The City of Grant City has around 40-50 delinquent taxes, some dating back to 2004. City Administrator Meggan Brown reported at the Grant City Council Meeting of May 18th that she is checking into procedures for delinquent taxes.
As of May 18th, the city had 12 applications for lifeguards.
Elaina Goff came to discuss a toilet leak at Orilla’s Way. Her water bill was $4,000 instead of the usual $1,000. The city agreed to a payment plan. City city is in the process of putting in electronic meters so that customers can monitor water usage and sign up for alerts at City Hall. The goal is to put all customers on new meters. Public Works Director Carl Staton reported that city crews were putting in the new meters as time allows.
Jeanie Fletchall was there to discuss sewage running from neighbors’ sewers onto her property and into her lagoon. She said that it was hurting her property valuation. Currently, there are 13 people who are not on city sewer. The goal is to eventually hook all of them onto city sewer. City ordinances require that if any of these households sell, the new customer must get on city sewer. City Administrator Meggan Brown will look into state ARPA funds for water and sewer projects.
Brown will try and get a key for Dogman’s building to proceed with a lead and asbestos assessment.
Public Works Director Carl Staton reported that the city is still getting locates for the new high speed Internet for the city. There were no dogs put down last month.
The pool is being worked on to prepare for opening. A new pump is needed; Staton could only find one available for a cost of $10,000. He said he needed one as soon as possible because he could not predict how much longer the current one would run. The council voted to authorize him to spend up to $10,000 for a new pump. He will check with different companies to see if he can find one for a lower cost.
The city will be receiving three bids for an upcoming chip and seal project.
The council voted to repeal its ordinance against pit bulls. The state passed a law saying that cities could not specify dog breeds. Such dogs still have to follow local city ordinances.
New mulch has been put in for the playground.
City workers will be doing lagoon, wastewater, and water training.
The city has ordered two loads of cold mix.
Building permits were discussed. Building permits cannot be approved until all neighbors’ signatures are received.
