Bicknell council approves minutes, a business sign, a trailer ordinance and an impact‑fee increase; pays bills
Summary
At its Feb. 5 meeting the Bicknell Town Council approved routine minutes, granted a sign permit, passed a building/zoning ordinance on trailer stays, increased the development impact fee and authorized payment of bills; most votes were voice votes with no recorded roll‑call tallies in the transcript.
Several formal items on the Bicknell Town Council’s Feb. 5 agenda were adopted by voice vote.
Minutes: The council approved the January work meeting minutes and the Jan. 8 council minutes after a motion and second (voice votes recorded as "aye").
Business sign: Council approved Jim Duddleston’s business sign application after brief discussion of size and location; the motion passed by voice vote.
Trailer limits / building and zoning ordinance: Council debated trailer/temporary housing language (the draft set a 10‑consecutive‑day maximum per stay and a 30‑day total limit in any calendar year). A motion to adopt the building and zoning ordinance addressing these trailer limits was made, seconded and passed by voice vote. The transcript records inconsistent ordinance numbers when the item was read (two different numbers were spoken during the meeting); the ordinance text on trailers and the vote to adopt it are recorded in the minutes, but the transcript does not clearly reconcile the ordinance number.
Impact fee: Council voted to increase the town development impact fee. The clerk read a fee figure during discussion and the council moved and voted to adopt an increase to $3,095.58. The meeting packet contained a prior figure of $3,095.15; the transcript shows $3,095.58 as the figure tied to the motion that passed.
Bills: A motion to pay town bills was made and seconded; the council approved payment by voice vote.
How the votes were taken: The transcript records voice votes and "aye" responses for the above motions; it does not include a full roll‑call tally with individual member votes for these items.
