<br />Motion by Council Member Sweeney. seconded by Broussard Vickers to <br />approve the overweight permit for construction on Mound Trail with the <br />stipulation that it be noted this is a one-time permit and that the developer <br />should not come to the City with a request in the Spring when it would <br />damae:e roads. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />2001 Fete des Lacs Committee Structure (Ray DeVine) <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber read materials submitted by Ray DeVine proposing a formal <br />structure for the 2001 Fete des Lacs Committee. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson questioned if the City should reqUIre committee <br />members have some connection to the community. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned how many people worked as a <br />group on the Festival last year. Council Member Sweeney state twenty (20) <br />people or more in the beginning and down to twelve (12) or fewer as it <br />progressed. He indicated about six (6) members were actively involved at the <br />time of the festival. <br /> <br />Mr. De Vine stated he feels they need a seven (7) member core committee that can <br />work on the issues and make decisions and then get volunteers to actually assist <br />with the festival. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney stated he feels that if there is a core group there will be <br />minutes taken and there will be fewer conflicts in the process. He stated he feels <br />that this will not diminish the importance of the volunteers in any way but they <br />need formality. <br /> <br />Mr. DeVine explained he was attempting to address the issue of hurt feelings of <br />those not on the committee and indicated there were subcommittees to be on if <br />someone is not on the formal committee that are just as much a part of the <br />process. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney questioned whether a longer term would be better. Mr. <br />DeVine said the celebration must be planned from the time it is over until the new <br />committee is in place and that is why the term was set as proposed. Mr. Hoeft <br />indicated once the term expires the committee members can stay in the seat until a <br />new appointee is in place or indefinitely if no new appointee is available. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson questioned whether a budget was in place for the <br />committee or not. Mr. DeVine indicated he did not address the budget because <br />the committee was planning on the $5,000 donation from the City and whatever <br />they could raise themselves in donations. <br /> <br />Page 17 of 22 <br />
