direction regarding a possible purchase agreement for his property. Hanus

work with property owners on specifics. Kandis Hanson suggested that Perbix
put his request in writing and submit it to Sarah Smith for staff review.
6. Consideration/action on petition from residents regarding no parking
signs on Shorewood Lane
Doug Kaiser, 1880 Shorewood Lane, presented a petition to the Council signed
by residents requesting that the no parking signs on Shorewood Lane, from

the usual way that this would be handled.
