Sarah Smith reviewed the proposed amendment. The Planning Commission

Mayor Meisel opened the public hearing at 7:58 p.m., and upon hearing no public
comment, closed the hearing at 7:59 p.m.
Discussion followed regarding the maneuverability issues caused by smaller
stalls, smaller spaces saving space, etc. Smith stated that Walker Parking's
preliminary design of the transit parking deck has 9' x 18' stalls, and stated that
this size is now the modern standard. Beise stated that he feels that Walker
should have designed the deck with the current city code in mind, not the modern
standard.

following voted in favor: Osmek, Brown, Specht, and Meisel. The following
voted against: Beise. Motion carried.

8. Consideration of Attorney's Opinion memo on means for Dealing with
Disruptive Residents
Hanson informed the Council that recently there have been numerous examples
of neighbor disputes where groups have had to come in to city hall to figure out
ways to get along with their neighbors, which drains staff time. John Dean wrote
an opinion on dealing with these situations.
After discussion it was decided that residents would be assigned one city staff
member to handle their issue, and if it can't be resolved there it will be forwarded
to mediation. If mediation doesn't resolve the issue the parties will be invited to
come before the City Council for assistance on a resolution.
9. Consideration of costs for Andrews Sisters Trail dedication event
A cost estimate of $1,350.00 (for Public Works/Parks personnel) was prepared
for the Council on the proposed dedication event. Discussion followed on the
feasibility of holding this event during the week rather than on a week-end, and it
was decided that it should be held on a week-end. Hanson, Brown, and Tom
Rockvam will meet and decide on the week-end for this event.
MOTION by Osmek, seconded by Brown to allow a budget adjustment in the
amount of $1,350.00 from the general fund into the appropriate departments to
compensate for the cost of this event. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
