We do not want to assign <br />one individual. <br />Mayor Van Nest: You have nine tows. Orono is request­ <br />ing only one operator, not nine. <br />Councilmember Massengale: Are there any other ski tows <br />that have no operators? <br />Mr. Bonner and Brian Primus answered: Yes, with this <br />type of rope tow. <br />Mayor Van Nest: Demonstrate to Orono that this operation <br />does not have to conform to Mr. Olson's five recommendations <br />and is safer and will protect the safety, health and <br />welfare of its users. I cannot approve granting this <br />license for Phase I until further information is available. <br />We want the ski tows to be visibly observed and operated. <br />ANSI Standards were adopted to be adhered to, to provide <br />safety requirements. <br />Mr, Bonner: Evidence tells us you should ignore some <br />of the TU^SI Standards. <br />Mayor Van Nest: A history of no accidents does not <br />relieve us of our responsibilities to provide for the <br />safety, health, and welfare of your patrons as we are <br />charged to do. <br />Councilmember Butler: Orono has to document operational <br />control and needs. <br />Mayor Van Nest moved, Massengale seconded, to approve <br />Ski-Tonka's Phase I license, subject to: <br />1. <br />2. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />7. <br />Correction of stopping distances on Tows 3 & 6. <br />Installation of operator's stations which can view <br />and control the entire length of all tows. <br />Review of signing for conformity. <br />Removal of brush and other tow line obstructions. <br />Maintenance of fencing and chalet access in good repair. <br />All previous five conditions" to be met before starting <br />1977-78 season. <br />1977-78 operation will not be allowed to commence until <br />a satisfactory approved inspection report is submitted <br />with the license application for Phase I by November 1, <br />1977, as per Mr. Olson's ski-inspection report of <br />February 11, 1977. <br />Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0).(Continued) <br />.
