1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 12, 1993 Bob Nelson, 6733 East Shadow Lake Drive - Mr. Nelson explained that he recently reviewed a video tape of the March 22, 1993 Council meeting and said that there were some items that need clarification. He read a long statement which included a rebuttal to the "allegation" that the older lake lot owners want to keep the lake private. Mr. Nelson gave a brief history of the development of the Reshanau Lake area. He noted that the lake lot owners were not "selfish" but wanted to preserve what had brought them to this area. Mayor Reinert noted that there are a number of residents present this evening both "pro" and "con" regarding the subject of a private boat launch on Reshanau Lake. He explained that this item is not on the agenda for any type of action this evening. Mayor Reinert explained that the City has contacted Mediation Services and they are in the process of gathering information so that mediation on this matter can take place. He explained that if this does not work, the matter will be turned over to the City Attorney. Mayor Reinert said he hoped to avoid this action.

The minutes indicated that there were no plans to develop Outlots A and B as originally planned. Mr. Brand then explained what he felt had occurred at the two (2) outlots since the original public hearing. Mr. Brand also read from the Reshanau Park Estates Home Owner's Association document stating that according to this document the Association looks to the City for authority. He concluded by asking several questions: 1) when and what is the City going to do about this issue?; 2) has the City communicated with the DNR, the ACORP and the RCWD that the Home Owner's Association went forward with the boat launch without the necessary permits from the City?; 3) had this same scenario happened with another developer, would the City act or failed to act in the same manner? Martha Walmsley, 6978 Black Duck Drive appeared before the City Council to express her concern about due process. She referred to an incident on March 28, 1993 at Outlots A and B where several people entered the property without permission and removed material. Two (2) of the six (6) persons who entered the property without permission are appointed members of City boards or commissions. Following this incident Mrs. Walmsley called Mayor Reinert and asked that he request the resignation of these two (2) appointed public officials. The following week Mrs. Walmsley and Mrs. Ostergren talked to Mayor Reinert again.
