Magee Board of Alderman met Tuesday, February 18, 2020 for their regular scheduled meeting.
Mayor Berry reported pot holes would be addressed as soon as the weather and rain cease. Berry advised sweeper had not been used due to wet weather. The sweeper will not work proper when roads are wet. Again, as soon as the weather lifts and the streets dry out the sweeper will be back in action. The ran and wet sod has delayed work projects in the cemetery. Berry reminded citizens again the importance of the census and to make sure everyone is accounted for. Berry pleas for everyone to please complete the census.
An updated was given on the YMCA senior care building. The floor has been completed and small items to be completed are all that are lacking. Trim work and shutters hopefully will be completed in the coming weeks.
Joseph Barnes addressed the board asking for help with youth baseball. Barnes has a Magee team that plays league play and wanted to know if he could use the city facilities to practice ball. Barnes wants to grow the youth program and looked to the city for guidance on if any assistance could be offered. The board advised Barnes to meet with Park Director David Dunn and see what the two could work out and come back before the board at a later date.
Due to rain and project not being completed at the airport the board voted to suspend hanger rental fee until the airport project is completed.
The board approved a resolution request to apply for state money if available. The money would have to be used for the purpose of roads, bridges, water or sewer.
The fire department presented equipment for surplus. Engine 3 pumper is what was approved for surplus.
The board approved to increase the cost of accidents reports to $35.00 per report. The new reports require more time and paper work. The one page incidents report will remain $25.00. The increase is effective immediately.
With no further business meeting was adjourned.
