Mayor Hostetler gave an update about ongoing activities:

Regarding the new parking ordinance, we sent out ten letters to violators. Nine of the ten cleaned up their situation. The last one had problems with the letter addressing the violation and in fact the lady is selling her motorhome so I gave her a two week extension. Also, regarding the parking ordinance, in the process of enforcing it, myself and several residents found some confusing and conflicting information so I’m working up a draft to make changes, maybe as early as the August meeting. I would ask Council members to read it critically and send me anything you find.

Meeting with Sergeant Deleon today and we will be changing our Deputy probably in August. Also, the Deputies are more active and aggressive enforcing traffic violations now.

I bought six leash law signs for Eric from the BPOA to put on the trails where I’ve been told a lot of violations occur.
