7. Report from Mary Risley,
Main Street Director Collinsville Downtown, Inc. --
Mary reported on thefollowing topics:
* "Best Taste of Collinsville ever" ...make ~$2K on stars
* Planning now for "Just Treats"
* Attended statewide preservation conference
* Studying accountability standards
* Commissioner Porter requested report on 2011 Hogs N Hot Rods
8. Discussion and possible
action regarding request from Ed and Billie Lincoln to plant a tree on their
cemetery lots in Ridgelawn Cemetery. -- Tabled, pending
a more comprehensive plan for cemetery landscaping as trees and certainshrubs
near gravesites can present maintenance issues and difficulties digging new
graves. The commissioners did request that this family be consulted with (by
city staff) to determine if some interiumsolution could be agreed upon. Public
Works irector Phil Stowell had suggested a site on the perimeter of the cemetery
be designated for memorial trees. Several commissioners commented that the
cemetery "looked bare" compared to pre-2007 ice storm views.
9. Discussion and possible action to remove building at 215 S. 11th Street.
-- Approved, removal of the old unmaintained (city-owned)
building just south of the police station. The building had formerly been
a doctors office.
10. Discussion and possible
action on Senior Citizen’s Building located at 910 W. Center --
Tabled after discussion. The building on the south portion of the fair grounds
was damaged by an August
2011 attic fire. Appears the commission would rather tear down the damaged
structure rather than try to repair. Potential ownership issues between the
city and the Collinsville Tri-County Fair Board need to be worked out before
a final decision can be made. Appears the structure was deeded to the city
with a stipulation that it revert back to the fairboard if not continued to
be used for public benefit. (more of discussion at 10/13/2011
work session).
11. City Manager’s
Report -- Pam Polk reported on these topics:
* Pink Out Night Thursday at CHS Football game
* A FEMA Hazard Mitigation grant that has been in the works for 3 years has
once again been redone and resubmitted
* The "Safe Routes To Schools" grant application is due this Friday

none
