Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved Supplemental Agreement #2, as recommended by the City Engineer. PARTIAL PAYMENT #3 (HUGO FIRE STATION) The Council considered an application for payment, in the amount of $62,093.30, as partial payment for the construction of the City's new Fire Hall. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the payment to Loeffel Engstrand, as recommended by the project architect. DANGEROUS DOG HEARING (STOLP) Mrs. Karen Stolp, 4681 170th Street, has appealed the City Attorney's designation of her dogs, maintained at the above address, as dangerous dogs. This matter was originally scheduled for the Council meeting of November 2, 1998, but Mrs. Stolp requested that the matter be tabled until this evening's meeting. Mr. Stolp stated that the dog had never bitten anyone, and were more "annoying" than dangerous, and the seven (7) dogs were now confined behind a 61/2 ft fence. Neighbors stated that their children were unable to walk on their own driveway for fear of their safety. It was their feeling that just the number of dogs created a "pack" mentality, and posed a threat to people. Members of the Council visiting the home of the dogs did not feel threatened by the animals. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, to uphold the City Attorney's decision and declare the dogs owned by Duane and Karen Stolp as potentially dangerous dogs, with the exception of Dusty. The remainder of the dogs are to be removed within 60 days to allow time for the owners to find new homes for the dogs. After 60 days, the City will make an inspection of the property to insure compliance. VOTING AYE: Barnes, Leroux, Miron VOTING NAY: Arcand and Goiffon Motion Carried.

Only watermain. Dennis Garner felt that 32' was too wide. Liked the drainage system in Lake Air Estates. Becky Petryk lobbied for the infiltration drainage system rather than curb and gutters.
