MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 239 2025 Miller commented that they asked for input, and they received some. He stated that it seemed like residents were split 50/50 for and against. Malone suggested that they cut the usage by 50 percent. Mayor Fischer commented that is not logical. Miller commented that the comments were more against the megaphone and taking up the lake. He stated that they would no longer use the megaphone and would communicate and also use Keller. Mayor Fischer stated that he has observed the rowing club on a number of occasions. He stated that people started arriving at 8 a.m., and they were off the lake before 10 a.m. He stated that most of the rowers were making their way to the parking lot at City Hall. He commented that there were four or five boats with 14 people, and it was a non-event on the lake. He stated that he has seen days where the group is spread across the lake, and they have made it clear that they do not prefer to have the group spread out across the lake and "owning it". He believed that the restrictions as recommended would make this work, and if those rules are broken, the permit can be revoked. He suggested that the permit be reviewed again before school begins and the times change. Kwapick asked if staff are comfortable with the revised language for the conditions, or whether this should be tabled to allow staff to amend the conditions as discussed. Mayor Fischer commented that tabling this would stop this process where it is at and directing staff to amend the proposed conditions. He stated that the public hearing has been closed, and he would not reopen that for additional comments at a future meeting. Kwapick introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2025-6-9 7 — CONTINUE THIS REQ UEST TO THE JUL Y 9,2025, CITY CO UNCIL MEE TING A S A S TA FF REPOR T The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Miller.
