Members of the City Council, City Administrator Lana Fralich and City Attorney Tim Costley have been reviewing city codes in the interest of eliminating old language and outdated statutes.
On Monday night they provided area residents with an opportunity to ask questions and comment about the changes. While a good number of folks attended the meeting, there were no questions concerning changes to the codes. Interested parties who have questions about the code changes can view them online.
Alex Burcum is hosting a Burk / Banks Block Party on Friday, September 26th from 5 – 8. The event will feature pizza made on site, soda, chips and a portable fire pit. If you are interested in attending, Alex asks that you bring a folding chair, a dish to share and acoustic musical instruments. The block party will be held at 58 Burk Drive. The Council enthusiastically endorsed the event.
In other business, the Council continues to work to address the issue of blight in the city. While some property owners have worked with the city to clean up their properties, there are some who have not complied. The Council adopted a resolution that will give noncompliant property owners until October 6th to respond to the order that has already been issued. After that point, warrants will be signed that will give the city the necessary legal authority to abate properties that are not in compliance. Abatement costs will be charged to the property owners. If people need clarification on what is expected, they should contact City Hall.
The next Silver Bay Council meeting is scheduled for October 6th. Due to parking lot construction at City Hall, the meeting will be held at the Union Hall.
