MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2015 Meredith Peck, Fleur Royale, reported that she rents her unit out, but indicated her concern with the noise from the outdoor recreation. Peck was concerned about control of alcohol consumption in the outdoor storage area and more opportunities for minors to access alcohol. Peck reported that there is a lot of frustration over how and to whom complaints should be made. Peck also felt that it was a waste of taxpayer resources to call the Sheriff s Department with noise complaints. Keis and the City Administrator indicated that complaints should be made to both the Sheriff's Department and to City Hall. Kim Cossack indicated that they are willing to put in a few more trees, She also pointed out that their application is for outdoor recreation 5 days per week, not the 6 clays mentioned. While they are asking for outdoor recreation Mondays through Fridays, they really plan on only having it Mondays through Thursdays. Cossack noted that they are asking for 6 weekend tournaments each year, Montour asked what evenings Gordies' currently has outdoor recreation. Cossack replied Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. She noted that while their hours are 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., they usually are done by 8:30 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. Cossack reported that they do not allow anyone under 21 years of age to participate and they do not allow people to bring coolers into the outdoor recreation area. Cossack reported that she sometimes has coolers with food and snacks in the recreation area. Montour indicated that it looks like the area needs some general policing. He also expressed concern about expanding the liquor consumption to this area without some level of security. Montour noted that it appears that Cossack in her General Manager duties has to cover a lot of tasks, and suggested that there would need to be a designated security person. Montour also suggested that if the request is approved, there be a semi- annual meeting with representatives of the Council, City staff, and Fleur Royale to discuss the operation and any concerns. Keis pointed out that there is a need for improved general maintenance of the area, clean-up of the outdoor storage, improved screening with trees and/or fencing. Keis stated that he was not supportive of the orange poly fence that is being proposed. Cossack asked if the Council would consider letting them try the plastic fencing, She also agreed to clean up the area and plant additional screening trees. Keis stated that if Gordies' is not intending to use Friday nights and certain recreational activities, he would like to see the request scaled back, 8
