Mayor John Shevlin gave a brief update on the land situation at the Industrial Park which involved the city and Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad during the council meeting Monday evening.
Readers will recall that there is a small section of land that Columbia Grain would like to purchase, however the BNSF claims all rights to it.
Researched by Pondera County Title, it shows that the city actually owns the parcel. BNSF though has informed the city it wants $22,000 for the land that they don’t own.
While the railroad won’t admit to say they own the land, they claim to have an interest in it. “This won’t be over with over night,” commented the mayor.
The council received only one quote for this season’s mosquito control contract.
Bill Halver of Shelby, who had the contract last year, submitted the lone bid for $9,900, up $700 from last year. He got a late start, in July, last season, but will begin controlling the pesky bugs in May.
Four building permits were OK’d by the council, claims and payroll were also passed. There were no water contracts.
Several items on the agenda received no action and will be carried over to the next regular meeting. Those include action on the growth policy, action on the Brian Heath property and action on the CDBG planning grant.
Jerry Stubbs was hired for the Maintenance Worker I position and the city will re-advertise for a pool manager until the position is filled.
Resolution 939 was read and passed, noting that excess funds from swimming pool funds may be moved to the general fund.
There was no comment on this during a public hearing portion of the meeting. The council passed the resolution 4-0.
Aldermen also received routine reports from City Attorney Mary Ann Ries, Police Chief Gary Dent and Richard Anderson, Public Works Director and Cheryl Curry of the Port Authority.
The next regular meeting of the council will be on April 16, 7:30 p.m. in city hall, 411 ½ S. Main. |
