Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS: <br />Buckbee felt it would be safer if the fire hydrants could be shoveled out and mentioned <br />that some sidewalks had not been cleared. <br /> <br />APPEARANCES: <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS: <br /> <br />Action on the Comprehensive Plan - <br /> <br />Helmbrecht suggested allowing the police to review Lakeland Hills trail ways for lighting <br />and security. Wilharber mentioned he will be at the Police Commission Meeting, <br />Thursday night, he could bring the preliminary plan to the Chief <br /> <br />MOTION by Helmbrecht, seconded by Brenner to table the Comprehensive Plan until <br />after the senior housing workshop. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Use of Laurie LaMotte Park - Wilharber questioned the Park and Recreation's intended <br />use ofthe LaMotte property. Michael Navin commented the P&R board had discussed <br />the land and would like to further investigate their available funds. Although, actual plans <br />to develop the land most likely won't take place until 1998. Wilharber suggested looking <br />into renting the land to a local farmer and applying the earned funds into the P&R <br />account. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Police Sgt. Bob Makela, approached the council asking if there were any complaints. <br />Buckbee asked about the snowmobiles issue. Sgt. Makela said, "There are no problems. " <br />The Police Department may purchase a snowmobile to tag snowmobile violators. <br />Wilharber felt the snowmobile ordinance should be addressed. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS: <br /> <br />Surface Water Management Plan - <br />Nyberg suggested a workshop to discuss these issues since there is so much information. <br />Some information for council consideration prior to the workshop would be erosion, <br />objectives and goals. Finally, Nyberg suggested charging a ditch drainage fee (per square <br />foot) to developing land. To avoid future conflicts, the fees would be designated to the <br />County Road ditch systems where sediment would be removed. <br /> <br />Nyberg asked how involved the city wants to get with Rice Creek Watershed District or if <br />the city wants to delegate the inspections to RCWD? t <br /> <br />4 <br />
