February 19, 2008 | MENDON -- City Council consisted
of many issues Thursday evening, one of which involved
a burglary. Win Gardner, director of the Mendon Library,
announced during the police portion of the meeting that
her home was broken into within the last month while
she and her husband were at church.
"They entered in the back door. We didn't lock our
doors that day," said Gardner
"Let that be a lesson to each of us to lock our doors,"
said Mayor Mike Morgan.
According to Deputy Matt Hansen, there have been a
series of burglaries and thefts in the area.
Other issues Hansen brought up were parking citations.
According to Hansen, all who are parked on the road
after midnight will receive a parking citation through
April. Another concern is "joy-riding" on snowmobiles
in local areas.
"Snowmobiles are only to be used to get from home
to the hills," Morgan said.
A representative from the youth council was also present
and updated the city council on their most recent dance.
He also asked for $600 for "clean and comfortable music
to listen to" that could be used at future dances.
Councilman George PeWeese announced the appointing
of new members on the library member board.
PeWeese also announced a new board being formed of
five committee members and one recorder. This board
will interview individuals who have had flooding in
their homes or are in a high risk area. The board will
collect the data and expand the 2003 engineering report.
They will then focus on finding funds other than the
city to repair the damage done by flooding, he said.
During the public hearing, Councilman Jason Wooden
read the changes in the city subdivision ordinance.
The largest change was chapter three of the ordinance.
This chapter is on conservation subdivision. Conservation
subdivisions allow the developer to cluster the houses
at a higher density as long as the extra land is used
for conservation, said Wooden.
City council meetings are the second Thursday of each
month. For the time and location, visit the city Web
