Resolution No. 17-23 Resolution to approve new regulations regarding EFV Installation for Gas System was introduced and caused to be read.  McCain moved to approve Resolution No. 17-23, Goodrich Seconded and upon roll call the vote was unanimous ayes.

Discussion and action was taken on Sponsorship for 2017 Wellman Chamber of Commerce.  Administrator recommended that we give $1500.  These funds go toward the purchase of the Fireworks for the 4th of July function.   McCain moved to approve the donation of $1500, Seconded by Owens, 4 voted aye and Freeman abstained.

City Administrator recommended to Council that the alley located at 308 4thStreet not be vacated or shut down to the public.  McCain also brought up another situation of homeowners disputing property lines along an alley way.  Litwiller indicated that she has spoke with these homeowners several times and suggested they get a survey completed then the owners would know facts.  Bontrager moved that the City not vacate or close alley located to the east of 308 4th Street as it is not in the best interest of the City, Seconded by Goodrich and all voted aye.

Discussion was had regarding the new Fireworks laws going into effect.  Council would like to have a year to make decision on how to proceed with the Wellman City Code.  As of now, the City Code will remain the same.

Owens moved to approve the DNR Construction Permit for Water Plant Membrane Replacement, Seconded by Freeman and all voted aye.

Addendum to Real Estate Purchase Agreement for Starbeck-Miller Property was presented to council.  This extension will allow for the City to get a few inspections completed prior to taking possession and receive assistance from the DNR for the cost of them.  The closing date is set for August 5th per the addendum.  McCain moved to approve the addendum, Seconded by Bontrager and all voted aye.

Miller mentioned that the Wellman Rotary Club will be applying for a grant through the district for a sidewalk/path along 13th Street North of Parkside Activity Center from 6th Ave to main entrance of the North Park.  Once the grant is approved the Wellman Rotary would like to request the City put funds toward the project as well.  This will be brought back to the table at later date, but to think about the project.  This will be the first steps to a larger project of extending trail around the park, down Ginkgo to HWY 22.

With no further business to be discussed Freeman moved for adjournment at 6:00 pm, McCain seconded and all voted aye.  The next regular City Council Meeting will be Monday, June 19, 2017 at 5:30pm in the Council Chambers of the Wellman Municipal Building.
