(Meeting adjourned for an executive meeting)

5.      Short-term Rental Discussion approved 7 units.

6.      Public Hearing to discuss the Ordinance 23-28 to update water usage for 2024 (some secondary home owners feel that they are over charged because they only use the water for 6 months or less and some feel frustrated because they live outside of the town limits and are charged more for service. One of the solutions would be for those out of town limits would be to be annexed in to the City. This would help them as the extra $30.00 in water charges would more than pay for the City Tax. Another help would be the opportunity for those who live outside of the Town limits to vote or hold office taking the pressure off our local folks who volunteer for so much. A last problem, in order to be a fully qualified library, we need 1,500 people who live within the limits of Garden City). And lastly it would be interesting to know the cost of the blowout of the water line by the Marina which affected everyone north of the intersection.

Ordinance 23-31 adds a sprinkler system to the water ordinance;

Resolution R23-08 to Adjust the 2023-2024 Budget;

9.      Ordinance 23-32 regarding egresses and ingresses in subdivisions just had minor word changes; ordinance 23-03 considering commercial setbacks discussed. No action;
