February 15,2001 Council Meeting Minutes prior to entering into an agreement with Mr. Drilling to complete same. If there needs to be a major redesign of the ditch it may be cost prohibitive to rebuilt the trailway to gain a mere two (2) feet on the path. The end result may not justify the costs endured by the City. The dips in the current trailway are needed for drainage. Council Member Travis stated that he would like to see a joint effort on the part of the City and Mr. Drilling in regards to the existing trailway. Council Member Travis felt that the Developer's Agreement and the trailway issue should be separate issues. Mayor Swedberg clarified Council's desire to review the Developer's Agreement prior to consideration, a separate document governing the completion of the western trailway, an estimate of costs from Mr. Peterson, screening of the home to the east of the building, and Arborvitaes placed on the exterior of the fence closest to Shad Avenue. Mr. March questioned whether Council approved of the landscaping plan as submitted. Council concurred. Mayor Swedberg questioned Mr. Hoeft as to the appropriate action to be taken at this time and Mr. Hoeft suggested tabling the item. Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded by Council Member Capra to table approval of the Developer's Agreement to the next Council meeting to allow Council ample time to review the document. All in favor. Ayes - 4 Nays -1 (Travis). Motion carried. Council Member Travis stated he is opposed to tabling the item as he feels Mr. Drilling has met each and every requirement of the City and residents alike. Mr. Drilling questioned whether all requirements had been met with the exception of Council reviewing the Developer's Agreement and Mr. Peterson preparing estimates for the western trailway. Council concurred and Mr. Drilling thanked Council. 2. Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park - Electrical Installation Request Mayor Swedberg stated that previously Council had discussed Parks and Recreation Committee's/Fete des Lacs Committee's request for installation of electricity at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. Mayor Swedberg stated that Ms. Karla DeVine was present to discuss this item with Council. Ms. DeVine explained that the Parks and Recreation Committee had made a motion to request that Council commence requests for proposals to install electricity to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. Ms. DeVine explained the costs associated with same are not contained in the Parks and Recreation Committee's budget for 2001 or 2002. The Parks and Recreation Committee feels that the entire conununity would benefit from the installation and requests that Council consider using general funds to assist in same. Ms. DeVine stated that providing electrical services to the park should be a priority allowing additional improvements to follow. Ms. DeVine relayed horrendous problems relating to the festival last year with not having electricity available for R.V., rides, vendors, etc. Ms. DeVine stated that the Centerville Lions Club is considering construction of a concession stand at the park and the need for electric sources for same.
