(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council has approved on final reading an ordinance that would allow pet grooming and pet training as permitted uses in an area zoned Light Industrial.
The action, taken at this week's meeting, is expected to clear the way for construction of a new building for Kylie Vollan to expand her pet grooming business to include pet training and doggy daycare at the corner of 7th and Morton Streets.
The council also approved contracting with Staffing Services to hire two temporary workers to help clean out the old water treatment building on south Crook Street. Mayor Jerry Oliver said most of the items are junk. The plan is to hire two people to work 40 – 60 hours each on the cleanup project.
Oliver said City Crews are very busy and this would be a cheaper option than having City workers do the cleanup.
Action on a request from Jeremy Richey to have the lien on his house at 2206 Harlan Street released was tabled. Richey received a Community Development Block Grant to make improvements to the home in 2014. He accepted a job in Lincoln in February of this year.
Richey is unable to sell the house with the block grant lien against it. He is asking to be allowed to pay back what is owed over 5 –1 0 years, or for the City to forgive the remainder of the amount he owes.
Mayor Jerry Oliver said the City would work with Richey to solve the issue, but need to make sure it is done correctly.
