ENGINEER'S REPORT (DRAINAGE ISSUES) Council Member Leroux arrived at 7:25PM. At the Council's request, Mr. Pete Willenbring, the City's water resource engineer, was present at the Council meeting to provide them a briefing on the Hardwood Creek culvert realignment project, the Clearwater Creek storm water improvement project, and the Oneka Lake outlet project. REQUEST FOR CHANGE IN RURAL DRIVEWAY STANDARDS Fire Chief, Jim Wisner, provided the City a letter expressing concerns regarding the construction of long driveways in the City's rural area. His concern is that these long driveways are not wide enough, or maintained well enough, to allow access for emergency vehicles. He requested the City adopt more stringent requirements for these driveways and for their maintenance. The Council discussed the request, but decided they did not want to legislate personal preference. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, to include an article in the City's next Newsletter outlining the hazards of long driveways in the rural area. All aye. Motion Carried.
