Councilor Shafer moved, seconded by Councilor Lee, approval of the consent agenda. Council approved the motion; roll call vote, unanimous. Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Gooch, approval of City Initiated Annexation: Lots 1-3 Adkins Valley (Second Reading). Mayor Heath invited property owner Randy Reed to address council. Randy Reed stated that he understands the process of the annexation according to the pre annexation he signed, however, he was concerned about projects on these properties in which he has procured and paid for building permits through the county and how he would proceed if the annexation is approved by council. Planning & Economic Development Director Briggs advised council that he would follow up with the County building department and advise Mr. Reed what the process would be through the completion of the current projects with the permits he now has; however, once annexed, any future projects would be permitted through the City building department. Council approved the motion; roll call vote, unanimous. Item added to the agenda was a staff update provided by Public Works Director Nic Bateson who addressed an article in the Sheridan Press regarding an upgraded rating status by the Insurance Services Office. Public Works Director Bateson presented an overview of the purpose of ISO, how communities are evaluated for the insurance ratings, and the steps that have been taken to improve the insurance rating in Sheridan which is a very long and difficult process. PW Director Bateson provided a history of the outstanding efforts by city staff and the achievements that were made from 1998 in which the community classification rating was a 5 to the present rating reported to be a 3. PW Director Bateson concluded that even though they would like to see more improvements, it is very important to recognize the hard work, commitment and dedication of all of the staff involved to get to this much improved community rating class. Mayor and Council requested comment from Fire and Emergency Services Director Lenhart regarding the consideration of a fire district and the effect this might have on a better rating. FESD Lenhart reviewed the fire department criteria and credits and advised that there are many factors that affect the rating. Credits would be improved with addition of staff and status whether it be in the current fire station or if considering a district. At the conclusion of the presentation Councilor Lee ask Mayor Heath if it was be possible to invite all the staff involved in this process to be present at a future council meeting in order to recognize them in person for their outstanding efforts in achieving this new classification and for their continued effort in seeing that the city infrastructure is always well maintained. Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Gooch, approval of Ordinance 2162 City Initiated Annexation: 3470 Big Horn Loop on second reading. Deputy City Clerk Williams read Ordinance by title. Mayor Heath advised council that the property owner was unable to attend the meeting due to the meeting time, that she had written a letter regarding her concerns about the annexation, a copy which was provided to Council and called for any discussion. Council reviewed the letter and noted that it appeared the concerns were the same as stated by the property owner at council meeting on February 1, 2016. Council approved the motion; roll call vote, unanimous. Closing comments were received from Councilor Shafer who felt it was important to note that the fire department employees are not the only staff that are required to be on call and respond to an emergency, water/sewer/utilities department employees are always on call for the City of Sheridan in cases of broken water and sewer lines. They are called out in the middle of the night, in freezing temperatures, digging and standing in water and they are well aware that this is part of being employed with the city. It is because of this hard working dedication that the citizens enjoy a well structured and maintained water and sewer system. There being no further business or comment, Council adjourned at 12:39 PM.
