CALL TO ORDER— Mayor Rigby called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Members of Council present: <br /> Councilmembers Ojeda, J. Martin, K. Martin, Kaminski, Leonard, Engelken, Zemanek, and Earp.

PUBLIC COMMENTS (Limited to five minutes per person.) <br /> Chuck Rosa, 812 S. Virginia St., addressed Council concerning property at 621 W. Main St.; he is not <br /> in favor of demolishing this building. <br /> Drue Adams, 200 Crescent View St., addressed Council in regards to the fence and gate he wants <br /> removed between Lots 3 & 4 in the Crescent View Subdivision. The gate has been left open, but it's not <br /> enough. Mr. Adams passed out a petition of people/neighbors indicating they want the gate taken <br /> down. He urged the City to enforce the ordinance. He requests City Council's support to have the fence <br /> and gate removed, so that citizens will have open access to the Bay. <br /> Becky Chatham, 306 Crescent View St., addressed Council regarding how she loves the area she lives <br /> in. However, she's against the gate being there, and stated it is not legal to fence off open space and <br /> right-of-way. <br /> Terry Short, 2803 Crescent Dr., (gate owner), addressed Council on how none of his neighbors helped <br /> to fix the bulkhead on this property. He has taken care of all maintenance on the land and the bulkhead <br /> except one neighbor has helped mow a few times. He does intend to take it to Court to be granted <br /> owner by adverse possession. His wife is afraid for her safety; once when she was home alone, three <br /> individuals were peering through the window. In 19 years, no neighbors have used that land for <br /> recreation. <br /> Page 1 of 7 <br /> October 23, 2017, Council Meeting Minutes <br />
