Residents raise dumpster ordinance concern and ask about parcel numbers during public forum

During the meeting's public forum, resident Jeremy Eckes of 119 Eastern Ave told the council he believed "the dumpster that was placed on Eastern Ave by the four-plex, is against the City Ordinance." Council member Karen Schlueter asked staff to research the claim and, if warranted, to send a letter to the property owner ordering the dumpster removed or relocated.

Later in the public forum, Angela Fritz asked whether the county had a timeline to assign parcel numbers for newly platted housing lots. The City Clerk said the city will contact Shelby County to request assignment of parcel numbers and report back.

Both items were raised during public comment and did not result in immediate council action beyond directing staff to follow up.
