Sanne moved to approve the parking area and entrance on the west side of the ballfield. Doty seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.

City Administrator Tarr stated that the Plainview Ballbackers had expressed interest in creating a separate t-ball field. The field would not include any permanent structures and the space would be held until needed. Sanne moved to approve the space for the t-ball field. Janovec seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.

Plainview Public Schools had expressed interest in creating a permanent football practice field as well as rebuilding the shot put and discus areas on property owned by the City of Plainview. The City allows the school to use the ballfields for practices in season. Currently the school was practicing on the outfield of the Legion field for football. The paving of Lincoln Avenue also resulted in the shot and discus areas to be relocated. The creation of the new practice field would result in closing down the east side entrance to the softball fields. Sanne moved to allow Plainview Public Schools to build a football practice field and rebuild the shot put and discus areas. Janovec seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.

City Administrator Tarr stated that once valuations from the county were received, in depth conversation of the budget would occur. A budget workshop will be held on Wednesday, September 3 at 6:00 PM at the library.

Public comments were received from several in attendance.

Annette Evans requested to look into grants for paving of streets and also permission for citizens to maintain the gravel roads by their properties.

Jim Krause stated that the creation of the parking area and entrance to the west of the ballfields cannot begin until the PBCF approves it at their next monthly meeting.

Melissa Doerr requested to speak with the Mayor, council member Sanne and Police Chief Hallock following the meeting.

Police Chief Hallock addressed budget items for the police department including a new vehicle and repairs to the new office due to water leaking inside.

Annette Evans stated that everyone needs to work as a team and a reminder to be transparent with the public when the City is conducting business.

City Administrator Tarr apologized to the pool manager and assistant manager for an incident that occurred in July at the pool. The pool policies are to be followed by everyone and the pool staff was doing their job by ensuring that they were enforced. Melissa Hoffart, a member of the Advisory Board for the Parks and Pools, supported the staff at the pool and thanked them for everything they do to keep the pool operating during the summer.

Kevin Weber had questions on the access to the soccer fields with the paving project still being completed and concerns about the new bathrooms that were purchased by the City for baseball and softball season.

Sanne moved to adjourn the meeting. Janovec seconded. Motion carried 4-0

You are hereby notified that the commercial building situated on the premises above mentioned has been determined to be an unsafe building and a nuisance after inspection by the Plainview Chief of Police. The causes for this decision are:

The east wall has a crack from the top of the building almost to the foundation that is so substantial that it has breached the entire building, thereby making it possible to see completely through the wall.

You must remedy this condition or demolish the building within sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of this notice or the City will proceed to do so.
