e <br /> � <br /> The Ordinance was approved with a vote of 3 ayes and 2 nays. Walsh said he perceives this as <br /> a property rights issue. <br /> Attorney Mattick researched the legal side and reviewed the State statutes. The MN <br /> Department of Health supports city regulation of wells to prohibit new private wells from <br /> being installed if public water supply service is available. This reduces the possibility of <br /> contaminants finding their way into the City water supply. <br /> Edwards spoke to why communities are limiting private wells. He reviewed the City's <br /> approved Wellhead Protection Program including education and code practices. Mayor <br /> McMillan stated that the City has an investment in the City's utility infrastructure and the <br /> Ordinance is in place to protect that infrastructure and the water source. Navarre has 12 wells <br /> versus 400 homes that are currently serviced. Citizens with wells can continue to use their <br /> wells until they fail. The Ordinance can be amended at a later date should a problem arise. <br /> Cornick stated that the Council needs to work together and this Ordinance was approved, <br /> should stand as approved, and move forward. <br /> 5. Public Input at City Council Meetings <br /> Clarification was requested on the agenda form that addresses public input at the Council <br /> meetings. After Council discussion there was consensus that the wording would be: <br /> The public is invited to address the Council regarding any item on rhe regular agenda when it <br /> comes up for discussion. If your topic is not on the agenda, you may speak during the Public <br /> Comments section. <br /> 6. Imaging Project <br /> City Clerk Tiegs provided Council with an update on the Laserfiche software. She requested <br /> support for document scanning. Council discussed posting the part time position on the City <br /> website. <br /> 7. Future Work Session Topics <br /> Walsh requested that cell tower leases be added to a future work session agenda for <br /> discussion. Mayor McMillan stated roads are a priority for discussion at the March work study <br /> session. <br /> 8. Adjournment 6:58 p.m. <br /> ATTEST <br /> Diane Tiegs, City Clerk Lili Tod McMillan, Mayor <br /> City Council Work Session February 23,2015 Page 3 <br />
