He stated they ’ve made significant <br />changes to the marina since they bought it. There is a DNR public launch on the other <br />side of their property that requires they use extra lights for security, and the launch users <br />leave garbage that blows onto his property. He stated that if the City says the lights are an <br />issue, they will correct them again. <br />Waade stated he had called Briggs regarding the loudspeakers and Briggs told him he was <br />mad at him for calling the police. Waade stated Briggs has no respect for others. <br />Sansevere asked what the current issues were. Gaffron indicated the primary issues are <br />lighting and the paging system. He stated that the loudspeaker noise should not be <br />“loudly audible,” or louder than a normal conversation at the property line. He stated that <br />Briggs had reoriented and redirected speakers both in and outside in order to comply with <br />City requests. <br />Nygard suggested Briggs get walkie-talkies for his employees so there would be no need <br />for Waade to complain. <br />Briggs stated he believed they had complied with the City ordinance, but Waade would <br />never be satisfied. He stated Gabriel Jabbour could give them more information about <br />both sides of the dispute. <br />Nygard stated that it is Briggs’ responsibility as the business owner to keep his neighbors <br />happy. <br />Briggs stated that there is a whole series of problems before them, and he has gone out of <br />his way to accommodate Waade. <br />Murphy asked about the lights.
