City of Red Bud Code Enforcement Committee met Aug. 25.

Here is the agenda as provided by the Committee:

Old Business

I.         East Industrial Park Property Barrier          

Code Administrator Mueller said that after contacting four nurseries, he would like permission to meet with Fred of Shady Creek Nursery to get a bid for 30 trees, probably river birch, brandy wine or autumn blaze maples, planted every 20 feet. Mueller will have the bid ready for approval in October, trees to be planted in November. This barrier should be good for at least twenty years. Committee Member Donjon suggested also buying five or six trees for the sports complex at the same time. 

New Business

I.         Approval of Prior Month’s Meeting Minutes – Meeting July 25, 2016

Recommendation made by Committee Member Hanebutt, seconded by Committee Member Thompson, to approve the minutes from the July 25, 2016 meeting. Carried

II.       Property Maintenance Ordinance

Code Administrator Mueller distributed a “Property Maintenance Violations” list he created for consideration, to be used as a tool to take care of nuisances and make solutions enforceable. This is for discussion and eventually will be put in an ordinance.

III.       Public Comments/Anything for the Good of the City (Discussion Only)

Code Administrator Mueller stated that the trailer on Veteran St. has been turned over to the police department to be ticketed.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:32 P.M.
