The Roosevelt County Sheriff’s Office report included 13 calls for service, one arrest and four citations. The report applies only to town limits.
During public comment, Panasuk said she is trying to get access to her land behind Gracie’s Bar & Casino. According to draft minutes, Pamasuk said she will be meeting with the State Highway Department regarding the matter. Panasuk asked if the town would develop a road that had not been previously developed in the past between the railroad tracks and Gracie’s.
Cemetery committee members said they will be addressing the council about plans for a new fence and tree plantings at the May meeting.
Romo said the cemetery railroad crossing warning sign is missing. He said the pole is there, but no sign. He suggested the current yield signs at the crossing be replaced with stop signs. He also suggested requesting crossing arms be installed at the cemetery crossing. Romo said he will visit with BNSF.
Water loss of 8 percent was reported for March.
