The Guthrie Center City Council met Monday night.

They met with Sheriff Marty Arganbright and a dozen residents from the 4th Street and South 12th Street neighborhoods who have had disagreements in regards to street parking. The Council took no action Monday but told the neighbors to try and use common sense in figuring out the parking issues on their own as good neighbors, or the city may have to become more vigilant in writing parking tickets.

The Council met with local businessman Dean Wetzel, who recently received a nuisance notice for vehicle scrap and tires being visible at his automotive repair lot. The Council is giving Wetzel 30 days to come up with a plan to clean up portions of his lot that are within view of the public.

Additionally, the Council voted to give themselves and the Mayor a 50% raise, effective when the next term starts in January. Councilors will now receive $1,000/year with quarterly payments and the Mayor will receive $2,400/year with payments made biweekly.
