3.B. Discuss policy and bylaws 
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada stated that the advisory board will oversee the funds and the City of Crete will put together the bylaws. 
Discussion was held on how the snow removal policy would be handled and the logistics and expectations. 
It was discussed that the expectation would be to have the snow removed before 8am and then again in the afternoon and not on call since it might be hard to find a contractor that is able to do that. 
Ourada stated that once the expectations are created then they can advertise for bids. Linhart asked if the advertising would be for both snow and weed removal. Ourada added that with snow removal, that is something that is predictable and could be done once a day or twice a day. With weed removal, that could be done possibly once a week or once a month. 
There were questions about the alleys also being sprayed for weeds. Ourada stated that the ordinance would have to be changed to include alleys. 
Adam Bauer asked Ourada about bids and Ourada stated that by July they would seek bids. Ourada mentioned that they would put something together and send it to the group to look at. 
Ourada stated that bills have not gone out yet.
