WILSON — Updates on city board of health cases involving vehicles on properties in violation of city ordinances dominated Monday’s remote meeting of the Wilson City Council.

The council granted Scott Lutz of 3006 Ave. F an extension until June 8 to get the vehicles on that property in compliance. Lutz presented a plan that calls for two Pontiac Grand Prix cars to be tagged and insured and the removal of a Dodge Ram pickup Pontiac Trans Am.

“He has a solid plan that’s going to get this issue resolved,” said Joshua Tipton, Wilson Police chief and chairman of the board of health.

In other business:

• The council granted a six-month extension to council member David Criswell to clean up the metal at the Old Mill property he owns at 718- 720 26th St. Criswell abstained from voting.

Criswell said he has had difficulty finding dumpsters but two are on the way.

“We’ll keep at it,” he said. “Some things are beyond my control.”

Jerry Florian, another property owner who has been loading metal into dumpsters on his property and also on Criswell’s lots, said trying to get a dumpster delivered during the COVID-19 restrictions is almost impossible.

Criswell will provide monthly updates to verify progress is being made on the clean up.

• The council granted Florian an extension of 30 days to finish cleaning up his property at 809-815 24th St.

• The council granted Sherry Cunningham a 30-day extension to get the vehicles removed from her property at 415-417 28th St.

“We’re trying to work with people,” Mayor Mike Peschka said.

• The council gave Florian until the end of the business day on June 1 to remove the trailer from his property at 717 28th St.

• Council members agreed to give property owners at 308 26th St. and 408 24th St. 30-day notices to clean up the properties.

• Wilson will crack seal one-third of the city streets this year and follow a planned schedule for the work, the council decided. Chip seal was delayed until 2021. The crack seal is estimated to cost $17,000, which will save the city money. City clerk Susan Kriley has been working on a special streets reserve fund in which the savings could be placed for future use.

• Council members approved two measures related to the painting of the city water tower, which was approved at the last meeting for $82,170. The first measure is sanitation of the interior of the tower at a cost of $1,865. The second is a biannual tower inspection for $1,140.

• Council member Darcy Hubka-Vopat said the Twin Lakes League has canceled the baseball season. She sought guidance from the council on several things, including canceling the local season completely, doing practice only or looking at additional activities. She also said the city needs a backup plan in case it can’t do swimming lessons this summer.

Theresa Staudinger, city attorney, said from what she is seeing statewide, she was doubtful swimming lessons would take place.

Peschka said as long as Vopat plans activities that meet healthrelated guidelines that are required for sports, he thought the council would be supportive.

• After a 10-minute executive session to discuss non-elected personnel [applicants for the public compliance officer job] the council approved setting up an interview committee of Peschka, Criswell and council member Ryan Stoppel to proceed with interviewing the three candidates who applied.

• No action was taken after a fiveminute executive session to discuss non-elected personnel [judiciary nominations].

The next meeting of the Wilson City Council will be Monday, June 1, at city hall.
