Monday's business session will be adjourned to April 29 so that
the council may approve bills that need to be paid in the current
fiscal year. Any last amendments would be made then.
Two members of the council expect to not be in attendance next
week. Alderman Buzz Busby said that he would be making a motion that
would waive pay for the adjourned meeting. It would be worded such
that councilmen voting yes would not be paid for the additional
meeting and those voting no would be paid.

Other matters discussed on Tuesday evening:
Parking on the railroad ditch side of Campus View Drive is
creating a hazard. No parking has been proposed in the area that
begins 1,063 feet southeast of Route 10 and extends 560 feet
southeast.
Another city ordinance has been drafted that would help keep
alleys and gutters free of leaves or landscape waste and debris.
Property owners would become responsible for keeping gutters free of
debris. Violators could be fined $50 to $100.
It was raised later in the meeting that landscape waste washed by
rain can clog drains at the street level, causing streets to flood,
and that after entering storm sewers it creates clogs that lead to
sewer backups.
Due to inclement weather, the Cub Scouts' cleanup project,
ScoutSweep, was postponed last Saturday. It is reset for this coming
Saturday.
The Lincoln Community High School prom grand march downtown,
around the courthouse, is set for May 3 at 6:30 p.m.
