Notes from Tuesday’s City Council Meeting:  

• Frank Groppo gave a presentation regarding the dirt on Allen Street. He suggested that the council invest in Envirotac II, or “Rhino Snot” to deal with the problem. He estimated that it would cost the town $6,000 for 60,000 square feet of coverage.

• The council approved the hiring of Brown & Associates Certified Inspection Service, Inc. to help “alleviate any conflict of interest.”  

Brown & Associates is concerned with building safety services, civil fire codes and inspection services.  Brown & Associates will work for Tombstone for $75 per hour.  They usually charge $100 per hour.        

• The council approved the appointment of Brian Gill, Jim Lindsey, Don Taylor, Hadie Forbes, Steve Goldstein, Betty Krug and Celeste Cain to the Street Closure Volunteer Committee.

 These individuals will be responsible for researching the possible closure of Fourth and Fifth Streets.  They will appoint their own chairperson. The mayor asked that they take immediate action.

• A request for a handbill permit by the Tombstone Boarding House Bed and Breakfast Lamplight Room Restaurant owner Sylvia Prysant died after a lack of a second motion.  

This was Prysant’s second attempt to attain a handbill permit.
