City Council meeting minutes of May 8, 1996 Park Lights Motion by Powers - Rasmussen, second by Brenner to approve the park lights to be funded through the Park and Recreation budget. No vote taken, motion later rescinded. Mr. Palzer stated that this project was to be covered by CDBG but now the county won't approve it. NSP would own the fights and would be more economical to run. MOTION by Wilharber, second by Powers - Rasmussen to refer this issue back to Park and Recreation for budget discussion. Motion carried unanimously. Cable Operator Patty Geurke will not be able to work from June 1 through September 1, 1996. Mr. Joe McNaughton has applied for the position. MOTION by Wilharber, second by Powers - Rasmussen to accept Joe McNaughton's application for a temporary cable operator in the absence of Patty Geurke, at the same rate of pay. Motion carried unanimously. Kelly's Korner Fence Issue Councilmember Helmbrecht asked that this be addressed. Kelly's was putting up a mesh fence and Mr. Palzer issued a stop work order because a variance and building permit was not applied for. Councilmember Buckbee questioned the definition of a fence. Mr. Palzer stated that Waterworks recently went through the same thing for replacement of the fence that was damaged in the ice storm. The height requirement is exceeded thus needing a variance. Councilmember Buckbee stated the goal is to provide screening for residents and other businesses and 6' isn't high enough. Mayor Wilharber stated the safety issues of volleyballs flying over into the street. However he did not agree to having it done without a permit. MOTION by Buckbee, second by Powers - Rasmussen to table the fence issue until Councilmember Helmbrecht and the owner of Kelly's can be present. Buckbee rescinded her motion. MOTION by Buckbee, second by Brenner to direct the owner of Kelly's to approach Planning and Zoning for a variance request. Motion carried unanimously. COMMITTEE REPORTS CC5- 8MM.WPS 11
