(By DEB PATTERSON Staff Writer Approval of a one-foot alley vacation and establishing policies on several matters within the police department were some of the topics of business at the North Webster Town Board meeting last Wednesday evening. Steve Snyder, Syracuse attorney, was present to represent Luther Allen’s request for vacation of one foot of the alley adjacent to his property in El-Ray Park Addition. The alley serves no purpose other than a drive way to Allen’s property and the adjacent property owner, Ruby Badskey, did not object. Allen was present at the April r town board meeting seeking the\ board’s approval for the vacation) so that a carport could be coostructed to the home. The board members stated they-Wottra approve the vacation, if he went through the proper channels in requesting it. Snyder stated Wednesday evening the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals has granted a variance for the construction up to the lot line, pending the town board’s decision. The town board unanimously adopted ordinance 87-4 on the vacation. Policies were established by the board on payment of former town police officers required to testify in court, use of vehicles to attend police academy and how far the police department can go with peddler’s not having a license. The policy concerning court pay, was discussed after former Town Marshal Matt Wagoner was recently called to testify in court on a case that took place prior to his resignation from the force. The board voted that police officers required to testify in court after leaving the employ-

ment of the town will be paid for their court time at the established rate of pay at the time their employment was ended. Board members stated the testimonies of these police officers on a case is essential. A question was raised concerning whether if an officer should use his own vehicle or a town vehicle to attend academy training, and if his own vehicle was used, what reimbursement for mileage would be granted, Robert James, board member, suggested the town pay the officers mileage and let them get there thW best way they can. Sid Markley, board member, questioned if the officers should be paid for every trip down and back. It was noted some of the offers returned on week ends the academy to work for the department. Prior to making the motion to the policy, Markley stated the town is paying the officers full salary while attending the academy, in addition to their way down and back. “You look back at the record at how many we send to school and use it as a stepping stone, there’s only one who has stayed.” Jcr.es stated the police cars need to be kept “here where they belong. ’ ’ The board agreed to pay an officer’s mileage to school and back, one time only in their personal cars and if they desire to come home in between it’s up to them on the expense. This policy will be effective for the next officer going to the academy. Police officers were given the approval to close down any peddler who does not have a license from the town. It was agreed the ice cream truck should aiso have the license as well as the man who had the tent next to the old Penguin Point building. Liens Filed Eve Payne, clerk-treasurer, announced liens against properties for delinquent sewage bills would be filed on July 9 for all

those three months or more behind. Some discussion was held why these people were not taken to small claims court instead. Mrs. Payne stated the filing of liens against the property as a sure fire, no cost way of getting the money, because if the delinquent bill was not paid within two years, the property goes up for delinquent sewage lien sale. Also the property cannot be sold while the lien is attached. The board members plan to look into court costs and what they can do later to make the fines higher. In other matters, the ordinance on the loading zone in front of Sue’s Creation was tabled as the ordinance prepared by the town’s attorney was not satisfactory to the board. Estimated costs were received rfrom Phil Holliday, president of 'the Tippecanoe Township/North Webster Public Library, on the remodeling of the new library location. The estimated costs are $12,710. It was suggested during the meeting the donations be channeled through the Friends of the Library. Howard Ziegler, park board member, reported bumper guards, and picnic tables nave been installed at the park, prices on removing three more trees are being sought and people have begun using the park. It was noted Chuck Lawrence will be having signs made of the rules and regulations for the park as well as for the public piers. George Miller was appointed to replace Markley on the Area Plan Commission, following Markley’s resignation. Miller is a resident of Willis Park and will be representing North Webster, Sidney and Pierceton on that board. Other Business A letter of congratulations and best wishes will be sent to Emily Bell Thomas, North Webster, whose composition is one of the finalists to be adopted as the song for Celebration 88. The town will sign a contract ’ with the Kosciusko County Clerk to conduct the town election in 1988. Ollie Hardin was hired on a temporary basis for the summer at a rate of $4.75. Hardin will be employed by the street and sewer departments. Mrs. Payne will be attending the clerk-treasurer’s school June 17-18 in Indianapolis and will be allowed her expenses. Approval was given for the police department to purchase a lemonade stand with funds received through donations. The stand will replace the dunk tank used to raise funds. Some discussion was conducted on seals for the police car. The board voted to go with what it had previously approved. An ordinance concerning fines for dogs running loose will be looked into as the police department is finding the same dogs are being picked up and retrieved by the owners before they can be taken to the county humane shelter. The town board and members of the Tippecanoe Township Advisory Board and Trustee will be meeting Tuesday evening, June 16, at 7 p.m., to discuss preliminary budgets for the fire department, emergency medical service and dispatching.
