MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AUGUST 10, 2011 <br />GOPHER <br />ELECTRONICS/ <br />SAVAGE LAKE <br />REQUEST <br />TO RENAME <br />SAVAGE <br />LAKE & <br />SAVAGE <br />LANE <br />ADJOURN <br />Rocky Waite appeared before the Council asking the status of the <br />sedimentation pond on the Gopher Electronics property. Waite noted <br />that he raised this issue with the Council 3 % years ago. Waite felt that the <br />existing situation is causing harm to Savage Lake. <br />The City Administrator reviewed an August 151 email wherein it is <br />reported that the Watershed and Gopher Electronics is working out a cost - <br />share agreement to address the situation. <br />Waite again noted that it has been 3 1/2 years and nothing is done yet. 11e <br />pointed out that a condition of construction of the Gopher Electronics <br />building was that there be a sedimentation pond to filter run -off before it <br />went into the lake. <br />The City Administrator reported that there was a delay by the Watershed <br />in moving forward on this issue, but it is now proceeding. Initially there <br />was some discussion on who was responsible, but the Watershed is <br />agreeable to a cost -share agreement with Gopher Electronics. <br />The Council asked that the City Administrator request a timetable for <br />completion from the Watershed as well as progress updates. <br />Waite indicated that he would provide the City with copies of minutes that <br />reflect the requirement that Gopher Electronics maintain a sedimentation <br />pond on their property. Blesener asked that Waite submit that information <br />to the City Administrator. <br />Waite reported that he is a Choctaw Cherokee and that he is offended by <br />the name of Savage Lake and Savage Lane. Waite requested that the <br />City provide him with assistance in getting these names changed. <br />Montour stated that while the City would have some control over a street <br />name, he did not believe the City had any authority to rename a lake. <br />Keis and Boss stated that they never associated these names as derogatory <br />terms. Waite felt that the process to change the names should start with <br />the City and asked for any assistance that the City could provide. Montour <br />stated that while he appreciates Waite's position, he felt that such a <br />request should come from people living on Savage Lake and /or Savage <br />Lane. Waite felt that it was a violation of his civil rights to have this <br />name in place. <br />Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -8 -155 — ADJOURNING <br />14 <br />
