COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 22, 2001 City Planner Smyser clarified Staff worked with residents to reach an agreement. He stated Staff was concerned with stifling Molin Concrete's business while meeting concerns of residents. Councilmember Reinert asked if it was possible to stipulate in the resolution that no work at Molin Concrete would commence before 4:30 a.m. City Planner Smyser stated the City has a right to put such a condition in the resolution. He stated Molin Concrete must meet early morning deadlines and typically begins work at 5:00 a.m. to meet production needs. Occasionally Molin Concrete must begin before 5:00 a.m. for specific projects, and stipulating a start time in the resolution could negatively impact Molin Concrete's business. Councilmember O'Donnell asked that Conditions 13 C and 13 D as related to time of operation be clarified. Conditions 13 C and 13 D in the proposed resolution read as follows: 13.

City Planner Smyser stated residents believe it is a problem everywhere. Councilmember O'Donnell stated he understood from a recent work session meeting that one (1) shuttle lift was shut down but there are others at the site.
