Mr. Shudy has <br />since then requested to lease the property as a temporary, ready mix concrete plant. Mr. March <br />commented he found the documentation from former City Attorney Greg Hellings in regards to <br />the status of the ownership ofthe parcel and its restrictions. Mr. Hoeft reported that in order to <br />clear the property the City will have to undergo an umestricted deed process.

Currently, the <br />City cannot use the property for any use other than for park purposes. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber clarified that the ready mix is dry and questioned the water source. Mr. Shudy <br />replied the water will be hauled onto the site. Mayor Wilharber questioned Mr. Shudy's <br />operational plan. Mr. Shudy responded during the cold season business stops and during the <br />warm season business resumes. Mayor Wilharber requested the Engineers comments prior to <br />making a decision. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber moved to direct Staff to continue researching the possibilities and pursue <br />the park property change to remove the restrictions. Councilmember Brenner seconded the <br />motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />Otter Lake Animal Control Contract <br />Mr. March gave a synopsis of the Otter Lake Animal Control Contract and noted that specific <br />contractual items were incidentally omitted (page 3).
