1 1 1 133 August 16, 1976 ion and telling his men what to do. Mr. Mobley felt his suggestions were only tips - he was merely pointing out things that should be finished. Mr. Karth moved to dismiss the tickets and remove the red tags based on information presented at this meeting. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Locher immediately. Mr. Zelinka said if the Building Inspector has a reasonable reason for entering prop- erty, he cannot legally be kept from entering that property. There was the matter of the ticket on the model home in Shenandoah, Mr. Rehbein said he does not own that house, therefore, the ticket cannot be issued to him. Mr. McLean moved to dismissed this complaint in that it was issued to the improper party, Mr. Glenn Rehbein - should have been issued to Northway Construction Co. Sec- onded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schneider asked Mr. Mobley if he felt his authority had been taken away - can he work with Mr. Rehbein in conjunction with the development of Shenandoah? Mr. Mobley said he apparently owed these gentlemen an apology and he apoligized. He did not see any problems in working with these developers. He asked to meet with the builders and go over the State Building Code. Mr. Rehbein suggested going through the entire City and clean up the whole thing. Mr. Karth felt this is what is trying to be done - the Council is well aware of this problem. Mr. Rehbein asked where the Building Inspector had been employed before he came here. Mr. Mobley gave a short summary. His entire resume' is on file in the City Hall and open for inspection to anyone. Mr. Allan Robinson said that he hadn't removed any dirt - he is merely cleaning the ditches in order to store water to be used for irrigation. He said some of the dirt is being returned to the sod fields and some is being sold. He has permits from the Rice Creek Watershed Board to clean the ditches. The permit for the North side of Main Street has an incorrect legal description. The section is listed as the SEµ of the SE4 and should be the SW4 of the SW4. Mr. McLean said in order to sell the dirt, Mr. Robinson would need a mining permit. Mr. Robinson asked what kind of costs? he felt that 15T per cu. yd. is more than the dirt can be sold for. There was discussion on the costs involved and the inadequacy of the present Ordin- ance. Mr. McLean felt this Ordinance should be cleaned up and the Rice Creek Water- shed Board controls the ditches - the City has no authority. Mr. Karth said in order to give Mr. Robinson time to get a permit to sell dirt he moved to suspend the red taggs on the shovel and the ditch cleaning and instruct the Attorney to dismiss the charges. Also, to contact the Rice Creek Watershed Board to correct the discription on the permit. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
