During the July 22 meeting of the Guthrie Center City Council, Mark and Derrik Bauer (Tri-County Lumber) spoke regarding the city’s plans for building and selling a home at 907 Main St. The public hearing on the issue had been set for July 22 but was rescheduled to Aug. 12.
Mayor Mike Herbert informed the council of a meeting/survey set for this week.
“I was approached by (Guthrie County Supervisor) Steve Smith in reference to talking to some individuals about the EMS (countywide plan),” Herbert said.
Herbert said the purpose is to gather information from citizens about their feelings on the issue. The meeting was set for Wednesday, July 24. Councilmember Garold Thomas and City Clerk Kris Arrasmith said they would attend on behalf of the city.
Councilmember Carolyn Masters shared a concern. She noted that while lawns are generally being mowed adequately, weeds have become a common problem. She encouraged residents to make sure weeding and trimming is done when needed so the city can look its best.
“Nobody pays any attention to the weeds,” she said.
Lacquerisha Hall was appointed to replace Jessica Langgaard on the MJB Library Board.
As part of the consent agenda, the council approved two building permit requests (a fence permit for 100 N. 12thSt. and a fence permit for 910 N. 13th St.).
The next regular meeting of the council will be Monday, Aug. 12. The public is welcome.
