the baseball field behind him. He said a 1/2 inch of rainfall results in 2 inches of water in his yard. Mr.
Wahl said he never had a problem with this until the baseball field was redone. Mayor Galligan said he
has some possible solutions to fix the problem. The Mayor said he would have Engineer Dixon take
some shots of the area. Mayor Galligan said if Mr. Wahl's yard is too low he couldn't guarantee that he
can fix the problem. Mr. Wahl said the city fixed their drainage problem at the baseball park but created
one for him. Attorney Sprawls said they would wait to hear from the City.

Waiz and carried unanimously.

failure to remove the vehicles and signs from his "Golf to Go" storage in the 2800 block of Cooper's
Lane. Mr. Harbeson was cited previously and has not complied. Planning and Zoning Director Padgett
said he would attempt to contact Mr. Harbeson by certified mail.
CITATION
Building Commissioner Gavin said the property at 3625 Hamburg Pike owned by Gary Mattingly has
been cited numerous times for lack of exterior maintenance and the problem has not been resolved.
Building Commissioner Gavin recommended having the city clean it up and bill Mr. Mattingly's taxes.
The house is not being lived in at this time. There is no electricity, the fence needs repairing and the
grass and weeds need to be cut. City Attorney Galligan said the statute regarding this has changed and it
can now be charged to the next tax bill and if not paid, the house can be put up for tax sale. She said it
could also be cited as a fire hazard. Engineer Miller made the motion to send a notice to Gary Mattingly
giving him 10 days to take care of the problem and if he doesn't comply he will be fined $100.00 per
day, seconded by Councilperson Waiz and carried unanimously.

#1,300.00 and the Joyce's appraisal was $2,500.00. Attorney Galligan recommended that the city settle
with the Joyce's for a total of $2,500.00. Councilperson Waiz made the motion to approve the damage
award to $2,500.00 instead of $1,300.00, seconded by Engineer Miller and carried unanimously. The

re: Grievance filed by: Sgt. Sam Veals
After our discussion on Thursday, August 22nd. with the Union Executive Board,
I feel that a honest mistake may have been made by Major Carter. There may have been
several rules that conflict concerning this issue, and the union agreed to make some
minor adjusting to prevent this from happening again.
I also feel that since Sgt. Veals lost no time, I can't give him 1 1/2 days relief he
requested.
Yours In Safety
