These are the March 27, 2019 Queenstown Commissioners meeting minutes. Staff reported multiple public-works updates: Tidewater will rotate operators every four months, a VFD is on order, the WWTP drum screen was repaired, ditches are being cleaned, Lane Cole will inventory streets/ditches and estimate costs, and a DNR meeting on April 3 was scheduled about dredging boat slips after the town received a $50,000 grant; mosquito control application is due April 30 at a cost of $2,325. The Planning Commission asked the commissioners to support developing a one-year master trails plan to extend the county trail to Queenstown and later to adopt and use the plan with developers. The Finance Committee reported meetings with county tax staff, a written request was submitted asking the county to fund fireworks, and the clerk began work on insurance renewal and the budget; Treasurer balances were provided for General ($196,138.89), Water/Sewer ($108,340.76) and WWTP project ($9,259.96). Commissioners unanimously approved prior meeting minutes, lifted parking restrictions on Maryland Ave between Steamboat Ave and Old Wharf Lane, agreed to review an IT services proposal later, noted a quoted $8,500 cost for a new dump truck body and a need to get electric-service pricing from R & D Electric for park events, and appointed Lyndsey Ryan and the firm Booth, Cropper & Marriner as town attorney after attorney Brynja Booth’s last meeting; a property-maintenance violation was fined with an abatement deadline of April 8, 2019. The meeting adjourned at 7:48 p.m., and public commenters asked about how fines are paid (to the town) and suggested publicizing enforcement and planning park improvements before installing electricity.
