Trees were trimmed by Arbor Medics around power lines in the alley by Center Street.Council President Bill Rayburn and Bibler discussed another utility pole that was hanging. Bibler said that would probably be the next pole that will need to be worked on.Bibler said he has one street sign to put up by Burket Educational Center. He was able to locate a sign post and will try to put the sign up this weekend. Bibler noted there are no missing signs that he’s noticed.Later in the meeting, Rayburn asked Bibler if Arbor Medics would be interested in some work. Rayburn was contacted by a resident about a tree that fell on their house on Center Street. Rayburn said the tree is on the property line and in the alley. His understanding is that up to the center of the alley is an extension of the property and will have to be taken care of by their insurance. However, he will have to verify that with Town Attorney Austin Rovenstine.Councilwoman Crystal Ellison asked if there was a record of the property owners declaring part of the alley was theirs. Rayburn referenced a town ordinance. He said the position of the town is, if a property is on an alley, property owners have to mow half of that alley and take care of the ground adjacent to the property.Bibler said he would contact Arbor Medics to see if that’s in their scope of work.In other business, the council:• Approved a $500 raise for council members for 2027, the clerk-treasurer and street superintendent if the budget allows.• Discussed whether to put an attorney on retainer to represent the town. The council decided to keep using Rovenstine on an as-needed basis.</div></body>
