Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 18, 2019 Page 22 Councilmember Groff stated he would like to see staff bring it forward to get more information on what other communities do and what the possibilities would be. Councilmember Willmus thought staff had done some of that background work and Lauderdale is one of the only communities staff could find that actually has something on their books. He noted enforcement is an entirely different question so he did not know that it is something that will be a priority or how much time the Council wants to allow for it. Mayor Roe stated he did talk to Mr. Englund and who said that this past winter there were about ninety complaints about snow removal, eighty-seven of them were commercial properties and two of the three non-commercial properties were related to either a person or private plowing companies depositing snow on- to the City street. This leaves the one case from the individual who came to the Council meeting and spoke. Mayor Roe thought that told him the magnitude of the issue may not be something the Council wants to get into a code discussion on. Councilmember Etten agreed but felt bad for the neighbors. He did not know how it could be enforced. Councilmember Willmus thought it came down to a personal property dispute and he did not think this was the body to deal with it. Councilmember Groff stated he did receive two calls from residents about issues. Mr. Trudgeon reviewed future agenda items for March 25, April 8, and April 15, 2019 City Council meetings. There was not council consensus to bring forward consideration of snow removal nui- sance standards Councilmember Willmus asked staff for an update on the status of the County's efforts on Larpenteur Avenue between Rice and Dale Streets. 12.
