City Council meeting of May 18, 1998 Page 3 FRANCESCA AVENUE PETPI'ION Residents living along Francesca Avenue North, adjacent to the Hugo Elementary School, appeared before the Council to discuss the need for improvements to their road. Mike Kriz, Public Works, had informed the Administrator that the road was beyond simple repair. The City Engineer expressed concern that reconstructing the road could require area -wide stormwater drainage improvements. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, directing the City Engineer to present a cost estimate for repair of Francesca Avenue to the Council for consideration. All aye. Motion Carried. APPEAL TO DANGEROUS DOG DESIGNATION Sandra Oman, 14000 Fenway Avenue, appeared before the Council requesting that the City Council reconsider the City Attorney's designation of her dog, Cece, as a potentially dangerous dog under Hugo City Code, Chapter 30. The Council considered the City Attorney's letter designating Ms. Oman's dog as being potentially dangerous, as well as the Initial Complaint Report #98010528 regarding the dog's attack on neighboring children on at least four occasions. Mrs. Oman provided the Council with letters from her children stating that the attack was provoked by the child who was bitten, and a letter from a veterinarian stating that a dog will bite, if provoked. She stated that she was aware of only one other biting incident. Because of the biting pattern documented for the Oman dog named Cece, the following motion was made: Miron made motion, Barnes seconded, to uphold the decision of the City Attorney that the dog named Cece owned by Mrs. Sandra Oman, 14000 Fenway, should be considered a potentially dangerous dog, and that the animal should be immediately removed from the City. All aye. Motion Carried. LAND STEWARDSHIP PROJECT Mr. Michael Pressman of the Land Stewardship Project, 2200 4th Street,. WBL, appeared before the Council to make a presentation on a Green Corridor Project being considered for Chisago County and Washington County. No Council action was needed for this matter. LETTER (KATHY MARIER) Kathy Marier, 14092 Flay Avenue, appeared before the Council to discuss with the Council the need for improvement of recreational facilities within the community. Mrs. Marier suggested that the park adjacent to City Hall be named Hugo Lions Park, and that her girl scout troop would be willing to plant flowers around the sign every year.
