Council tables yard‑debris ordinance changes; utility operator arrangement updated
Summary
The council voted to table proposed ordinance language to address yard debris on sidewalks until the July meeting and discussed an operational change at the water utility: Nate Deshayes will no longer be the operator and the city will continue to work with 'Carol.' Crosswalk sign replacements were discussed with estimates required for purchases over $500.
Council discussed instances of grass and yard debris being placed on sidewalks and agreed the current ordinance should be updated to add explicit verbiage addressing yard debris. Council member Bobbie Wosika moved to table the ordinance language until the July regular meeting; the motion passed unanimously.
The utility report also noted a staffing change: Nate Deshayes (previously associated with Advanced Utility Solutions) will no longer serve as the city's operator; the minutes say the city will continue to work with "Carol" (listed by first name only). Kristi Kath reported she is pursuing a grant to replace public trees and asked maintenance staff (Reid Watson) to obtain replacement crosswalk signs if needed, with the council noting estimates are required for purchases over $500.
