CLOSED CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 RPEHA must first get into compliance by removing all the facilities that are currently on the outlots. Mr. Hawkins said that he will let the attorney for the RPEHA know about this stipulation. Mr. Brixius noted a couple of issues; who is going to distinguish between a boat that is owned by RPEHA member or a guest. Several suggestions were offered but none approved. Mr. Hawkins asked what type of use of the lake has the RPEHA had this summer? Mayor Reinert said it would be difficult to tell however, the use has increased. Mr. Golembeck asked if the City Council were to negotiate a settlement, how many boats would they like to see on the lake. Council Member Bergeson suggested that Mr. Golembeck and Mr. Hawkins establish this figure. Mr. Hawkins asked if the City Council wanted him and Mr. Brixius to start the negotiating process and set up neighborhood meetings? Mayor Reinert said yes, and soon, to show the neighbors that the City Council is concerned about the use of the lake. Mr. Golembeck asked if the conditions outlined by Mr. Brixius should remain the same. Mayor Reinert said yes. Mr. Brixius said that it should be explained at the neighborhood meetings that if problems still persist, the matter will go to trial. Mr. Hawkins said that once the neighborhood meetings have been set, the Council should be very adamant in showing that they are behind what is happening and that any agreement must include some lake usage. Mayor Reinert said he felt, in the interest of the lake, everyone around the lake should become a member of the group that looks at pollution, wake, and other matters concerning protecting the lake. Mr. Brixius said that once the neighborhood meetings have begun, and if it is determined that there will be no agreement, then everyone should be made aware that the matter will go to court and there is no guarantee what will happen. Council Member Bergeson also suggested that a closed meeting be held with the Planning and Zoning Board to let them know what the situation is. Mayor Reinert asked if all City Council members agreed with what is being proposed. Council Member Neal said he felt the matter should go to court. Council Member Kuether felt that would be to costly. Mr. Hawkins told Council Member Neal that the City has a better chance of negotiating an acceptable solution. The meeting adjourned at 6:30 P.M.
