At 10:47 a.m. Ron Moyer met with the Board to discuss Country Acres Care. Aistrope stated that the meeting was being recorded and asked those present to state their names. Present were John Whipple, Chuck Larson, Sandie Sillers. June Hardy, Ron Moyer and David Aistrope. Moyer asked what the next procedure would be with Country Acres Care. The Board explained that they are waiting on the Attorney to get papers ready; that there would have to be another publication and public hearing since it had been too long since the last one. Aistrope said they were waiting on a resolution. Alan Cross of the Valley News arrived at 10:50 a.m. Larson said they would go back to where they were after the last public hearing when a decision to sell was stopped on advice of the County Attorney's opinion. He stated that a decision would be made on the offer they had at that time.
Moyer then said he would go on to the issue of zoning in Fremont County on junk cars and asked what the procedure is. The Board said the Sheriff gives names of properties to be cleaned up to the County Engineer; the County Engineer sends a letter, and if it is not complied with, a ticket will be issued. Moyer said he feels it should be acted upon sooner than what is being done; before the junk cars get stacked up and the situation gets out of hand and then has to be cleaned up. He said the problem is spreading across the county and it is devaluating property value. County Engineer Dan Davis arrived at 11:05 a.m. Davis said there needs to be an ordinance change and they are working on that. He stated it might need to be addressed as an amendment to the new ordinance they are working on. He said he would keep pushing that and would try to keep writing tickets; that they can write tickets for $100.00 a day and then the person has to appear before the Magistrate and go from there.

Further discussion will be on the agenda for June 7 at 9:00 a.m.

At 10:15 a.m. Bobbie Mather and Ken Mather met with the Board to discuss maintenance on their road, which is in the city limits but is maintained by the county. Also present was County Engineer Dan Davis. Ken Mather stated that the north end of their road was a disaster after the last heavy rain due to the way it was left after construction for the bypass. He said he was told by the State DOT when they started the bypass that they would rock and take care of the road after the construction but it has not been done. Dan Davis said he would get in touch with the DOT observation person or Brian Morrissey and try to get the problem taken care of. The Board felt that since the road is in the city limits that the mayor should also be involved. Bobbie Mather said they have always had problems with potholes and when the road is graded the holes are filled in but it only lasts about three days. He said the potholes need to be cut out.
Motion was made by Larson to approve minutes of the April 26 Board meeting. Whipple, aye; Larson, aye; Aistrope, aye.
At 10:42 a.m., there being no further business, motion was made by Larson to adjourn. Whipple, aye; Larson, aye; Aistrope, aye.
