Mike Kelley Thanked everyone for their work cleaning up after the storm. He said that if anyone has any questions or problems with the Wyres/Kelley properties to please contact them. He advised that the house on Pike Street will be torn down and removed this fall.
Leonard Akers asked about NFIP insurance. Teresa advised that she had spoken with FEMA representatives, checked their website and called local insurance agents. As far as FEMA is concerned we are a member of the NFIP. The FEMA website doesn't list Fairview Park as either belonging or not belonging and the insurance agent has been out of the office. Jeff Gosnell advised that he had flood insurance. Teresa will continue to check the status.
Leonard also advised that we may want to check with Congressman Ellsworth's office on grants as we may need to re-apply. Larry will check. Questions were asked whether Jeff Beverly had been in contact with the Town before putting up the pole barn and removing the sidewalk on Fourth Street. No one had been contacted.
Mrs. Nestler asked if a business could come into Fairview Park without Board approval. She was advised that Fairview Park has no zoning, so it was possible. It was advised that the rumors she had been hearing concerning fast food restaurants on First Street were untrue, but there was a possibility of a retirement complex being built there.
Mike Kelley requested that the trees be trimmed on Parke Street and asked the Town to contact the cable and telephone companies asking them to move their cables to the new poles on Parke. Teresa will write a letter requesting same.
A motion was made by Norma and seconded by Janet to pay the Town claims in the amount of $9,494.44, the wastewater claims of $6,294.87 and the Water department claims in the amount of $11,326.42. The motion carried by voice vote.
