Motion to approve consent agenda—agenda, minutes and bills made by C. White,2nd by Stahl. Vote was all ayes. In publiccomment, Mayor White updated the Councilon the 911 Commission news. They did notvote on the radio issue because the Countywanted the 911 Board to add tower rent andequipment maintenance into their budget.This is due to the fact that the fire districtscan’t pay more money, so 911 Board wasasked to pay for this. When it was set up, the911 Board was only responsible for salariesand benefits, not buildings maintenance orvehicles. Supervisor Patten suggested he goback to the Board of Supervisors and furtherdiscuss the issue.

Mayor moved the order ofbusiness back to the public hearing forNathan & Kelly Karr variance request at 303Main Street. The variance requested thatboth the north and east 7’ property allowancebe waived to build a 20’ x 30’ garage. Clerkhad had a written response to the varianceletter against the build, and the mayor hadhad two verbal responses against the build.Gibbs, from the fire chief perspective, statedhe had concerns regarding the proximity tothe neighbor’s garage as well. It would be ap-proximately 32” from the fence and 8-9’ fromthe neighbors’ garage. Although steel sidingis planned, Gibbs concern was that a firecould spread between those two building tooquickly and the department would not be ableto get their equipment in to put it out. In dis-cussion with N. Karr, he and Council agreedthat if he could move it approximately 5’ tothe south it would be fine. Karr stated it wouldhave to be 6’ to accommodate his construc-tion plans. If it was moved that distance, itwould no longer require a variance on thenorth and Council would ok the east side dueto the fact others on the alley are approxi-mately the same distance. Karr agreed tochange the building size. Motion made byGibbs that pending approval of space by Al-liant and Partner Communications, the eastvariance would be approved; the northamount would be widened to accommodatethe 7’ distance required by Code; and thebuilding built to 20’ x 24’ in size. 2nd byHauser. Vote was all ayes. Second buildingpermit was a request from David Gibbs at108 2nd Avenue to make a small addition to

his existing garage to square it off. Since allthe other lot distances would remain thesame, Motion made by C. White with 2nd byStahl, Vote was 4 ayes with 1 abstaining(Gibbs) due to it being his permit request.Motion passed.
