Under new business, Mr. Mike Hahn, HOA President for Woodbury was on the agenda but was not in attendance.
Carol Tressler and Howard Sparkman, Woodbury Drive, was in attendance to discuss parking their landscape work truck and trailer on the street. They reported receiving a notice from the Code Enforcement Officer informing them they could not leave the truck there overnight. They
asked for an exception. After a brief discussion it was decided to allow them to park there until it could be researched. A motion to allow the truck and trailer to sit there until the August 8th meeting passed 3 – 0.
Mr. Troy Linton, South Main Street, was in attendance to ask for a reduction in his water/sewer bill and explained it was high due to a leaky toilet that he did not hear. The Council explained to him that the town has expenses to get the water to the residents and that if a reduction was given to one then they would have to give to every resident and the town cannot afford to do that. The consensus was to not give a reduction on the bill.
Mr. Stephen Shugarts, Adams Street and a new resident to the town, was in attendance because he was interested in the town. Burgess Barnes asked Mr. Shugart to be an alternate on the Planning and Zoning Commission and he graciously accepted.
There being no further business, a motion to adjourn the meeting passed 4 – 0.
