Portal council approves dump-ground cameras, schedules NW Vet clinic and hires title work for Memorial Hall
Summary
Council approved investing in cameras for the dump ground, decided not to staff the dump this year, scheduled a NW Vet clinic for May 10 to provide vaccinations and dog licensing, and voted to hire Olson & Burns attorney Ryan Quarne for title work on Memorial Hall.
The Portal City Council voted to invest in cameras at the dump ground to deter prohibited dumping and decided not to staff the site this year; instead, staff with keys will be listed at city hall, the dump site and the post office for residents who need access. The motion to pursue cameras was made by Tamara Rudland, seconded by Kenneth Evenson, and carried unanimously; maintenance employee Ricky Smith was directed to research camera options.
Council announced that NW Vet will visit the Community Center on May 10, with cats served from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and dogs to follow; residents may purchase dog licenses at the event with proof of vaccination. The council set license fees at $10 for spayed or neutered dogs and $20 for unaltered dogs, and said a $100 penalty will be added to the July city bill for dogs not licensed by July 1.
On property matters, council voted to hire Ryan Quarne with Olson & Burns to perform title work for the Memorial Hall if Quarne remains interested; Auditor Kaydee Smith will contact him to confirm. Council also decided there will not be a trailer available at the park this year for tree disposal and directed a new sign be made for the town roll-off dumpster.
The actions bundle short-term operational choices for public safety and community services as the council moves toward implementation and scheduling for those services.
