City Council Work Session February 23, 2015 Page 3 <br /> <br />The Ordinance was approved with a vote of 3 ayes and 2 nays. Walsh said he perceives this as <br />a property rights issue. <br /> <br />Attorney Mattick researched the legal side and reviewed the State statutes. The MN <br />Department of Health supports city regulation of wells to prohibit new private wells from <br />being installed if public water supply service is available. This reduces the possibility of <br />contaminants finding their way into the City water supply. <br /> <br />Edwards spoke to why communities are limiting private wells. He reviewed the City’s <br />approved Wellhead Protection Program including education and code practices. Mayor <br />McMillan stated that the City has an investment in the City’s utility infrastructure and the <br />Ordinance is in place to protect that infrastructure and the water source. Navarre has 12 wells <br />versus 400 homes that are currently serviced. Citizens with wells can continue to use their <br />wells until they fail. The Ordinance can be amended at a later date should a problem arise. <br />Cornick stated that the Council needs to work together and this Ordinance was approved, <br />should stand as approved, and move forward. <br /> <br />5. Public Input at City Council Meetings <br />Clarification was requested on the agenda form that addresses public input at the Council <br />meetings. After Council discussion there was consensus that the wording would be: <br />The public is invited to address the Council regarding any item on the regular agenda when it <br />comes up for discussion. If your topic is not on the agenda, you may speak during the Public <br />Comments section. <br /> <br />6. Imaging Project <br />City Clerk Tiegs provided Council with an update on the Laserfiche software. She requested <br />support for document scanning. Council discussed posting the part time position on the City <br />website. <br /> <br />7. Future Work Session Topics <br />Walsh requested that cell tower leases be added to a future work session agenda for <br />discussion. Mayor McMillan stated roads are a priority for discussion at the March work study <br />session. <br /> <br />8. Adjournment 6:58 p.m. <br /> <br />ATTEST <br /> <br />___________________________________ ____________________________________ <br />Diane Tiegs, City Clerk Lili Tod McMillan, Mayor <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 04/13/2015 <br />Approval of Council Work Session Minutes 03/23/15 <br />[Page 3 of 3]
