Public comments: property-encroachment question and mental health art festival announced
Summary
Resident Bob Ellis asked city staff about possible encroachment of a newly installed fence onto city property; Veronica (last name not specified) invited the council and public to a mental health awareness and art festival on March 30.
Several members of the public addressed the council during the public comment period, raising a property-encroachment question and promoting an upcoming community event.
Fence encroachment question Bob Ellis, who identified himself as a Wasco resident at 1202 Cypress Avenue and owner of the property at 747 F Street, told the council he had constructed a fence and stairs along the south side of a new parking lot and was told he may be encroaching on city property. Ellis said he does not dispute the encroachment and asked the council how he should proceed — whether there is a permitting path or other avenue to resolve the matter. Council asked staff to find a viable solution and to work with Mr. Ellis.
Community event announcement Veronica (last name not specified) promoted a World Bipolar Day mental-health awareness and art festival scheduled for Sunday, March 30 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. She told the council the event will include musical acts, dancers, a car show, more than 30 informational booths, face painting and arts activities and said media outreach, including radio and television interviews, was underway.
Ending Council directed staff to follow up with Mr. Ellis about his encroachment question. The festival announcement was received and council members were invited to attend; no council action was taken during public comment.
