4) Parks – Tolby reported an income of $7021.57 for the month.
A. July 12th playground equipment – Kay Kellogg had talked to some people, and they wondered if the 12th of July would work with the city guys to put the playground equipment up. It was felt that another week would be needed to get things organized. Saturday July 19th was the date set to install the playground equipment at Beck Park. In other matters Warren reported that it was caving off by the outhouses at the campground. She was told that it was just the sand caving off due to the rains and it wouldn’t make it as far as the outhouses. The clerk also reported that it was brought to her attention that the Village police officer had been harassing the campers. She stated that it was just hear say and didn’t know if it was true or not. He supposedly told the campers that if they have their beer or whatever in a cooler cup or something they are fine, but they can’t have a six pack or something setting on the table or they will get a ticket. Bolln stated that it has been like that for over twenty years. It was that way when he used to camp there. A sign is posted at the park prohibiting alcohol use. There was discussion about people not being bothered at other parks if they had their alcohol exposed, as long as they are not causing trouble. The clerk stated that she didn’t want the Village to lose their campers if they are not causing any trouble.
5) Streets-
A. Jane Farber – West 10th St. Jane called and asked to have her name taken off the agenda. Jim Nicola told the board that he had talked with Jane about the issue.
B. Marina entrance – The tube that goes across the road entrance into the marina is in need of repair. It was discussed by the board, and since this is private property the Village is not liable for the repairs.
6) Recycling- No income.
A. Nebraska State Recycling Association membership. The Village chose not to make a donation to this organization.

6. Adele Phillips – Center for Rural Affairs. Adele had spoke with the Village board members at the March 2014 board meeting about a grant application that was being submitted involving the communities of Macy, Decatur, Lyons, and Oakland. She has been informed that they were awarded the grant. There will be news articles about it in the Lyons Mirror Sun, Oakland Independent, and Burt County Plaindealer papers. The grant has $200,000 in value and a lot of intangible benefits as well. It will support the location of a public art works in Decatur. What this means for Decatur is there will be a person at Center for Rural Affairs (Adele Phillips) dedicated to you, promoting local filtering creativity in this area and there is funding for a part time temporary position specifically in Decatur. Job applications will be made available at the Sears Center, Museum, and Clerk’s office in Decatur. The council will be regularly updated on the project.

7. Nico Hardeman – Property clean- up. Nico told the board that he wanted to burn the home but couldn’t because he has to have it checked for asbestos. He is waiting on this inspection before he can do anything. He then asked the board when they were going to clean up the property on main street by his building. Nicola explained to him that this property is not owned by the Village, and the Village has tried many times to correct this problem. They have even had an attorney involved. The Village will continue trying to find a way to get the property on main street cleaned up.

8. Jim Maryott – Siren hooked up with Sheriff’s office. There used to be a way to blow the siren at the toll house, but the toll house has closed. There are two other locations it can be blown from. They are the City Shop and the Fire hall. If the maintenance office is closed and the firemen are all out, there is no one to blow the siren for warnings. The surrounding towns in Burt county are able to have their sirens blown from the sheriff’s office in Tekamah. It was suggested to split the cost of being connected through the sheriff’s office between the Village, Rural Board, and Fire Dept.

9. Charlie Davis – Water & mud in his basement & garage due to water from Sears Center. The heavy rains are causing runoff from the parking lot. The Village is working on a berm to slow down the running water.

Chairperson of Board of Trustees
ATTEST:

Village Clerk

7)         NEW BUSINESS
1) Adele Phillips (Center for Rural Affairs) seeking letter of support on grant proposal.
Adele Phillips introduced herself and explained to the Board what she was requesting. She told them last December they submitted a pre-proposal for an ArtPlace Grant. BYWAY of ART, a project proposal submitted by the Center for Rural Affairs, and featuring the towns of Oakland, Lyons, Decatur, and Macy, has reached the finalist round for the  ArtPlace America grant supporting creative placemaking activities in urban and rural communities across the United States. They have been invited to submit a full proposal by April 17, 2014. It is estimated that there is a 1-in-15 to 1-in-10 chance of being awarded. The support that they are seeking is verbal endorsements from the mayors. Prior to April 17, an ArtPlace judge will be touring the project sites. They would like to make sure a judge meets at least one spokesperson from each town. They are taking the “small but many” strategy for local matching support. This includes cash match from community foundations, donations of materials, and in-kind match in the form of meeting spaces and workshop space …etc. Adele has been in conversation with Judy Connealy and it is felt the Sears Center would be a good site for the Decatur team that will be comprised because they display quite a bit of art. The Board had no problem with giving their verbal support.

2) Changing meeting time to 4:30 pm – Nicola stated that the office closes at 4:30 and there is a half an hour that the clerks have to wait before the meetings start. He felt it might be a good idea to have the meetings start right after closing. If this time change is approved a resolution will have to be done.  Richards made a motion to change the meeting time from 5:00 pm to 4:30 pm. Warren seconded the motion. Roll Call: Nicola-yes, Tolby-yes, Richards-yes, Warren-yes.

8)      ANNOUNCEMENTS
1) Tentative date and time for Red Barn Vet Clinic will be April 24, 2014 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Decatur Fire Hall.
2) Papio-Missouri River NRD’S Free Scrap Computer & Electronics Collection will be Tuesday April 8, 2014 at Tekamah USDA Service Center, 539 S. 13th St. Tekamah. East side of Hwy. 75 north of Cenex Station. Enter from 13th Street !
9)      APPROPRIATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS OF THE CLAIMS:

1) Claims preapproved by Bolln and Richards
2) Motion to Approve the Claims as Submitted

Warren 2nd Richards

Roll Call:  Nicola-yes, Tolby-yes, Warren-yes, Richards-yes,

Are there any questions from the audience? Alta Wolf asked what the charge for a tent at Beck Park will be. Nicola told her the fee will be $11.00 the same as it was. She also asked where Armstrong’s want a stop sign to be put. She was told the location would be 14th Street and 2nd Ave.
