REPORTS FROM ADDITIONAL MEETINGS ATTENDED
The Chairman did not attend a meeting but had several phone conversations about the development of Hidden Meadows. The owner was asked to come before the board once his plans were finalized and the sewer and water lines were in working order.
OLD BUSINESS
1. The clerk had contacted LARM about removing the tractor from Inglewood’s insurance policy, this resulted in a $13.56 refund off the premium. The clerk also checked into increasing the deductible and the agent said the savings is so minimal that it would not be worth changing the deductible amount. The trustees agreed and directed the clerk to not change the deductible amounts on the policy.
2. The clerk had checked into purchasing a soccer goal for park. The city of Fremont sent the clerk the goals they purchase but it was decided by the trustees to start with a smaller, cheaper option. The trustees approved the clerk to spend up to $250.00 for the new goal.
3. NDOT sent an invoice for $23,563.40 for the final payment for the Cloverly project. The clerk spoke with the NDOT representative that had sent the invoice and he said they have three years to finalize a project, The additional invoice was from an invoice the city of Fremont had submitted to NDOT for work they had done on the project. The trustees asked the clerk to do more checking into what the payment was for before paying it and report back at the next meeting. The payment is on hold until the next meeting.
4. The clerk was directed to put a notice in the Small Talk reminding residents that building permits are required for any improvements made by the owners. Several property owners have had new roof installed and have not gotten the required permit. Per Inglewood ordinances, all improvements can be required to be removed if a permit is not obtained before the project starts. Contact the clerk with any permit needs.
AGENDA
1. The clerk had sent notices to 13 residents asking them to renew their conditional use permits. Only 6 renewal applications were returned to the clerk. The permits approved were for Bassett – nursery and childcare, Niles - storage and paint business, Joseph – screen business, McKinley – Chickens and Wilcox – lawn service business. The clerk was directed to send reminder notices to the residents that did not return their applications and give them until the next meeting to return them or lose their conditional use permit.
2. The chairman gave more information on the conversations he has had with Rodger Menn about wanting to begin developing the 18 lots at Hidden Meadows. The sewer and water lines will need to be examined and repaired if needed. The City of Fremont will check the lines and approve that the proper flow is obtained for the additional houses before the project can start. Menn had previously come before the trustees with plans to make single family homes with the garage on the bottom to comply with the flood plain regulations. Once the lines are approved Menn will come before the board with his plans for the Hidden Meadows addition. The chairman also approved the numbering for addresses in the addition. The addition will use 500’s with even numbers on the north side and odd numbers on the south side of the street.
NEW BUSINESS AND COMPLAINTS
1. The clerk received a bid for painting and repairing the safety poles in the village park. The poles will be straightened and painted Husker red. A bid for $300.00 was accepted but up to $500.00 was approved since the trustees want an industrial outside paint used. The motion was made by J. Nielsen and second from Clausen.
