Next to the boxes, will be a sign that will have information about how to get help if you, or a loved one, are addicted to opioids. The boxes will be at no cost to the Town. After much discussion, Council President Michael Johnson asked Antoinette if the Wolcott Clinic would be willing to put up one of the Naloxone boxes on the outside of their building. Antoinette said she would talk to her supervisor to see if that can be done. Council Member Darwin Miller announced that if anyone is needing Community Service hours, that they can help repaint the fire hydrants in town.

If anyone has a complaint about tall grass, they are to come into the Town Hall and fill out a complaint form. Moving on, Council Member Darwin Miller announced that he looked into how to fix the gas station curb. Darwin said that he contacted the state and got written permission to perform work on the curb. Darwin then said that he went out and got two estimates to fix the curb. Town and Country gave a total estimate of $7,900 for the whole job. Cowboy Excavating gave a total estimate of $6,587.50 for the whole job. Town Attorney Jacob Ahler asked if the curb was on state property or town property. Council Vice President Cameron Emond and Council Member Darwin Miller told Jacob that it is on town property. Water/Street Superintendent Robert Thomas stated that the curb is in the town easement, and that the town is not responsible for fixing anything within the easement. Town Attorney Jacob Ahler expressed concern over the fact that the curb may be owned by the gas station. If the curb is owned by the gas station, it can not be fixed with town funds. Council Vice President Cameron Emond pulled up the White County GIS and showed Jacob the gas station property lines. Jacob said that according to the picture that Cameron showed him, it looks as if the curb is outside of the gas station?s property line. Council Member Jerry Lietz explained that he is hesitant to make a motion to fix the curb until the Town knows for sure who?s property the curb is on. Darwin told the Council that he knows that the curb has caused a lot of problems for people who have trailers. Fire Chief Kenneth Burns asked where the money would come from to fix the curb. Darwin replied to Kenneth by saying that the money would come from a grant. Council Vice President Cameron Emond made a motion to accept Cowboy?s bid to fix the curb. Council Member Rex Pearson second the motion. Motion carried 3-1, Jerry opposed. Robert Hutter, owner of ARP Rentals, presented the Council with an expensive water bill.

Council Member Darwin Miller second the motion. Motion carried 4-0. George Blissett announced that the Liquor Store used to also be a gas station. George said that the Mainstreet committee would like to sit down with the Council and talk about what all will be going on with the old Liquor Store building, in order to keep them in the loop. Council Member Darwin Miller asked what he should do with the contents if he were to clean out a ditch that has cardboard and Styrofoam. Water Superintendent Robert Thomas told Darwin to take it to the Recycling trailer, if there is a place for it. Daryl Orns asked why the remote meters take a little bit to notify the Town of a leak. Utility Clerk Breanna Wood explained that she checks the leak list on her computer every morning and alerts people right away if they have got a leak. Larry Klink expressed that he was not pleased that the April 2021 minutes, mentioned that there was an illegal meeting. Town Attorney Jacob Ahler explained that the meeting was illegal under the Indiana Open Door Law. Since Darwin openly admitted to the gathering, it had to be put in the minutes. Council Member Darwin Miller asked if it is illegal for three or more Council Members to clean a street together. Jacob replied to Darwin by saying that it is legal to do community service together, but it is illegal to get in a private setting to talk about Town business. George Blissett expressed concern that there is no open spot for anyone to come to the meeting and speak unannounced. Town Attorney Jacob Ahler explained that the end of the meetings are always open for residents to come speak, if they are not on the agenda.
