Kimball council adds discussion on grass-in-yards enforcement; mayor pledges follow-up with Council Member Bickner
Summary
The council amended the agenda to discuss grass-in-yards enforcement; Mayor Donnie Hamiel and Council Member Harold Bickner will follow up. The mayor also clarified a recent newspaper item, stating the council has 'full faith and trust' in current and former employees potentially affected by the coverage.
Council amended the agenda at the start of its July 7 meeting to add a discussion regarding grass in yards and enforcement of relevant city ordinances. The minutes record that Mayor Donnie Hamiel and Council Member Harold Bickner will follow up on enforcement, but no enforcement motion or timeline was recorded.
During the public input portion of the meeting Mayor Hamiel read a statement to address comments printed in the June 11 edition of the local paper: "Myself and the council have full faith and trust in our current employees and any former employees that may have been affected by the comments that were made. In our minds it was how the public would view that situation with the library account and has nothing to do with anyone working in the library or any of the library board members." The minutes show the addition of the grass-in-yards item to the agenda by motion (Bickner, second by Gough) but do not include enforcement details. The council identified follow-up responsibility to the mayor and Council Member Bickner.
