City Council Minutes Page 7 <br /> May 2,2016 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> 8.1. Adopt License Agreement to Maintain Bee Hives <br /> Mr. Sevcik presented the staff report. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard questioned who carries liability insurance if the hives are <br /> damaged or someone is injured. Mr. Sevcik indicated Mr. Schultz carried insurance. <br /> Councilmember Wagner indicated she has no issue with bee hives but questioned if <br /> it makes sense to sign the property as having an active bee colony on premise. Mr. <br /> Sevcik explained the Houlton Planning Committee discussed signage and didn't have <br /> a strong recommendation either way. One main con discussed by the Committee was <br /> signage sometimes attracts people to things they might not otherwise bother and one <br /> main pro was signage notifying people with bee allergies about the colony. <br /> Moved by Councilmember Olsen and seconded by Councilmember Wagner <br /> to adopt the license agreement with Joseph Schultz to maintain bee hives on <br /> the William H. Houlton Conservation Area. Motion carried 4-0. <br /> Council consensus was to install signage indicating there is a live bee colony on <br /> premise. Mr. Sevcik stated he will work with staff to have one installed. <br /> 8.2 Discuss Work Session Items <br /> Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br /> Councilmember Wagner expressed an interest in having a joint meeting with <br /> Sherburne County to relay resident concerns about Twin Lakes Road. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard stated he would like to see a joint meeting with the <br /> County scheduled soon. He added some possible agenda items are Twin Lakes Road <br /> safety-issues, county ditches, and possible site selection for the multipurpose facility. <br /> 9.1 Council Liaison Updates <br /> The Council provided updates of the work of the various boards/commissions. <br /> The Council recessed at 9:32 in order to go into work session.
