Burgess Barnes reported there were twelve residents that refused to get their meters changed out. They will have until October 20, 2023, to do so or their water will be turned off.

Burgess Barnes announced the October 23rd Workshop is cancelled.

Under reports from the Commissioners, Commissioner Rittelmeyer had nothing to report.

Commissioner Case had a few questions on the water meters. He also suggested making the alleys in town one way or putting mirrors up where driveways connect to alleys. Commissioner Rittelmeyer suggested changing the speed limit to 15 mph.

Commissioner Cutshall inquired on left over funds from the Skatepark and suggested putting security cameras up. Burgess Barnes informed him the left-over funds would be funding rails on the skatepark.

Commissioner Cutshall inquired about who owns the railway that runs through Woodsboro. He would like to contact them for a few repairs.

Under New Business, Burgess Barnes provided a handout of a sign for the skatepark and suggested the money raised by a committee be used for cameras instead of the sign.

Burgess Barnes reported that he is attending the Fall MML Conference October 15th thru the 17th.

Under comments from the public, Anthony Johnson, South Second Street, was in attendance to discuss a white truck and trailer that is parked along the street. He informed the Council that he and a friend had both spoken to the Code Enforcement Officer about getting it moved off the street. Burgess Barnes will speak with the Code Enforcement Officer.
