The below are the unofficial minutes of the meeting:
In Petitions, Memorials, Calls to Public Patty Horton representing Hoisington Main Street Inc. addressed the Council concerning the July 5, 2014 street dance and activities for the kids.  She was requesting $500 of the Transient Guest Tax monies for advertisement and would be applying for a CMB License for the event, also. The dance would be held on Main Street between First and Second Streets. The proper permits would be obtained from KDOT to close from 2:00pm to 2:00 am July 5th & 6th that area of Main Street due to it be state highway. After further discussion on blocking off Main Street and traffic flow, it was decided to have a special meeting on Monday, June 16, 2014 to review these requests, if a quorum of the council could be obtained to have the meeting.
Brian Beaver, a citizen of Hoisington, requested a public apology or resignation of Donovan and Farmer. Mr. Donovan made implications in the Great Bend Post that if we approved chickens we would also have goats and pigs and everything else, and Mrs. Farmer also made that implication at the last council meeting. They came to Council to ask permission and felt like they were not treated as upstanding citizens.  He felt their comments were degrading and inappropriate as government officials.
Dean Andereck presented a utility marker post that has been laying in the street by Center St. and 9th Street. He stated it laid there for 30 days and felt an employee should have picked it up. The post was painted white and orange and used to recognize buried cable.
