Tree Commission
Councilor Mathews reported on the last meeting of the Tree Commission held on
July 12, 2007. Councilor Mathews reported on various tree matters at particular
locations in town. He also reported that Katy Corkle will ask the FFA if
they are interested in doing a beautification project around the tracks downtown.
She will present the design to council for approval when it is ready. They will be
planting the tree for Stas Legenza on behalf of the money Stas collected for the
downtown. Katy Corkle reported to the commission that she has found very
little gypsy moth worms since the spraying. The commission moved to have a second
wood carving done. They will decide if it will be an Indian chief (Ottokee) or a
squaw. The City purchased two GPS systems. Katy Corkle is using one now. The
57 newly planted trees are doing well.
Councilor Krumm made a motion and seconded by Council President Stiriz to accept
the Tree Commission report.

Department Head Reports
Steve Brown, Regional Planning Director
Mr. Brown said that the revolving loan for Sterling Mechanical LLC presented under
first reading is a good loan and should be a good business venture.
Marv Wheeler, Fire Chief
Chief Wheeler said the painting project in the apparatus bay area and part of the
outside doors has been completed and came out really well. It really brightened up
the bay area quite a bit. A firm came in last week and tested all our ground
ladders and they all passed. The Insurance Service Office has been in the last couple
weeks doing their evaluations. This company sets the insurance rates for this area.
Keith Torbet, Police Chief
Chief Torbet said we had our second annual Childrens Safety Day that was put on in
conjunction with Women and Family Services, Skye Cinema and Wal-Mart. We had
approximately 75-100 attendees. He thanked the Fire Department as well as the local
area service agencies that came up. We are currently taking applications for our
Citizens Police Academy.
Tom Hall, Code Administrator
Mr. Hall explained some of the legislation that is presented for first reading or
emergency. He said that there is an ordinance to amend the subdivision regulations.
Many of the provisions in the regulations have not been updated since the 1950s.
We anticipate starting the removal of the fire debris on August 20, 2007 after
proper.
Mr. Hall said that we plan on starting the sidewalk replacement project sometime in
the next couple weeks.
Dennis Richardson, Director of Public Service
Mr. Richardson gave an update on the Burr Road Sanitary Sewer project. The contractor
has assured us that the sidewalks will be repaired and the road passable by the time school starts.
The GPS machines are now in use. The City has received the generator for the radio tower project.
The Insurance Services Office insurance rep will be coming back next week to do flow tests on
hydrants. He anticipates we will be doing significantly better on that than the previous survey done
in 1994. The Parks Department has all but completed placing the fibar material under the
playground area in the parks.
Jon Schamp, Director of Finance
Mr. Schamp said he distributed the financial reports for the month of July.
Income is coming in as projected.
Tom McWatters, Assistant Director of Law
Mr. McWatters said he has been working with Mr. Hall in keeping the EPA apprised of the
clean-up efforts of the fire debris. Mr. McWatters explained the resolution regarding
recoupment of insurance monies. This resolution would allow the city to be listed on a database.
An insurance company would have to consult the database whenever there is a fire and the municipality
is involved in the clean-up. If the city was listed, than a prorata portion of the proceeds would be
paid to the city for clean-up costs. There is a formula on how the insurance proceeds are disbursed.
There are a large number of cities that are in the database.
