Rief invited the <br /> proposers to the work session to discuss their proposals. He mentioned if the Council decides <br /> they would like to entertain the proposals the meeting would be closed for discussion at the <br /> regular meeting scheduled for later tonight. <br /> Mayor Dennis Walsh noted the Council should figure out if they want to sell and if they do want <br /> to sell, does the option need to be opened up to all residents for sale. Walsh also mentioned the <br /> Council should consider discussing how much to sell the lots for if they chose to go that route. <br /> He added figuring out how to do that is another discussion. He also mentioned that he <br /> understands the proposers have made proposals and what that entails but the discussion should <br /> happen. <br /> City Attorney Soren Mattick noted that it would be wise to figure out what you want to do with <br /> the land and then figure out who you would want to open it up to. <br /> Council Member Aaron Printup mentioned that the City has said no to the sale of these <br /> properties for years and it could be a mute subject. <br /> Council Member Victoria Seals asked if these four properties have bathing and boating rights. <br /> Mattick responded by mentioning that the definition of bathing and boating rights normally does <br /> not include having docks. He added nearly eighty or so homes have bathing and boating rights. <br /> Seals stated she was open to putting a dock in and later determining a number for spots available, <br /> and then possibly open up an option for reserving the docks. <br />
