Mosquito Festival Update Tina Aguilar reported to Council that she had
finally received a quote from Benders for the shirts and hats. She’s been
asking for pricing since she started working with him in early June. He
told her that the cost would be just over $2600. Tina was very surprised as
she had given him a copy of the invoice from the year before and told him
she needed to be within that price range ($1700), unfortunately it’s too late
to order shirts elsewhere and get them in time. Tina states to Council that
in selling the shirts at $15 and $13 and the hats at $20 she feels the money
will be recouped. Tina recommended that the City consider a PayPal
account. She states the account is hooked directly into a bank account and
all monies are deposited that way. She’s selling what she can of the older
shirts from storage. Yesterday she netted $68. Plans to have them, along
with the new ones, at the information booth during Mosquito Festival.
During the original planning she had set a $300 budget for advertising.
She’s at $232 currently. Tina talked previously of buying and selling
bracelets. Sell them for $5 which would include discounts on certain
Festival events (bbque, shirts, raffle tickets). Tina would also like to sell
Frisbees with an “I Love Paisley” and a mosquito on them. Still working
on finding pigs for the greased pig contest. The food for the bbque, the
bracelets, Frisbees and pigs should be only expenses left. All expenses

remaining will be ran through Council via email. Ralph Paull moved,
Robert Davis 2nd to approve the purchase of bracelets and Frisbees,
not to exceed the cost of $450. MCU. Tina also reported Ed Agrisea
raised an additional $125 for the basketball courts. Also Tina wanted to
report to Council that a donor from previous years is a little upset, feeling
underappreciated and that the City expects them to donate without any
recognition. Tina wants to add the names of donors to the Frisbees as the
shirts are done. Suggests next year maybe selling legal fireworks for a
fundraiser. Mayor Blair stated it would need to go through insurance for
approval first and foremost. Tina is willing to do more research and will
bring it up at a later meeting.

Arsenic Plant Melissa reported to Council that the last three tests, done
all at once from three different points, came in under the limit. Council
hopes we are on the right track.
5.3
Zoning Ordinance Amendment, Adopting TSP Mayor Blair stated to
Council that during the meeting on June 22, it was explained to him that
with the Transportation System Plan (TSP) the City is given better access
to fixing or installing streets, sidewalks, also enables Council to change
zoning, etc. Overall makes improvements easier and more attainable.
Ralph Paull moved, Dick Mecham 2nd to Adopt the TSP and Amend
Zoning Ordinance #134. MCU.
New Business
6.1
John Steffes, Pioneer Saloon, Variance John Steffes presented to
Council a plan to extend the front patio at the Saloon and add tables and
seating out there. The back outside portion of the Bar is closed at the
moment. His plan is to extend 4 feet past the existing porch and then
adding large logs at perimeter to mark edges. John states he’s spoken to
Kent with OLCC and believes if Council approves the change then he will
be able to serve alcohol within that perimeter. John believes that
monitoring the front in conjunction with the saloon will be easier than
monitoring the back area where personnel don’t have a line of sight. He
worries that this may push the tail end of cars and trucks within the street
but isn’t positive as the street isn’t marked. He would also like to build a
4x8 reader board, movable, to place within the triangle created by the
streets and Highway 31. The sign would be short so as not to impede the
sign for the Cemetery and the stop sign. He has spoken to Lori Lorenz,
whom owns the Paisley Perk and she is agreeable to placing the sign in the
area. Also John would like to set up a beer garden for Mosquito Festival.
He has a popular local band set to play, Rico Nova. Their stage would be
the back of a flatbed truck. They will play two sets, probably 6 pm-7 pm
to include kids and then 10 pm-11 pm. The ZX is willing to bring hay
bales in to “block off” the beer garden. He’s spoken to Chris Miller
2|Page
concerning the property to the south side of the bar. Mr. Miller is
considering letting him put the beer garden over onto the property but is
going to speak to the Fire Marshal first.
Council expressed concerns of impeding traffic once patio is pushed
outward. John asked if it would be alright to make it to where there was
no parking available in the front area. Also stating the patio would not be
covered, may consider adding some umbrellas. Council also
recommended discussing the Mosquito Festival plans with the neighbors
so there were no surprises. Their other concern was smoking. John is
willing to designate a smoking area. Council stipulates to John that he get
approval from the State Fire Marshal and get road coordinates from the
County Road Department. Robert Davis moved, Dick Mecham 2nd to
approve the Beer Garden for Mosquito Festival pending approval
from the State Fire Marshal and OLCC, approving the reader board
being placed across from the Pioneer near the stop sign and
approving the extension of the patio and parking lot as long as it does
not encroach into the street. MCU.
6.2
Pierre Hoppe, Lake County Cemetery Pierre Hoppe and John Griffin
presented to Council the idea of drilling a well to use for irrigation at the
Cemetery above Paisley. They are contracted with the City on water. But
the current situation doesn’t afford them the pressure needed to properly
irrigate the 3.69 acres. They would like to drill a well and install a water
system. The Cemetery sits on City property. The Cemetery Board would
like to drill a well, paying the cost. In the past when this was done within
other districts the well was turned over to the City. Paisley would lose the
proceeds from the water contract if they drilled a well and set up a
sprinkler system but dependent on water rights, the City may be able to
still charge for use. The Cemetery Board feels that if they are to proceed
with the drilling of the well it needs to happen within the next few years
while the funds are available. Robert Davis moved, Ralph Paull 2nd to
approve the drilling as long as it doesn’t interfere with City water or
the aquafer. MCU.
