Whispering Willow estates. Move in a 1985 16x76 mobile home with deck, steps, and ramp. Much discussion was had regarding the owner’s failure to complete the removal of vacant trailers as stated in their letter to the planning and zoning committee in October of 2021. They have also not replaced the nonfunctioning water meter that has been out of service since the spring of 2022. The owners were supplied with a new meter in May of 2022 but have struggled to find a plumber to complete the installation. The council also discussed the fact that the trailer was moved in before a permit was approved, permits must be approved before any trailers are moved in. The owners came into city hall and filled out a permit and said they had a mover lined up already and were going to bring the trailer in because it had to be removed from its current location. Motioned by Venske and seconded by Chyba to deny the permit until the following conditions are met; remove all uninhabitable trailers from the park and replace the water meters with the new meter supplied by the city. Motion Carried.

Committee Reports:

Matt: City Manager/Liquor Store

A developer is interested in submitting a proposal for the Brummer addition property owned by the city of Randall. Jason Murray will be communicating with the developer to ensure the proposal is in the city’s best interest. The city celebration held on July 1^st went very well. Lots of positive feedback from those that attended. A couple of requests have been made to lift the requirement to put all the tables and chairs at Bingo Park back in the storage closet following meetings. The council unanimously agreed that we should not change the requirement.

Mayor Dan Noss: 4^th celebration was great.
