White Oaks Officials Ask Council to Look at Acreage at their Development for Possible Rec Complex
By Jeff Toquinto on April 13, 2015
- Heard from City Manager Kim Haws about concerns resulting from the smoke the has come from the fire department’s new burn building being used for on-site training behind the Main Street Fire Station. For the time being, non-toxic smoke with no odor is being used for training and no flames are being utilized, but Haws said a resolution will have to be found to allow staff to train in real life situations to better prepare themselves for actual situations.
- Received an offer of free landscaping and labor from Deegan Lake Drive resident Larry Davis. Davis is asking to work on a section of grassed area between the lake and the roadway where fishermen are parking and tearing up the ground. He is hoping the city can buy material and he’ll work on the area. He added that there was plenty of nearby parking that could be utilized. Haws was going to look into the matter.
- Passed an ordinance under the city’s Home Rule designation that will allow the procurement of architectural and engineering services to include – for the finalists chosen to be reviewed – a price figure.
- Passed on first reading and ordinance that will allow for the purchase of two parcels of land on Sherwood Road in the Woodland Hills Subdivision. The parcels will cost $30,000 total. The land will be used to house a fiberglass booster pump station to improve water pressure issues and fire flow concerns that have been in for decades. Greer emphasized that the project is part of looking into systemic issues with water pressure as opposed to addressing just one area.
- Set the day to lay the levy for April 21. The meeting will take place at 7:30 a.m.
