PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE APPROVAL OF AGENDA MOTION by Commissioner Dahl, seconded by Commissioner Zastrow, to approve the agenda. Motion carried unanimously. OPEN MIKE Chris Bretoi, 6779 W Shadow Lake Dr, appeared before the Charter Commission to express concern regarding proposed improvements on Shadow Lake Drive as well as the proposed amendments to the Charter. He indicated that residents in the area attempted to petition the City to conduct a feasibility study in order to obtain recommendations for repair to the road. He stated a report was prepared by TKDA and the issue is now going to a referendum. Mr. P expressed concern that a request for a study has now turned into a referendum. He stated that residents have been informed that the street will not be repaired until the referendum passes. He asked why it is necessary to have holding ponds and walking/biking paths as part of the improvement. Commissioner Handrick stated this is a safety issue that the City has to address. Mr. Bretoi questioned why the City has not come in and performed the repairs in this area and then dealt with the other improvements later on. He added most of the residents in the neighborhood understand that improvements are needed and most residents probably want to preserve the character of the neighborhood in doing that.
