During the Jan. 12 regular meeting of the Guthrie Center City Council, Compliance Officer Wes Clark shared details about a noise complaint at the property at 907 Grand St.

“There’s an ongoing neighbor dispute. It’s currently a rented property with nonstop parties, vehicles being worked on. Deputies are well aware,” Clark said. He noted that the issue may require involving the city attorney to address the issue.

Clark also noted the new garage built at 907 Prairie St. He said the structure was not built as approved.

“We had an accessory building put up that didn’t do what he said he was going to do. He put up a canvass structure. I think we’re working toward a common goal, though, of getting that resolved,” Clark said.

Beer/liquor permits were approved for Hometown Foods, Dollar General and Pine Room.

Brenda Dudley addressed the council with an annual update and funding renewal request regarding Midwest Partnership. The council voted to renew membership with Midwest Partnership.

City Administrator Kris Arrasmith shared information on an option to purchase new playground equipment for Mitchell Park. She said the new set would cost about $38,000 with half paid by a grant. She explained this would be roughly the same cost as attempting to repair the current playground set. The council agreed to pursue the option for a new set.

The next regular meeting is set for Monday, Jan. 26 at 6:30 p.m.
