Villager, Mr. Grant was present and commented that on occasion one of the dogs got free from his chain and was in the road, and this continues to be a problem. Attorney David said the only recourse the Village has is to “fine and cite” a resident, after three contacts have been made to the resident and the animal control. Sue made a motion and it was seconded and passed, to have Mayor Davis call Mr. Nicholson, then Mr. Grant should send a copy of his two letters to Mr. Nicholson, and a copy of the lawyer’s letter to the owner of the dog, to the Animal Control Center, and specify that the council would like to see some action taken.

A discussion was started regarding the University Inn Motel wanting to turn the motel into what is called “Condotel”. They would refurbish each unit and sell for $80,000. People would buy, but only be able to live in them for two months out of the year. The rest of the months they would rent them out, quite probably to students. This is not definite, but just in the talking states right now. Much more discussion will have to take place regarding this. The Council would have to see plans in writing before even considering this idea.
A motion was made to adjourn the meeting.
