The Clerk reported that the brush cutter was pull-type that she knew about.  The City needs a mounted one.

A building permit for the Helen Blew property (Roger Blew and Christine Reed) was presented to approve the construction of a storage shed and a fence.  A motion was made to approve the building, but not the fence.  The motion was made by Marty Thompson, seconded by Brad McKee and motion carried.  The reason for no approval on the fence was that the Council needs more detailed information as well as where exact property lines, etc. are located.

The building permit for Oscar Mason's portable building was not returned for approval.  Nor was a building permit for Rodney Mason for a building.  The Clerk will contact them.

A building permit was presented by kay & Elmer Hopkins to add a sunroom onto the south side of their home on the cement slab that is already there.  They also included a permit for a privacy fence along the west property line.  A motion was made by Marty Thompson, seconded by Brad McKee to tentatively approve the sunroom, but not the fence.  Motion carried. A regular motion for approval will be done at the November meeting as well as the Council needing more information on the fence, property line, etc.  This permit was not on the posted agenda.

Ray's Longbranch Beer Permit was up for renewal.  A motion to approve the renewal of it was made by Marty Thompson, seconded by Sharon Sines and motion carried.

The Geo.

The Council then spent some time on the Mitigation Pre-Disaster plan.

A motion to adjourn was made by Brad McKee, seconded by Marty Thompson and meeting adjourned at 8:50 pm
