There are currently five books in the series with the sixth book, “Silverbelly”, due

out in January 2020. Dahl-strom says, “I wrote these stories about Wilder for kids who grew up in the outdoors and for kids who long for the outdoors…working, fish-ing, hunting, farms, ranches, mountains and prairies, I think all kids want to do these things and go to these places”.

Dahlstrom’s second book in the series, “The Green Colt”, has received the Wrangler Award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City for Outstand-ing Juvenile Book. The book also won the Will Rogers Medallion Awards Honoring Excellence in Western Media and a Spur Finalist from the Western Writers of America. Book Two, “Texas Grit”, won the Will Rogers Award in 2015.

Librarian Peggy Ashley told

the Dispatch the Wilder Good books are popular with teach-ers in Post Elementary. “We always look forward to a visit from Nathan and we are for-tunate to have all the series at the library. Nathan will be at the library to talk about Wild-er and his adventures. Guests will have the opportunity to visit with him and ask ques-tions about his books and will be able to purchase his books.”

S. J. Dahlstrom lives and writes in West Texas with his wife and children. He has nu-merous magazine credits for his writing and photography. A fifth-generation Texan, S.J. has spent his life bounc-ing around the outdoors from New Mexico and Texas, north to Colorado and Montana, and east to Michigan and New York. He is interested in all things outdoors and creative.

After the council members approved the consent agenda that included minutes from the May meeting and May invoices.

The council members dis-cussed the approval of an or-dinance amending Chapter 4 adding Article 4.11 entitled “Mobile Food Service Ven-dors” establishing a permit-ting and inspection process for all mobile food service vendors providing food service to the public within the city limits.

Attorney Wade presented the council with a draft of the ordinance which is designed to establish regulations govern-ing food trucks and intended to promote the health, safety and welfare of the public and property rights of owners of land containing a food truck or located next to a food truck.

The draft provides defini-tions including: commissary location, food, food service es-tablishment, health inspector, mobile, mobile food vendor and mobile food unit or truck.

The ordinance will require a permit issued by the City of Post and must comply with the requirements the city sets forth to operate a mobile food truck.

Councilmember’s discussed an application fee. The draft outline states a $200 ap-plication fee due each year. Councilwoman Anita Morris opposed the fee amount, stat-

ing that during the celebra-tion at the park on July 4th several families prepared and sold food to the public and would not be able to afford the fee. Morris also mentioned the food vendors at Old Mill Trade Days and how the ordi-nance might impact them. It was noted that food vendors at OMTD must have a health permit and health inspections are conducted periodically.

Questions regarding how the ordinance would affect fundraisers by non-profit or-ganizations and whether spe-cial-event-permits would be allowed for events such as July 4th or the Rodeo were raised.

Council members were reminded that the fee is de-signed to help offset expenses for inspections of mobile food trucks operating within the municipal limits of the City of Post. An inspection could close down the operation if an imminent health hazard ex-ists.

Other items addressed in the proposed ordinance in-cludes: distance regulation, hours of operation, fire safety regulations, portable trash re-ceptacle, loud or obnoxious noise, proper disposal of waste water or food preparations by-products. No person would be able to operate a mobile food vendor without comply-ing with the Texas Food Es-tablishment Rules as outlined by the State Health Services.

After a robust discussion no action was taken on the drafted proposal until more information is collected.

The Council denied the ap-proval of a tax deed for prop-erty located at 508 North Ave I. The bid for the two lots was $100 with a unanimous vote to deny approval.

No Action was taken on the Lease/Purchase Agreements for a Deere 310L Loader/Backhoe and a Deere 524L 4WD Loader or the purchase of a John Deer 331G Com-pact Track Loader.

The meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. The next meeting will be Tuesday, July 2nd at 5:30 p.m. The training and meeting was attended by: Mayor Marvin Self, Council-man Jeff Hood, Councilwom-en Melba Cimental, Dianne James, Anita Morris, City Manager Deanna Smith and City Secretary Meg Nelson.
