The Mayor then opened the floor for comments on any topic.

News-Tribune reporter, Tom Collins asked what the City’s pro-rated share amount was regarding the shared policing ordinance. Chief Knoblauch stated it is roughly 16%.

Oglesby resident Vern Siemers stated that there was a utility pole near his property that needs to be inspected. Commissioner Argubright stated he would have someone in the Electric Department check it out.

Oglesby resident Sarah Cudlip questioned how many poles will have small cell wireless facilities attached. Attorney Andreoni stated there isn’t a definite number but according to state statute, each pole attachment would cost the wireless facility $200 annually. Greg Stein, Oglesby resident stated that he heard the 5G wireless pole attachments had to be 1 ½ miles apart to work properly.

Greg Stein asked the council if they had investigated the book company to see if they were a reputable company before the city denied their application to solicit. Greg voiced his concern about the city being sued. Attorney Andreoni stated that the city has a policy in affect and the council followed the guidelines.

Also, Greg Stein presented a pair of old tennis shoes that he wore at the canoe landing and in the Vermillion River. He stated that he got stuck in the mud. He states that the cause of this issue is that the city is pushing the mud/silt back into the river from the canoe landing with the hope that the river’s current will take care of the problem.
