Resident urges participation in county housing study; council reviews website rollout, ATV event and other city business
Summary
Donna Jackson urged Burden residents to complete the county housing study survey to ensure representation; the council also reviewed multiple administrative items including an April 19 ATV Poker Run (no one-day permits required), a March 1 website rollout, flooring quotes tabled, a purchasing policy work session, and the likely return of pool manager Christina Hankins.
Donna Jackson urged residents to participate in a county-wide housing study update during the council's unfinished business, reminding the council and the public that Burden needs representation in the survey results.
Ben Dobbs, speaking for the Burden Arena Association, said the group plans an ATV Poker Run on Saturday, April 19, starting around 1 p.m., beginning and ending at the Burden Rodeo Arena; the council stated that no ATV permits are required for a one-day event. Clerk Julia Loving told the council the city website content will be pushed to the public on March 1 via utility bills. Flooring at City Hall was discussed; only one of three requested quotes had been received and the council asked for additional bids and tabled the decision until the next meeting. The council authorized a work session to draft a formal purchasing policy involving council members, the mayor, the city attorney and department heads.
Staff reports covered routine public works and police updates. Clerk Julia Loving asked to scale back the level of detail in minutes going forward; the council approved that request. Christina Hankins expressed a desire to return as pool manager and was noted in the personnel section of the agenda.
The council approved routine motions during the meeting, including payment of bills and the amended approval of January minutes. The meeting adjourned at 6:51 p.m.
