Crestview City: 3/18/25

Show Details

The Crestview City Council met to review financial matters, city maintenance, and administrative updates. The meeting began with the approval of minutes from the February 4, 2025, meeting and a review of the treasurer’s report, including updates on credit card management and bank account access changes. The council also discussed putting the Alta Fiber bill on autopay to avoid recurring late fees. A significant topic was the first reading of an ordinance to combine the city clerk and treasurer positions, streamlining operations by merging the two roles into one. The ordinance will undergo a second reading in April before final approval. The council addressed code enforcement and public safety issues, including: Issuing stop-work orders for unauthorized construction on private properties. Parking violations, including expired-tag vehicles and illegally parked cars on Circle Drive and Dorothy Lane. Complaints about garbage cans left on curbs for extended periods on multiple streets. Infrastructure discussions focused on road maintenance, particularly Pine Hill and Dorothy Lane, where council members debated the best approach for repairs, sealing, and resurfacing. The council agreed to solicit bids for road work, with a decision expected in early May. The council also discussed grass-cutting services, with concerns over the current contractor's subcontracting practices. The decision was made to continue using the current contractor for the 2025 season while exploring options for an in-house maintenance position in the future. Bids for a part-time maintenance worker will be reviewed at the April 2 meeting. Other topics included: Planning the city’s Easter Egg Hunt on March 19 and Memorial Day parade preparations. IT system upgrades, including migrating the city’s domain to Crestview.gov and implementing Microsoft Office 365 for official emails. Scheduling the annual city clean-up for May 2–4, 2025. The meeting concluded with the first reading of Ordinance 2025-01, which officially establishes the combined city clerk-treasurer position. The council then adjourned.
