Regular Couucil Meeting of July 26,2004 <br />Murphy moved, Peterson seconded, to approve the Regular City Councii minutes of <br />July 26,2004, as submitted. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS - Rick Rice, Representative <br />Rick Rice stated the Park Commission recently completed a tour of the bam <br />located on the Lurton property in order to better as*’?ss the condition of the structure. <br />Rice noted ten residents of the Lydiard/Kelly neighborhood were at the Park <br />Commission meeting to c.xpress their thanks to the City that the beach in their area <br />has been opened. Rice stated the residents requested the City consider installing <br />a T-dock at the site versus a roll-up dock as well as relocating the restrooms to a less <br />visible spot. Rice noted this area of the lake has recently been cleared of milfoil. <br />Murphy commented that he had been in the area at the time the milfoil was being <br />removed. Murphy inquired whether there were other times when the milfoil could <br />be removed rather than during prime time beach hours. <br />Rice concurred that it would be better for the users of the beach if the milfoil could be <br />removed during hours when the beach is not open. <br />McMillan indicated she had spoken to a representative of the LMCD concerning <br />milfoil removal and was informed that the most efficient method of removing the <br />milfoil is to have the equipment brought to a site and leave it there for a full two or three days until <br />the milfoil has been removed rather than doing it in stages. McMillan stated the <br />LMCD IS aware of the fact that the neighbors would prefer to have the milfoil removed <br />during hours when the beach is not open but at this time is unable to accommodate that <br />request. <br />Rice stated the residents also requested some posts be installed delineating the beach area <br />from the parking area due to safety concerns. Rice inquired whether a new location could <br />be found for the restroom. <br />White commented the DNR has erected aesthetically pleasing structures around their <br />outdoor restroom facilities, which may improve the situation. <br />Rice noted the Park Commission did not arrive at a solution and would likely be addressing this issue <br />again in the future. <br />PAGE 2
