REGULAR AGENDA, 13 FEBRUARY 1995
Mr. Schumacher reviewed the Council agenda for February 13.
There were some questions concerning the feasibility report for
Trappers Crossing. Mr. Powell explained that 18% of the Holly
Drive feasibility relates to Trappers Crossing or 1.8 miles. The
City may have some responsibility for the balance of the project
therefore a cost sharing proposal is under consideration. Mr.
Powell also explained that this will be a State Aid project and the
cost could be $1 1/2 Million.
The Council also discussed Annual Appointments and the Council
Liaison positions. Mayor Reinert stated that he felt they were
important. Council Member Kuether and Elliot questioned their
purpose as they do not feel comfortable answering for the entire
Council when questions arise. This will be discussed further at a
future work session.
SNOW REMOVAL AND ICE POLICY - TOM DEWOLFE
Tom DeWolfe explained the current snow removal and ice policy. The
City can not, for liability reasons, plow or sand private property.
Tom supplies a list of snow plowers and advises residents they can
come to City Hall and pick up a bucket of sand. He also advises
them that it does contain 10% salt. There was some discussion
about having two or three locations were sand could be picked up by
residents. Those suggestions included Sunrise Park, Birch Park,
City Hall, and the Park & Rec Building. A final determination will
be made prior to next winter.
