Resident presents petition for special election; gopher-control funding request tabled
Summary
A resident delivered a petition with 55 signatures asking for a special election to fill an open commission seat; the commission did not move to call a special election. Separately a street maintenance worker requested $4,299.95 for gopher control across about 100 acres; the item was tabled pending further review.
Kevin Litten asked the commission to make a motion that night to hold a special election for the open commission seat; no commissioner moved. Litten handed Deputy City Auditor Ronica Pederson a petition with 55 signatures asking for a special election. The minutes record no formal action by the commission on the petition.
Jason Steele, identified in the minutes as a street maintenance worker, described persistent gopher problems within the city and requested $4,299.95 to treat approximately 100 acres. The commission discussed liability concerns and potential cooperative approaches with adjoining property owners and tabled the item for further consideration.
Both items were recorded under New Business and public comment; neither resulted in a vote at the July 15 meeting.
