In Butler City Council news, the Planning Commission gave the ok to rezoning the American Legion building from R-r to C-2, and it now goes to a public meeting October 15th before the City Council acts on it. Connie White, who has used it for years as her dance studio, plans to purchase the building from the American Legion, provided the rezoning passes. That meeting will be Tuesday, October 15th, at the City Council meeting.The Council decided to reduce the tax lien on a property Mary Welston bought as delinquent property. The Tax lien had been over six thousand dollars, with almost five hundred dollars more as interest charges. The Council reduced the amount to two thousand dollars.
The Park and Recreation Commission met recently but didn’t have a quorum, so no action could be taken, but they agreed with Colin Lanyon, who had noted that repair of the Skate Board Park with cold mix asphalt actually made the problem worse. The Council agreed that the job needs to be cemented, but the money is not in the current budget. They’ll be checking for when money would be available for that job.
The Airport need for runway cross-drains and a seal coat is on hold because the bid from Vance Brothers was about twice the estimated cost by Burns and McDonnell engineers. Another bid will be allowed in January.
Mayor Don Malan has sent a letter of thanks to the Scoular Company in Adrian for its donation of a “Grain Wall” to the Butler Fire Department. The wall is designed to be used in rescue situations in grain
facilities. Persons have been known to sing into the grain when working inside a storage, and this donation is much appreciated.
And you’re invited to a retirement reception for Sharon Jones at City Hall on Friday,September 27th from one until three p.m. Sharon is retiring after thirty years of service for the City as a Utility Clerk
at City Hall. That’s from one until three, Friday, the 27th. Drop in anytime between one and three.
Butler has received 13-thousand and some dollars back from the State as its share of sales taxes as of August 21st.
And a reminder that Butler’s Fall Citywide Cleanup is set for the week of October 7thnorth of Fort Scott Street, and the following week for the South side of Butler.
