Violations of parking and trash ordinances were discussed at the Grant City Council Meeting Wednesday, December 20th.
Donald Mancuso attended the meeting to discuss concerns about parking at Crestwood. He has trouble getting in and out of his driveway due to people parking on both sides of the street in front of the apartments. The city has an ordinance indicating there is no parking on city right of way. The city will put up no parking signs and then start towing vehicles that continue to park on city right of way.
City Administrator Meggan Brown reported that she has had complaints about people burning trash and leaving trash all over their yard. Every citizen in Grant City pays for trash service, unless they pay Porter for a dumpster. The city will send letters of violation.
Michael Chapman had a water leak and attended the meeting to get 50% off his water and sewer bill for December.
There will be a public hearing on January 17th to discuss the Demolition Grant. The city’s in-kind match is estimated to be $163,000, which includes fill dirt, hauling, and seeding.
Public Works Director Carl Staton reported that the furnace in the sheriff’s office is old; it only blows out in the hallway from a small square vent. Warner Heating & Air will give a quote for a new furnace.
The city had a water leak on Thanksgiving. There is a gas valve leaking by the water building. They plan to replace the valve next summer.
The council approved a building permit for the County of Worth for a new county barn.
The custodian at the city quit. Meggan Brown and Farrah Richey will take turns staying to do the cleaning. If that happens, they will have to come in an hour late the next day so that they are not over their 40 hours. The council will advertise for a new custodian.
