association. This item to be,placed on the Agenda for Oct 23.
White Oaks Unit 4 Plat - Unit 4 shows a sidewalk on one side since the nature
trail does not affect Unit 4. The preliminary plat was approved with sidewalks on
both sides of the streets, The council felt that they must follow the items that
were actually listed and approved on the preliminary plat. The homeowners
association follows that covenant that is written. This information will need to be
presented to the Homeowners Association so that all parties are clear as to what
needs to be done. The issue of a sidewalk along Fox Rd. from White Oaks
needs to be defined and finalized.
Sunset Annexation -The annexation agreement will be presented to the council
on November 20.
SSES - The SSES loan order has been distributed for review. This item will be
placed on the agenda for October 23.
Audit -There is one correction yet to be made that is in the financial statement
regarding the loan at the Yorkville National Bank. It does not show payment
reduction on the loan. A question was raised if this error would translate into
other parts of the audit. A letter needs to be received from the auditor, with
regards to this correction, before the audit can be placed for vote at the October
23 council meeting.
Treasurer's Report -The June, July, August, and September are to be placed on
the October 23 agenda for approval.
Award Contract for Streets -The street project would include Spring St. with
curbs. This project would have about $30,000 left over funds. These funds
would be maintained as rollover funds. There was also discussion on the new
Mobile Police Communication system. There is also a grant to be received and
the city would only have to produce $12,000 to $13,000. The new police
equipment would allow for a higher performance of police officers. It would allow
i
them to receive information more quickly and allow them less down time at the
station. This equipment would allow for calls to be more private also. A
resolution is needed to identify the rollover of funds from the prior budget year
and of the $115,000 to be used for streets and for the MDT equipment. This
item needs to be placed on the October 23 agenda.

A public complaint has been made with regards to the School Buses being
parked "around town". The school buses currently are without a home.
A complaint with regards to a "Bobcat on a trailer" parked too close to the comer
on Hillcrest. Residents say that it is obstructing vision.
Executive session with regards to hiring and firing has been tabled.
