Mayor <br />Peterson stated that the Council was having difficulty scheduling a work session when all <br />members would be available, but that they would as soon as possible. <br />White asked if there would be a park tour this summer. Gappa stated there would not be a <br />summer tour this year. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS —DAVID RAHN, REPRESENTATIVE <br />None. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS • <br />Mr. Miller stated that he had concern about the ability of the project manager hired for the <br />Long Lake Fire Station. The building elevations were not properly done; the ground <br />either sloped toward the building foundation or was flat. He stated rainwater would seep <br />into the foundation and damage the building. He stated it was just a matter of time before <br />the fire station had water inside. He hoped someone would be held accountable. <br />Mr. Miller also stated that the wetland elevations were not designed properly with poor <br />outlets and inlets. <br />He stated that the City website does not give proper instructions for taking care of <br />buckthorn. <br />He felt that lighting was not designed with sensitivity toward the neighbors because the <br />fixtures are too bright. <br />• <br />2 <br />
