bauch explained public records had to have a form filled out but a copy of the agenda for meetings did not.

Caddel had another issue to present to the council. He said he saw survey stakes in the alley way next to his property and when would they open it up to him. Bauch explained that he had not received the survey yet and when he did, they would take care of the easement access.

Closed session took place regarding personnel matters.
