Bainville Council Talks Sidewalk Repairs
The regular meeting of the Bainville Town Council was called to order at 7 p.m. Feb. 12, at the Bainville town hall. Guests included Diane Panasuk, Eric Newton and Kari Glas.
Council member Will Rathbun moved to approve regular meeting minutes for Jan. 8 and the motion passed unanimously.
During public comment, Diane Panasuk requested to have the water shut off at 311 Clinton Street. She also asked why she is being charged the commercial rate for garbage for the shop by the old bank. Mayor Toby Romo stated that it is not a residential house, therefore it is a commercial building. Romo also stated how the town does not charge her for garbage for her storage units, making it a fair deal for both her and the town.
Panasuk also said the nuisance letter that was sent to the assistant county attorney for the residence at 311 Clinton Street had the wrong address on it. She said she talked to the ACA and said that she told him she would try to have it resolved by end of March.
