In public forum, Mary Swalley spoke in regards to City garbage fees.  She questioned council why residents who don’t use the garbage pickup must still pay the fee.  Miller explained that this is a fee that the city is charged from Cox Sanitation and that is required for all residents to pay.

Council then moved into the Town Hall Meeting to discuss potential use of former Senior Dining/ALC Facility at east end of City Hall.  Miller presented residents with a diagram of the dimensions of the building that’s up for discussion and explained that the city is looking for ideas from the community on how to utilize the space.  Carol Wilkins, Wellman Scofield Public Library director, started by giving some history of the library and explained how they would like to expand the library by using this space.  She also explained that if given this opportunity that they would need to look into grants before they could get started on the expansion and this could take some time.  Wilkins along with much support from residents in attendance expressed that they would like to see a decision made as soon as possible due to not wanting to lose out on potential grants that are available.  Kim Minette spoke on behalf of the New Life Church, she explained that they are in need of a bigger office space and when she became aware that the space at the city was available the church felt that they could utilize this space by having a bigger office and possibility of group meeting areas.  Miller stated that this item will be on the next meeting’s agenda for further discussion and approval.  Miller then invited anyone interested to take a look at the available space next door.

With no further business to be discussed Bontrager moved for adjournment at 5:48pm, McCain seconded and all voted aye.  The next regular City Council Meeting will be Monday, October 16, 2017 at 5:30pm in the Council Chambers of the Wellman Municipal Building.

Minutes transcribed by the City Clerk subject to Council Approval.
