The Mayor stated that we have a request from R. Miles Properties for the City to take Oakgrove Subdivision into the city maintenance plan.  Mr. Keith stated that he has looked at the subdivision and there are a couple of problems that need to be resolved prior to the city taking it over.  One is at 250 Wooded Oak Court and 271 Crooked Oak Court.  Both have a problem with drainage.  The water stands in the road and he is afraid that in the winter the freezing of the water will cause problems with the pavement.  Also there is an area that has an easement issue.  It is thought that the road is actually on private property.  The Council discussed and said that until all the issues are taken care of, the city can not take them over.

Sign-in Speakers:

Mr. Raymond of 464 Ridgeview Dr.  stated that there still has not been any resolution on the drainage issue he is having.  He said that since they worked on Grandview he get a lot of run off when there is a heavy rain.  Chuck Keith stated that he has looked at it and that the water appears to be there because there is a lot of rock under the surface.  He said he thought that it would take 200 or 300 feet of pipe to resolve the issue.  Mr. Hatfield stated he would like to look at the area before there is a decision made.  Mr. Hatfield and other council members are going to look at the problem prior to the next meeting.

Mr. Chuck Ray of 650 Peaceful Court stated he is in the process of opening a new wrecker service and tow in lot and heard about the new wrecker ordinance.  He questioned why the city would want to limit themselves to 3 wrecker services on the towing list.   Ms. Enlow stated that with three services each one only will get about 3 to 4 tows a month.
