Village of Payson Village Board met Feb. 14.
Here are the minutes provided by the board:
Meeting called to order - Mayor Dever asks for roll call.
Those present were: Chris Dever, Kristi Shelton, Roger Sunde, Robert Stock, Gary Epperson, and Don Benjamin.
Doreta Lalond was in attendance as a guest.
Secretary’s Report: Kristi motioned to accept the Secretary’s report from January, Rob seconded and all were in favor.
Guests/Communication/Recognition:
1. Doreta wanted to let the board know how nice the Christmas decor looked! She also asked about replacing the sidewalk between Dollar General and the church. Doreta inquired about the program behind cleaning up properties and what is happening there and wanted to let the board know that she is still seeing dogs running loose and wanted to know what is being done about that.
2. Someone has been shooting paint balls and prying on the front windows at the town hall- Randy has been notified about this and will be on the lookout.
Maintenance Report:
1. Water Tower update- Chris had asked Jeffrey at Klingner’s for an update, but didn’t get a response from him.
2. Motor Fuel issue- we split suppliers in 2021 for street oil and didn’t get bids submitted- at the time, this was allowed, but now they are saying it wasn’t. The board will need to re-allocate monies next year to off-set this. There are no penalties, just need to realign things.
3. Want to get pallet racks for South Shed- Jason got a quote for this in the amount of $3800 but will get with Mike Hummel on possibility of him having some.
Police Report:
1. Discussion was held on the ordinances and enforcing them- can’t more be done? Barney is looking into a case with another town on the same issue and will let the board know the outcome. Any board member can take a picture if an animal is running at large and the officers can follow up and issue a ticket - this is per Barney. Parks:
1. Lights have been ordered for the park.
Monthly Bills/Treasurer’s Report and Misc. Financial Reports:
1. Bills for January- Gary motioned to approve expenses, Rob seconded and all were in favor after roll call vote.
2. Ordinance for update to Dogs running at large was presented- Section 3 about the number of dogs was added. This passed 3-2- Barney will get a new one typed up and to the board.
Old Business: N/A
New Business: N/A
Adjournment: Gary made a motion to adjourn. Don seconded and the meeting was adjourned.
