(KLZA)--Members of the Taking Back Our Community group attended the Monday night City Council meeting in Falls City to voice concerns about the number of people that sit in vehicles late at night using WiFi from the library. 

Stan  Coupe was the spokesman for the group. 

City Administrator Gary Jorn said since visiting with Coupe and Bob Witt with the Taking Back Our Community Group last week, the WIFI is currently shut down overnight based on a couple of events that have occurred.

For the time being, the WIFI is turned off at 9 in the evening and turned back on at 8:00 A.M.  What the policy will be in the future is currently unknown.

Coupe also asked several questions about the Wellness Center rental agreement the City has with the owners of the business.  Jorn said at the present time the renters are current on their rent and have insurance on the facility.  

In other business, the Council voted 5-3 to approve on first reading an ordinance that would increase the compensation for the Mayor and Council members. Voting against the proposal were Council members Charlie Bentley, Kirby Robidoux and Mike Dougherty.

During the August 6th Council meeting, Second Ward Council Person Judy Murphy proposed the Mayors compensation be increased $1,800 annually to $5,400. The proposal for the Council members is to increase the wage from $2,400 per year to $4,200 annually.

If approved as proposed, the total increase for the Mayor and eight council members would amount to $16,200 annually.  The proposal would need to be approved three times to go into effect with the seating of the next  Council in December.
