An update on the new bathhouse was provided. The Women’s Club would like to get a bench for under the pool sign with a sign dedicated to Perry Hekkel in honor of the large donation from the Hekkel family for the bathhouse.
The Roosevelt County Sheriff’s Office report had 47 calls for services, two arrests and 20 citations.
The council discussed concerns from citizens who called to the office and mayor about the oil tanks being stored on a lot on the east side on town. Currently, there is nothing in town ordinances that would prohibit the tanks from being stored in the commercial zoned lot. Mayor Gabriel spoke to the owner and the tanks are only being stored there temporarily.
