I. OPEN FORUM
A. Beth Holte—Home Maintenance Ordinance
Resident Beth Holte of 7141 Prairie View Dr., her realtor, and neighbor Mike
Gust of 7280 Prairie View Dr. stated the appearance of the two properties
adjoining Holte's house are preventing her from selling her home. Tyra-Lukens
asked for status. Neal said staff is working with both property owners but the
conditions of the homes must meet the threshold outlined in the ordinance. Tyra-
Lukens asked Neal to personally respond to the homeowner and Neal agreed. The
City will contact Holte with an update and she can report to the neighborhood on
this ongoing problem. Holte invited Council to visit her home.

Mallo requested action on the flag policy, including notifying newspapers of the
