City Council Minutes Page <br />June 26, 2000 <br /> <br />HOUSE. COUNCILMEMBER MOTIN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION <br />CARRIED 5-0. <br /> <br />Open Mike <br />Dick Gruys, 22347 Monroe Street, Elk River, stated his concerns about the bear <br />population near his neighborhood. <br /> <br />Mr. Gruys also questioned whether the Planning Commission has ever considered <br />extending School Street through Elk Hills as a possible east/west access route for <br />residents living on the eastern side of the community. <br /> <br />6. Other Business <br /> <br />Fiber Optic Work in Ri.qht-of-Way <br />Mayor Klinzing stated that she had been receiving some complaints about work <br />being done by contractors working in the rightof-way. Mr. Maurer informed the <br />council that contractors doing work in the public right-of-way are required to get <br />permits from the building and zoning department and that Public Works <br />Superintendent Phil Hals is completing follow-up checks on contractors to make <br />sure they are completing the work as required. <br /> <br />Mayor Klinzing questioned why Northstar Access was placing black dirt and seed <br />in the public right of way rather than sod. Mr. Maurer indicated that sod would <br />die if it were a dry year, whereas seed may not grow right away if dry, but it <br />would eventually grow when it rains and this is consistent with the city ordinance. <br /> <br />Elk Creek Townhome Obli.qations <br />Councilmember Farber stated his concerns regarding developer Roger Derrick <br />not fulfilling his obligations with Elk Creek Townhomes. Councilmember Farber <br />stated that some of the landscaping around the townhomes is incomplete. City <br />Administrator Pat Kiaers noted that the city still has $10,000 in funds available from <br />the developer, but that this may be a townhome association issue rather that an <br />issue for the developer. <br /> <br />The City Council directed staff to contact the townhome association and see if <br />any remedy can be reached on the landscaping issues. <br /> <br />Downtown Parkin.q Lots <br />Councilmember Dietz noted that about a year ago the council made a motion <br />to prohibit the sale of cars in the downtown public parking lots and to ticket any <br />violators. Councilmember Dietz would like to see the $15 fee raised and signs <br />posted at the lots stating that vehicles will be towed at their own expense. <br /> <br />The City Council requested staff to consider some appropriate recommendations <br />to deter people from selling vehicles in the downtown parking lots. <br /> <br />7. Staff Updates <br /> <br />There were no staff updates. <br /> <br /> <br />
