PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS <br /> <br />Snowmobile Concerns <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber referenced three letters included in the Council's packet regarding snowmobile <br />issues in the City. <br /> <br />Norma Essex of7333 Old Mill Road was present to voice her concerns about the lack of respect <br />given from snowmobilers. She indicated the snowmobiles ride on City sidewalks, along the creek <br />and have left unwanted objects in her property. Ms. Essex would like to see snowmobile <br />restrictions implemented and enforced. <br /> <br />Mike Carter of6913 Sumac Court was present to voice his concerns about snowmobiles safety <br />and right-of-ways in the City.

Council Member Nelson stated snowmobiles ruins the sod. Although she <br />has tried to identify the riders, she has not been able to identify the snowmobilers.
