VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Fleming, LeMair, Petersen, and Zieska, the motion carried. PRESENTATIONS: 2004 Code Enforcement Year End Report. Building Inspector and code enforcer Mike Peterson presented the 2004 Code Enforcement Year End Report, which noted a decrease in complaints from the prior year. Fleming: Is the decrease attributable to anything? Peterson: Most likely Iow snowfall. Petersen: Were there complaints about storage; boats in the yard, etc? Peterson: Those complaints show up under the "junk" category. Storage along the side of the house seems to be the number one complaint and we continue to work on it. LeMair: Does a resident contact you directly if they have a complaint? Peterson: Residents can contact the building inspection department either by calling the general city hall number or the Website. We will get name of the caller; stop at the residence that is being complained about to confirm it is a valid complaint; tell them what needs to be corrected; send them a written document with a timeline to get in compliance. If necessary a second letter is sent followed by a ticket issued by the City. City Council Meeting Minutes March 7, 2005 Draft Haugen: When a complaint is received, do you see them face to face?

MOTION BY FLEMING, SECOND BY ZIESKA, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 05-38 ACCEPTING BIDS AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE CITY'S STANDARDIZED CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR A FIG TEST WELL AND APPURTENANT WORK TO MARK J TRAUT WELLS, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $64,138.00. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Fleming, LeMair, Petersen, and Zieska, the motion carried. Consider Approval of a Resolution Adopting a Policy with Respect to the Operation of City Owned Boat Slips. Boyles reviewed the policies proposed by joint efforts of the Park and Lake Advisory Committees for the use of slips owned by City including that the slips be offered for use on a first come first serve basis, only during park hours with no daily time limit: One slip would be reserved for official watercraft of Department of Natural Resources; them would be no mooring of personal watercraft or canoes; no fishing, waterskiing, diving, or swimming by the slips; and, all other state, county city ordinances would apply. Fleming: Liked the idea of encouraging residents to come downtown. Petersen: The Park and Lake Advisory Committees worked on this. Would approve it the way it is written. LeMair: Worked with the Lake Advisory Committee. The proposed policies stemmed from original strategic plan, or 2020 vision, to improve community lake usage and to get access to the lake for non-riparian people while reducing parking issues for residents who live near the lake. Would like to see an opportunity for boats to stay overnight by having some of the slips available to be reserved for a fee. Zieska: Agreed that some of the slips should be set up for reservation. Fleming: Queried whether the sentiment at the joint meeting of Park and Lake Advisory Committee meetings was the opposite of what LeUair and Zieska proposed. Haugen: Them were viewpoints on both sides. One of the masons for having the slips open is to tie lakefront park usage and downtown together. A weekend reservation would detract from that by limiting the number people arriving and departing during that time. A 24-hour reservation should be the maximum. The park closes at 10 p.m. and we don't have enforcement on the lake. By not restricting the use of the slips with reservations, the public slips provide a place for boaters to stop, go to the park or downtown, etc., and stay for a short period of time. Opposed to overnight reservations. City Council Meeting Minutes March 7, 2005 Draft LeMair: Regarding enforcement, there would be ordinances making violations a misdemeanor. Reservations on a slip would allow people to make downtown dinner plans, etc. Proposed only half of the slips be on a reservation basis, Zieska: What hours are the park staffed and how would we enforce no one parking in the DNR/police slip? Favors reserving slips for the park hours during the summer weekends. Boyles: Life guards work until beaches close in the evening and community service officers work alternate schedules. Fleming: Expressed concern about the potential for underage behaviors if reserving slips for overnight. Petersen: There is a small amount of vandalism that happens on the lake. No one would be watching the boats and the City might become responsible for them. Pace: The City would post signs indicating the City would not be responsible for any injury or damage to person or property. Haugen: Allow reservations on a daily basis for half the slips. Revisit at the end of the season. See if it should be restricted or broadened. LeMair: Report on usage at,the second Council meeting in July. MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY PETERSEN, APPROVING RESOLUTION 05-39 ADOPTING A POLICY WITH RESPECT TO THE OPERATION OF CITY OWNED BOAT SLIPS TO INCLUDE MAKING NINE SLIPS AVAILABLE FOR RESERVATION WITH A FEE ON A DAILY BASIS DURING PARK HOURS, ONE SLIP RESERVED FOR DNR/POLICE USE AND THE REMAINING EIGHT SLIPS FOR PUBLIC USE; PLACING THIS POLICY INTO CITY CODES; AND REPORTING ON THE SLIP USAGE AT THE SECOND COUNCIL MEETING IN JULY, 2005. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Fleming, LeMair, Petersen, and Zieska, the motion carried.

Boyles presented and outlined the public notices and processes that the City would follow. LeMair: The City doesn't need to keep property in inventory. Zieska: Agreed that the City should move forward with the Franklin Trail/Park Nicollet property, but requested that the Main Avenue/Hastings property be researched to determine if a ten-foot strip of adjacent property is available to be sold. Petersen: Agreed the properties should be sold. Fleming: Agreed and solicited confirmation that the sale would be in alignment with the comprehensive plan? Haugen: Agreed on sale and research of the ten-foot parcel..
