COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 22, 2004 APPROVED 574 agree to do only grading between June 1st and July 15th, with the noisier construction taking place • 575 after July 15th. 576 577 Vern Swing asked to clarify the distance required to stop, noting reaction time needs to be factored in. 578 He stated reaction is presumed to be 2 seconds, so roughly 200 feet more of ramp is needed than 579 originally discussed. Councilmember Reinert asked if that was the reaction of someone who 580 suddenly realizes they have to stop. Mr. Swing indicated it is. Councilmember Reinert stated 581 someone coming up to the ramp would know they have to stop so the reaction time is irrelevant. Mr. 582 Swing indicated the deceleration rate is probably not what you would use for normal ramp 583 deceleration; you would typically slow down at a much slower rate. 584 585 Ms. Marty stated she has a request from the Heron Group that asks that the mayor abstain from voting 586 based on his employment with Bethel College and its affiliation with Eagle Brook Church. 587 588 Mayor Bergeson indicated they have heard that suggestion before and have conferred with the City 589 Attorney. He stated he has been told it is not a conflict of interest. He advised one person on the 590 Church Board has worked at Bethel, but not in his department and they have never had a supervisor/ 591 subordinate roll.

He verified that 595 what is written in condition #11 is acceptable to the church. The church representatives responded it 596 is.
