City Council Minutes Page i <br />May 2, 2016 <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.
