Minutes Submitted

  The Shelbina City Council met in regular session on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at city hall.

Citizen Participation:

  Roy Lee and Eileen Dawkins addressed the council concerning the fence issue they are having with their neighbor. The issue started when Dawkins’ neighbor had the land surveyed and they had been maintaining part of the Dawkins property. Dawkins’ neighbor purchased the land that was in dispute. The Dawkins wanted to erect a fence so there was no more confusion on where the property line was. Due to some health issues the Dawkins were unable to weed eat the fence in a timely manner. They have since complied with the city nuisance ordinance and have taken care of the overgrown weeds. Roy Lee and Eileen did not obtain a building permit before the fence was erected, but there are several other citizens that would be in violation of this policy also and the city is not going to start handing out violations to everyone, so the city will not force the Dawkins to move or take down the fence. The city is just asking that the Dawkins maintain both sides of the fence. The city considers any other issues with the fence to be a civil issue between the two parties.
