Mart Campbell from Newhall asked if a Y type drainage could be put in the back to help channel the drainage to the beehive. Engineer Beaman discouraged this as it could draw more water than currently flowing into that area, and the beehive/storm sewer was not designed for more drainage than what was originally planned.

Clerk will contact the homeowners to share the recommendation.

Council considered three estimates for lawn care of the city properties from TruGreen, Linn Coop, and O’Grady Chemicals. Drahos made a motion to have Linn Coop do the lawn treatment in the future.

City engineer shared that due to easements that are needed for the Daycare, it may be needed for Mike Deklotz to do a final plat. In order to do that, there is a need to either approve the 2005 preliminary plat to be used for final plat, or to do a new prelim plat.

Lack of sidewalks on vacant lots in the newer subdivisions was discussed. It was identified that city code does not address sidewalks on vacant lots until a dwelling is built. It was discussed that some covenants have time periods in which dwellings have to be built after purchase, but the city does not enforce covenants as they are responsibility of development association.

Removal of the rumble strips on Parkridge Rd/71^st Street was discussed. It was suggested to try filling them in with asphalt first, and then pursue cutting them out and replacing them if that did not take. Duball made a motion to have the rumble strips eliminated, Harbach seconded the motion. Ayes: Herman, Duball, Drahos, Harbach and Korsmo. Nays: None. Motion carried.

Speed on 71^st Street by the Pleasant Hill Edition was discussed. Concerned residents, Justin Collum, Seth Patterson, and Luke Franzenburg, shared that many people go faster than 35 MPH and coming from the east, the T-intersection at Deer Ridge and 71^st is difficult to see & react if going faster than 35 MPH. It was proposed to work with the County to add notice signs of the speed limit change sooner, and to work with Benton County Sheriff to have additional enforcement done in that area.

Mayor Becker shared an update on the Landfill Committee. He has been appointed as the vice chair for the committee.

Korsmo asked that we include discussion at the next meeting to include a yield sign at Ridgeview Drive.

Council is looking for an Atkins representative for the Benton County Foundation. If any Atkins resident is interested, he/she should contact Connie Drahos for more information.
