New Business and Public Comment:
Chylene Whipple would like the lines painted on the town streets.
She is working with a representative of Safe Routes to school for children at Six County AOG regarding the concern of children crossing highway 24 to get to school.
Doug Roberts presented his plant to bring his tiny house in from Blue Valley and also to build a garage. The buildings won’t be attached to each other and he will make it look professional. Mayor Pei reviewed his drawing to make sure he is in compliance and signed Mr. Roberts building permit. Doug will now proceed to go to Wayne County for a building permit. He will be applying for a sewer and water connection.
