Council adopts emergency cleanup ordinance and authorizes changes at dump ground

On May 8 the Culbertson Town Council adopted Ordinance 108, an emergency ordinance regarding the cleaning of lots and alleys and the disposal of refuse. The motion to adopt was moved by Larsen and seconded by Iverson; the council ordered that copies of the ordinance be posted at Halls Retail, the Town Hall and the Culbertson State Bank and that the text be published in the local newspaper.

The council also granted permission for the town to build a new road to the dump ground and directed that the area be fenced as the council saw fit. The clerk was instructed to place a public notice regarding poisoning at the dump ground alongside publication of the ordinance. The minutes record these steps as carried motions; no roll-call vote tallies or oppositions are recorded in the available minutes.

The emergency designation indicates the council sought immediate compliance and public notice; the minutes do not include the full ordinance text or enforcement provisions beyond the posting and advertising instructions.
