​City of Colfax – Regular Council Meeting 8/15/2022
The regular August Meeting of the Colfax City Council was called to order by Mayor Olson at 7:10pm. Present were Mayor Jeff Olson, Council Members, Jesse Moch, Shaun Jacobson and Kyle Krump, and Justin Reiland. Audience members in attendance were Susan Bowman, Bonnie Gylland, Vance Gylland Inis Frankl, Lyle Boehm, and Josh Boehm.
Jeff recognized the audience. Lyle & Josh Boehm inquired about discussions held at the last meeting about abandoning Broadway in the Wold development. Olson brought forth information he received from the engineer, recommending that Broadway not be abandoned to ensure a proper right-of-way for any future utility needs. As for water hookup, Olson will discuss with SEWU if they are able to temporarily hook up the house currently in the development until the city is able to complete the new water loop.
Suzan Bowman inquired about an update regarding issues she brought forth to the council in June. Olson hasn’t been able to move forward on the items due to time constraints. Communication needs to be made with the residents to enforce the city ordinances pertaining to week maintenance and trash disposal. Olson will contact Amy regarding contact with these residents and moving forward with formally contacting them. The empty lots in Colfax Meadows 3rd Addition should also be maintained. Skoog informed the council that any costs associated with the maintenance of property not properly maintained can be charged back on yearly taxes. This paperwork is completed late September, early October.
