Gaflron <br />Title: Planning Director <br />Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item DeKription: Big Island: Request for Clean-Up Funding <br />On August 7 staff held a neighborhood meeting with the residents of Big Island. Remarkably, <br />approximately 2/3 of the island landowners were in attendance. The meeting was quite productive <br />in terms of property owners communicating their needs and concerns as well as City communicating <br />its policies and the basis for those policies. Topics discussed included septic systems (a core group <br />of stafl/island owners/septic contractors will be meeting this winter to consider septic system options <br />and opportunities); lake access and public/private use and maintenance of the internal road system; <br />property maintenance; zoning regulations; and public safety (Chief Good and Sgt. Erickson were in <br />attendance). <br />One outcome of the meeting was that residents request that to facilitate major cleanup of junk on the <br />island, the City provide substantial funding for two large dumpsters for a 2-week period in the Fall. <br />Gabriel Jabbour has offered to coordinate transport of the dumpsters to th- island and make all <br />arrangements for them. To lease and transport the dumpsters is estimated to be between $2,500 and <br />$3,0W. Mr. Jabbour has suggested that if the City could provide $2,000, Tonka Bay Marina would <br />provide the remainder of the funding. There are sufficient funds remaining in the recycling/spring <br />cleanup program budget to cover this cost. <br />The residents indicated that the majority of junk and debris expected to be cleaned up is not material <br />that has recently made its way to the island but has been out there for years or decades, and the <br />provision of dumpsters will help in a cleanup effort that is long overdue. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to authorize expenditure of52,000 toward the cost of dumpsters for Big Island cleanup for <br />Fall 20C.'.
