1. Review Regular Agenda
Items 3A-3B: Human Resources Director Meg Sawyer briefly reviewed her forthcoming hiring
recommendations for paid on-call firefighter Michael Carlson and Community Service Officer.
Council provided positive feedback for the prospective hires.
Item 4A: Public Safety Director John Swenson reviewed his recommendation to approve a
resolution to allow for the use of golf carts on Blanchard Boulevard, consistent with the
discussion with Council at the May 1, 2023 Work Session.
Councilmember Lyden inquired if additional lights or strobe lighting would be beneficial on the
golf carts; Director Swanson said he did not believe that to be necessary as the understand is that
the golf carts will be primarily operated during daytime hours.
Councilmember Stoesz asked of the costs of signage, whether those expenses would be borne by
Lynblomsten or by the city. Director Swenson advised that a discussion of sign costs has not
occurred,though the expectation will be that any signage be consistent with existing signage in
the city. He also said that he expects only approximately two (2) signs so the costs will not be
significant.
Item 6B: community Development Director Michael Grochala advised that before Council
tonight is the agreement discussed at the May 1, 2023 Council Work Session regarding the
Prosepctus for the Wetland Bank. He noted total cost in full is approximately $76,000; however
the agreement to be presented tonight isolates some of the items to start with upfront. Therefore,
the proposal for Council's consideration contemplates Phase 1 of the Prospectus at
approximately$33,000.
The Council Work Session ended at 6:18 PM.
