vocation was offered by Councilwoman Dille. Resident Dick Bybee was also present.
The meeting was opened as unofficial because of the lack of a quorum.
Details were reviewed concerning driveway damage at the Dick Bybee residence, 21JO
Ross Avenue, which was reported at the meeting on April 7, 1983. It was noted that
the adjuster for the City's liability insurance has sent notice that the claim for
insurance settlement has been denied since the damage that was done is on the City
right-of-way. Public Works Director, Hayse Whiteley, indicated that the City should
take care of the problem but probably with asphalt instead of concrete. A decision is
to be made at the meeting on July 7.
Another matter which was discussed was with regard to the odor problem and the amount
of suspended solids in the sewage flow at the Sunnyside Potato Company. Engineer
Benton pointed out that a representative of the State Health Department Environment
Division has checked on the situation and that the potato plant man~er must be given
notice to take action immediately to correct the problem.
Claims to pay in the amount of $19,972.86 were approved along with vouchers for payroll
and related expenses paid since the previous meeting totaling $lJ,523.51.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and City Council:
The meeting was called to order at 8:50 P.M. by Mayor George Wehmann with the
following City officials present:
Mayor George Wehmann
Councilman Thayle D. Monson
Councilman RusaelTN. Swensen
Absent:
City Clerk Deon Hemingway

The pledge of allegiance to the flag was directed by Councilman Monson and prayer
was offered by Councilman Swensen.
As a matter of record, Mayor Wehmann noted that prior to the opening of the meeting,
which was delayed because of a quorum not being present, Norma Brown of 1750 Falcon
Drive appeared and made a request that the cement pipe playground equipment on the
property known as Falcon Park be moved back or taken out completely, stating that it
is unsightly and objectionable to the neighborhood. No action was taken on this on
the basis that Councilwoman Dille was not present, and she was involved in the original
placement of the pipe as a Boy Scout project.
There was further discussion on the driveway repair at the Dick Bybee residence, 2130
Ross Avenue, with emphasis on the City standard requiring that asphalt, rather than
cement, be used in the City right-of-way for driveway entrances in non-curb-and-gutter
areas.
Attorney Anderson mentioned that there has been an inquiry about getting a liquor-by-
the-drink lioense. He indicated that he would review' the law to determine if the City
must adopt an ordinance on this subject before an applicant can obtain a license.
Etsel Sommer of JJ20 Molen Street came in with a complaint about a dog which is allow'ed
to run loose and jumped on his grandchild causing an injury. Prompt City response to
this complaint was assured.
Mayor Wehmann called attention to the fact that the time is approaching for getting
the Fiscal Year 1984 budget prepared.
