The Sheridan City Council, at their regular meeting Monday, started the process of applying for a CDBG grant to remove debris from the old schoolhouse as well as tear down some abandoned homes. They identified nine potential structures that could be removed. The removal of the structures needs to be signed off on by the owners, who must put up at least a $500 match. The city will document the blight along with their grant.
Breann (O'Riley) Simmons of the Northwest Missouri Regional Council went through the process with the city at the meeting. The city will dig out old existing ordinances and pass new ones where appropriate. There will be a public hearing at their next meeting for public comment. The city already has a nuisance ordinance.
The city gave Jerry and Valerie Rauch permission to fence off an area northeast of the Housing so that people can't park there. The road on Fourth and Crescent used to be square; there is an old marker on the northeast corner of the Housing where the road used to be. There was a square corner at Third & Crescent as well. A map of Sheridan from the 1960's that was up on the old City Hall/Quad River News/Sheridan Express building showed all the corners as square. Over the years, people cutting corners on the road have taken 20 feet off their property. There has been a problem with people parking on what is supposed to be the city right of way east of the Housing.
The city will send one letter of violation for sewer ditches and brush and another for unmowed grass and junk.
A tube washed out under the sewer crossing near Dan Barnett's and the late Bud Allee residence. The road is closed. The city is in the process of getting a new tube.
Kids put picnic tables up on top of the shelter house. They later came and took them back down.
