Pursuant to due call and proper notice, a meeting of the City of Wolverton Council was held on June 10, 2019 in Council Chambers in the City of Wolverton, MN.

Absent: None
Also Present: Sandy Maesse
Sandy inquired about the $25 fee she pays on her bare lot. Since it is considered to be in the flood zone is, she still required to pay the fee since she cannot ever develop that land. Discussion was had. Since the flood determination area is not finalized, we cannot say for sure if her lot is unbuildable or not. Does the county or watershed have any rules that would overrule any decision we made. Geoff is going to follow-up with Breanna Koval from Wilkin County.
