City Council Minutes October 7, 2019 Page 11 Mayor Dietz stated he has no issues as long as the development is willing to pay for the study. He stated the 429 Assessment Process would be fair and the city could structure the bond and payments for them. Council consensus is to move forward with the feasibility study as long as the Windsor Park Yd Addition development pays for it. 10.5 Sidewalk Plowing Mr. Femrite presented the staff report. Council consensus is to change city ordinance to allow the community 48 hours to clear sidewalks. Council directed staff to record costs, equipment, and manpower needs so they can evaluate, next spring, whether to have city staff plow all sidewalks. 10.6 Direction on Code Enforcement Procedures Mr. Portner presented Mr. Carlton's staff report. He questioned if Council would you like to continue with fine or increase additional fines for failed compliance or push for prosecution, which often times can remedy issues quicker. Utilizing the fines we can assess back to the property owner the 429 process. Councilmember Christianson noted the city pays with either option. Mayor Dietz stated it would be nice to recoup some of the costs. Mr. Portner questioned if Council would consider a fine for each trip made by the code enforcement officer to a property. Councilmember Wagner stated she is uncertain and felt it was part of the code enforcement officer job description. Council consensus is to increase the fine amounts and continue with 429 process if not paid. 10.7 Park Shelters Roof Color Branding Mr. Hecker presented the staff report. Councilmember Wagner stated she would like the roof color to be consistent among all shelters in the city as noted in previous meetings. She reviewed research she completed of other facilities with the similar look of the red roof, black posts and stone columns. Councilmember Westgaard concurred stated he felt strong about having continuity with branding. PBwERE6 B1 I'r�ATURE
