There were no items removed. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Wuori/Blanchard to Adopt the Consent Agenda as presented. <br /> VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR <br /> Mr. Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, stated his concern regarding the <br /> plowing and snow removal on Long Lake Road. Mr. Frits stated that the <br /> plow doesn't come within three feet of the curb. Mr. Frits stated that <br /> each time the plow goes by he has to shovel out his mailbox. Frits <br /> stated that there also is a problem if the City removes this area of snow <br /> because it throws it onto the sidewalk and then, the City has to come <br /> back and clear the sidewalk. There is not enough room to store the snow <br /> on the boulevard area. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that when the City plows he never has to shovel out <br /> his mailbox. The problem is the County is not getting close enough to <br /> the curb. <br /> • Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, stated that there has been active <br /> discussions regarding the City taking over the plowing the County roads <br /> within the City. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that it is probably time to get tough with the County <br /> and discuss with them their reasoning for not plowing to the curb. <br /> Mr. Frits stated that his other concern was the sand and salt being used <br /> on the roadways which is thrown up onto the new boulevard sod and his new <br /> concrete driveway. Frits stated that the City assured him that the salt <br /> content is low, but at a warm temperature it melts the snow very quickly <br /> and—tris indicates that there i a—g eat dea-1 of salt—in t ie--sand <br /> mixture. Mr. Frits indicated that this salt is not recommended for use <br /> on new concrete for two years and that the sod on the boulevard will also <br /> be killed by the salt. Frits stated that to replace this sod would cost <br /> a great deal of money. <br /> Councilmember Blanchard stated that her experience with snowplowing of <br /> Groveland Road is that the plow is not coming within three feet of her <br /> mailbox either and that every time the plow comes by she has to have the <br /> mailbox shoveled out. Groveland is a City-plowed road. <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> There were no public hearings scheduled for this meeting. <br />
