Council President Moran stated the water report is available at City Hall for public inspection. Council Member Whisler stated that he liked the detail provided in the water report. Council Member Moran would like a summary of the water report. He feels that a summary would be easier for the Council Members to understand.

Council President Moran presented the maintenance report for April.

Regarding Agenda Item #1, PSC President Hansen provided a timeline and presented parts of the project that could impact the City.  The college was awarded $7.5 million with $5 million being available in July of 2012. The college must raise $1.5 million in order to receive the other $2.5 million so the college is working on that.  By the end of the 2012 football season the college plans to begin the portion of the project that will widen the field, add lighting, expand seating, and correct the drainage issues.  President Hansen feels that only the drainage repair and the presence of equipment will impact the city during this portion of the renovation.  Council Member Moran pointed out that the city sewer does run under the current seating.  President Hansen stated that the engineers would look over all of that and that he will mention the sewer to Bruce Batterson at the college. President Hansen stated that he will come back again with the engineering studies.  It is possible that the 2013 football schedule will be rescheduled so that all games will be out of town so that the field portion of the project can start.  If that does not happen, they will play the 2013 season on the grass and start the project after the completion of that season.

Regarding Agenda Item#2, Angela Allgood o/b/o the Peru Chamber was present and stated the Chamber is in full swing planning Old Man River Days. Council Member Hastings made a motion to donate $300 to the Chamber. Motion was seconded by Council Member Whisler.  Vote indicated:  All “AYE”.  Motion: Carried  

Regarding Agenda Item#3, Council Member Whisler made motion to ratify the phone poll conducted on Friday, April 18th to allow Cotty’s to serve on-sale alcohol until 2:00a.m. on Friday, April 20th.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Hastings.  Vote indicated: “AYE” All.   Motion:  Carried

Regarding Agenda Item #4, City Clerk Cindy Moran stated that recently Glen Hogue resigned as Zoning Administrator.  Moran stated she spoke with Mr. Hogue and he has agreed to renegotiate his contract.  Council Member Whisler made motion to approve the revised Zoning Administrator Agreement. Motion was seconded by Council Member Moran.  Vote indicated: “AYE’ All.  Motion: Carried.

Regarding Agenda Item #5, Council Member Hastings made motion to ratify the phone poll conducted on 04/19/12 to accept HOA Solutions bid of $27,200 to upgrade the water plant control system.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Whisler.  Vote indicated: “AYE” All.  Motion: Carried.

Regarding Agenda Item #6, Council President Moran stated Nebraska Rural Water conducted a water rate study for the City of Peru.  Council Member Moran stated it was determined by the City Council in October 2008 that rates would not be increased again until October 2012.  Clerk Cindy Moran explained the two options that were provided in the rate study.  The first option was to have a larger increase to the base only and have no change to the per 1,000 gallons used rate.  Option two would be a $5.50 increase to the base rate and a $1.25 increase to the per 1,000 gallons used.  Clerk Moran went on to explain that this study is based on our current debt for the water system, it does not reflect possible future upgrades.  Based on this study we are a little behind on what the rates should be for water.  This was a free study which should have been done years ago. This topic will be brought back on the October Agenda for action.

Regarding Agenda Item #7, The City Clerk explained that no members of the public submitted interest in serving on the Housing Rehab Committee and the Council should serve as this committee.  The Clerk continued to say that business relating to Housing Rehab can be conducted during council meetings and no special meetings would be needed.  Council Member Whisler made motion to have the Peru City Council serve as the Housing Rehab Committee.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Hastings. Vote indicated: “AYE” All.  Motion: Carried.

Regarding Agenda Item #8, Council Member Hastings made motion to adopt Resolution #2012-02: A Resolution to authorize the mayor to sign the pre-application for 2012 owner occupied housing rehabilitation grant application to Nebraska Department of Economic Development and the Mayor is authorized and directed to proceed with the formulation of and all contracts, documents or other memoranda between the City of Peru and the Nebraska Department of Economic Development so as to effect acceptance of the grant application.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Moran. Vote indicated: “AYE” All.  Motion: Carried

Regarding Agenda Item #9 Adopt Resolution #2012-03- A Resolution to authorize Southeast Nebraska Development District to submit National Objective Preapproval Documents to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development for a 2012 CDBG Public Works Application for the Park Avenue Street Project. Discussion took place to explain that this is to see if we could be awarded funds for the project.  The City needs to make sure that funds are available before they consider taking ownership of the road.

Council Member Hastings made a motion to adopt Resolution #2012-03. Motion was seconded by Council Member Moran. Vote indicated “AYE” Moran, Hastings. “NAY” Whisler, Douglas.  Motion:  Tie, no action.  Topic will be revisited at the June 11th Council Meeting.

Regarding Agenda Item #10, Council Member Hastings provided an update to the Council regarding the Park Avenue Project.  Hastings reported the sewer line runs under the street and Auburn Board of Public Works has a camera we can use to check the condition of the sewer line.  If there are no roots compromising the integrity of the sewer line, we would not have to tear up the street to replace the sewer lines.  Council Member Moran stated that no matter who owns the road, the City is responsible for the utilities. 

Regarding Agenda Item #11, Council President Moran stated there have been complaints from property owners regarding cats getting into trash in the area of 7th and Washington.  The Council discussed requesting the property owner to put his trash in receptacles with lids or trapping them and taking them to the vet at the expense of the City.  The need to remove vacant properties that cats are living in was also discussed.  This discussion will be tabled to allow time to get more information.

No members of the public spoke during public voice.

Projects, Buildings and Equipment:

Use of the Town Hall was discussed.  Clarification was needed for what entities pay and which do not.  Hayes stated that the organizations in the Village can use the Town Hall free of charge unless it is used for fund-raising.  Then the usual fee should be charged.  The fee is $35.00 without using the kitchen and $50.00 if the kitchen is used.

Bob Hutton, County Commissioner, was present to discuss the county grading the side of the streets.  He wanted instructions on what the county was expected to do.  He requested that two board members be present when the county did the grading.  The grading will start on Monday, June 18, at 7:00am.

New Business:

Discussion on the brush and small trees that are growing on the side of the streets.  Sue Ann Cowan was concerned about North 4th street going to Walnut Grove Cemetery.  The county has a chipper that can be used by the Village.  Would all the trees be removed, even the desirable ones?  The Village could use citizens who need community service time.  There might be the possibility of a community help group coming in.  This item was tabled at this time.
