Quick Town Council Meeting for November

At the November Town Council Meeting, held Monday, November 20th at the Whitehall Town Hall, the holidays were pending, NFL football was pressing, and the Town Council plowed through their agenda in less than an hour.

Mayor Mary Janacaro-Hensleigh updated the Council on the Legion Avenue playground, noting that the Town is awaiting mulch before it can be opened. The Mayor also warned anyone with “nefarious” intentions of defacing the property that she has no problem closing the playground down and giving it to another town if the property can’t be respected.

Public Works Director Kory Klapan stated that employees were working to install a new water main to the new in-construction Ridgeline Sports location and Stageline Pizza on Legion Avenue.

The Council voted to terminate all negotiations with the Whitehall Saddle Club in regard to the Whitehall Rodeo Grounds, adding that any abandoned items will become town property.

• APPROVED BUSINESS LICENSES: Country Cabin Floors and Boutique, Ranching Tradition Fiber, and QRS Signs.

• TIFF APPROVALS: $1975 for Barrick Learning Center electrical hookups, $6500 for extension of water lines off First Street for hookups located on Legion Avenue.

• PLANNING BOARD APPROVAL: sign for Two Bit Saloon & Grille

• POOL BOARD appointed member Lacy Rogers

The next Whitehall Town Council meeting will be held Monday, December 18 at 7 PM in the Town Hall Chambers.
