Mayor Tralle stated that it has recently come to the City's attention that Sherburne Communications is operating out of the Lodge and that this may be a violation to the agreement made in 1984. Mayor Tralle indicated that Council must determine what type of business Sherburne Communication is considered. He stated that if it is determined to be retail then it should not be allowed to operate in the Lodge. Mr. Doug Pitzele, owner of Sherburne Communications, stated that his business is not a retail business. He mainly works on contract to municipalities and most of the work is done off of the premises. He indicated his office consists of a telephone and computer and is approximately 250 square feet in size.
