Resident told to remove vehicles and build fence after deed review of city lots
Summary
Council confronted resident William “Bill” Keesler about vehicles and tires on city-owned lots and a city attorney notice requiring a 6-foot fence by April 1; Auditor Kaydee Smith presented deed and map evidence showing Keesler owns lots 12–14 while the city owns lots 10–11.
Mayor Lisa Smith addressed resident William "Bill" Keesler on March 4 after the city’s attorney sent notice about tires and vehicles on what the city says is municipal property and a requirement to build a six-foot fence by April 1.
Keesler told the council he believed he owned property back to the trees. Auditor Kaydee Smith reviewed the minutes, presented a copy of the deed and showed a screenshot of the GSI map indicating Keesler owns lots 12, 13 and 14 of Block 2, Metsger’s First Addition, while the city owns lots 10 and 11. After the deed and map review, Keesler said he would move vehicles and tires off the city property and that he planned to move his business outside of town once snow melts.
The council briefly discussed a trailer house sitting on Keesler’s property. The sheriff and Keesler later left the meeting; no further enforcement outcome was recorded in the minutes. The city’s attorney had set an April 1 deadline for the fence, according to Keesler’s notes in the minutes.
