The City Attorney reminded the governing body that even in an emergency situation, the Kansas Open Meetings Law is applicable.

 

Robin Ruhnke was present to ask for a street to be closed for the 7th Annual Blessing of the Bikes non-perishable food drive for Doniphan County.  Those wishing to donate food can leave it at 124 S. Liberty even if they are not participating in the bike blessing/ride.  Stan Ruhnke moved to close the Liberty street from Walnut to Chestnut from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on April 25th for blessing of bikes/food drive for Doniphan County.  Hanlan seconded the motion and it carried.

 

Jeff and Renee Clary requested that their property be excluded from the city limits due to a letter they received advising that electronic fences do not confine their dogs as mandated by City Ordinance.  The city tabled this request for further discussion.

 

At 7:15 p.m. Tim Hanlan arrived at the meeting in person.

 

Ambulance Director McKittrick asked that the ambulance service volunteers be paid if they are quarantined because of COVID-19 if exposed.
