CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION June 24, 2013 DRAFT 2 and report back. Cou ncil Member Rafferty suggested that if the City finds t hat the 46 equipment can’t be us ed other options for the equipment should be explored. 47 48 3. Jim Tosney – Mr. Tosney, who lives at 998 Lantern Lane, distributed a n overhead 49 view of his property. He explained that he had a fence on his property, decided to put in a 50 new fence (as indicated ) and found when he tried to pull a permit, there are no clear 51 property line markers. He’s had to explore getting a survey of the property done but that 52 is more complicated than he ever expected as part of his fence pro ject and it is expensive. 53 54 City Engi neer Wedel added that when a fence permit is requested, the city normally asks 55 for an easement encroachment agreement. There was no agreement in place so city staff 56 requested that be a part of Mr. Tosney’s work. With that comes the need to make sure 57 that the permitted fence is actually on Mr. Tosney’s property. That has been the problem, 58 though, since no one can locate the “pins” that normally designate property lines. Mr. 59 Wedel added that the only way around the survey in his mind would be a sign -off on the 60 fence by all four adjacent property owners. The council concurred with that approach and 61 asked for a report back at the next work session. Council Member Roeser suggested that 62 staff should include a process and cost for pin locations in the futur e. 63 64 Review Regular Council Agenda of June 24, 2013 65 66 Item 2A, Resolution No. 13 -78, Awarding the Sale of Taxable General Obligation 67 Improvement Bonds, Series 2013A – Finance Director Rolek and Springsted, Inc. 68 Consultant Terri Heaton distributed the resul ts of bidding on the city bond sale that had 69 occurred earlier in the day.
