06-23-14 CC WS MinutesCITY OF SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MONDAY, JUNE 23, 2014 MINUTES L CONVENE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD COUNCIL. CHAMBERS 6:00 P.M. Mayor Zerby called the meeting to order at 6:01 P.M. A. Roll Call Present. Mayor Zerby; Councilmembers Siakel, Sundberg, and Woodruff; Administrator Jaynes; City Clerk Panchyshyn; Finance Director DeJong; Planning Director Nielsen; and Director of Public Works Brown Absent: Councilmember Hotvet B. Review Agenda Councilmember Sundberg asked that Item 3.0 be expanded to be a broader look at renewable energy and environmental issues. Mayor Zerby stated he thought that was the intention for that item. Woodruff moved, Sundberg seconded, approving the agenda as presented. Motion passed 410. 2. DISCUSSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES A. Use of Chemicals for Vegetation Management Mayor Zerby noted that the meeting packet contains a memorandum from Director Brown regarding the City's use of chemicals for vegetation management. Director Brown explained that Shorewood resident Alan Yelsey had come before Council to raise concerns about the City's use of chemicals, He explained that the Public Works Department uses two main chemicals. One is for the unmanaged portion of the roadway right -of= -ways (ROWs) and that is treated once a year, Staff is proposing to change the chemical currently being used to a water based . herbicide called Threesome. It also uses a chemical commonly known as Roundup for the warning tracks on the baseball fields which are also treated once a year. There has been a great deal of discussion about how those chemicals affect. ground water as well as things such as pollinator bees. He noted that Mr. Yelsey was present in the audience as was Mr. Nick Anderson who is the contractor the City routinely uses to apply chemicals on the ball fields and the ROWS. Mayor Zerby asked Director Brown to comment how the City selects its vendors for that and the City's oversight in the treatment process. Is the City given a list of the chemicals that would be applied each year for review? Brown explained staff picks the vendor; it is not put out for bid because low bid is low bid. Staff does not want to put the City in that position. Staff prefers to work with vendors it is most comfortable with. Staff works with the vendor on the selection of the chemicals to be used. Zerby then asked what size of area the City has treated. Brown noted the intent is not to maintain the ROW areas as manicured lawns. The City has a responsibility to maintain its ROWs for weed control. Zerby went on to ask if the City is trying to maintain the height of the vegetation. Brown explained the City tries to control broadleaf and noted the City does not have a grass height ordinance. Zerby asked if the City tries to CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES June 23, 2014 Page 2 of 9 selective about the types of plants grown in the ROWS. Brown responded yes. Zerby asked if broadleaf is invasive to peoples' lawns. Brown explained the City receives comments from residents who have lawns adjacent to the ROW that do keep a manicured lawn or don't want broadleaf weeds creeping into their property. The areas have not been treated yet this year due to the ground being very wet. In response to a question from Councilmember Sundberg, Director Brown explained that Mr. Anderson is a licensed chemical applicator. In response to another question. Brown explained the meeting packet contains a copy of an email from Todd Rexine, Director of Operations for Great River Greening, challenging statements Mr. Yelsey had made about the chemical used to treat buckthorn in Freeman Park in 2013 in his letter of concerns submitted to the City. Mr. Nick Anderson the contractor for the Cit , clarified he is not a chemical expert. He is a state licensed applicator. He is not qualified to speak to environmental specifics. He explained that each year he provides Director Brown with the labels and the material safety data sleets of the products he uses. He bought his business from his father -in -law who had worked with the City for more than 30 years. They have used the same product which is a base of 2,4 -D . It does not have a lot of other stuff in it. The product gets rids of the noxious weeds that are supposed to be controlled in Minnesota. The non -kept areas along the roadside are sprayed in the spring. They do not spray yards or areas that are kept and they stay away from flowers. The ball fields, soccer fields and parks are sprayed in the fall. He noted that is a minimal treatment program. Mayor Zerby stated what he understands based on what has been said. is Mr. Anderson provides staff with the product information in the spring and staff can decide if the City wants to use a different product. Mr. Anderson stated it is more about a mapping area that needs to be controlled. He reviews that with Director Brown each year. The chemical used for the parks usually stays the same. The product for the ROWS could possibly be changed. He is under the direction of what Brown tells him. Zerby asked if the product used is widely used across cities. Mr. Anderson stated it is the most widely used product for broadleaf and it has been around for a long time. It is the most studied product by the government. Councihnember Woodruff asked Mr. Anderson to tell people what it means to be state licensed. Mr. Anderson stated he takes a test from the State of Minnesota through the University of Mimicsota to get his license. Then every year he has to get recertified by participating in a six -hour workshop which has to be completed by December 31 so his license will be renewed the following year. It involves a lot of safety things and things such as how much to put down per square foot of area. Mayor Zerby noted that Council cannot make any decisions during this work session.. He asked those people in the audience wishing to speak to keep their comments to no more than five minutes and not to reiterate what someone else has spoken about. Alan Yelse 26335 Peach Circle, noted that he would have appreciated having the information from Director Brown about the City's chemical usage before this meeting. He also noted that it has been nine months since he presented this issue to the City. Mr. Yelsey explained he just received his newest issue of Scientific American magazine. There is an article in the magazine about cancer which states the research and peoples' understanding of how the body works is not what people thought it was. Very small amounts of chemicals can cause autoinumme reactions, cancers and so forth. People are just now learning that the idea of limits of quantity is not an accurate way of understanding the human body. If what is being learned from research in the last ten years is correct people are far more sensitive to chemicals the body had never experienced than originally thought. The number of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and autoimmune diseases in a community CITY OF SIIOREWOOD WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES .Tune 23, 2014 Page 3 of 9 like Shorewood makes him wonder what the causal factors are. Although he does not have the facts he would assume some of the chemicals being talked about are part of that causal factor. Shorewood is located in a high water table area where water is all over. Water seeps down into wells. People swim in lakes, If there is a concern for the community and the health of the people living in the community, he recommends Council establish a committee that deals with environmental issues. The committee should be a friendly committee that would work with the City, not in opposition. to the City. A lot of people in the community are sensitive to issues like bees, human health, wildlife and sustainable living. They want the City to do more than it has been doing. There is an active group of people who want to take on the issue of chemical contaminants. They want to know if the City really needs to apply chemicals. Their preference would be to avoid doing that if possible and would like the opportunity to weigh in on the decision as to whether or not the City needs to apply chemicals on the ROWS. From his vantage point he does not believe it was necessary to apply a fairly toxic chemical in Freeman Park to help eradicate buckthorn even though it was applied by a regulated entity. The City of Edina has identified areas where it will not apply chemicals. Icing and salt is another form of chemical being applied. If people consider water quality and air quality as one category in the community then it becomes important to understand the dimensions of water quality and quit poisoning people in the community. The Scientific American article indicated that pregnant women are far more sensitive to the chemicals being talked about and the children they give birth to may have negative effects from very small quantities of hazardous chemicals. When contractors are making a living from applying chemicals they have a self interest in preserving their way to make their living. They may not be as sensitive to the issue as residents are because they are not drinking water with chemicals in it. Mr. Yelsey asked Council if it would like him to address the memo from Director Brown. Mayor Zerby stated he did not think it was necessary to go through it point by point. But, if there is a specific item or two that Mr. Yelsey wants to touch upon that would be appropriate. Mr. Yelsey noted that he appreciated Director Brown's work and the job he has to do for the City. Unfortunately, he rejects virtually every point made in the document based on science. Ile explained the science is such that the chemical should not be applied in June. It should not be applied near water. It should not be applied if it is not necessary, The chemical damages bees and plant life. From his perspective that is not necessary. Mr. Yelsey reiterated that he would like the City to form a comprehensive group that would look into air and water quality. He stated the group could do the research for the City with the City and the contractors. The group could identify better practices. What is being done are not best practices from his perspective. Edina and other cities do a much better job of addressing this issue then Shorewood. He commented that he would like to think that the City and its residents are contributing to sustainability in the world by identifying ways to grow local plants and food that could also be habitat for bees and animals. There are things the residents would like to do if enabled by Council. Everyone would be better off if they were all educated about these matters. Councilmernber, Sandberg stated she shares Mr. Yelsey's perspective about resident involvement. But, she is not sure how to go about doing that in a time efficient way. She then stated she thought there is a need to get professional input so people can learn the facts. She clarified she does not want to slow the process down but it is important that others on Council and staff are involved. She questioned how to get CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MEETING- MINUTES June 23, 2014 Page 4 of 9 such a group focused because there are so many things the group could get involved with. A subset of things that can be addressed and that can have impact needs to be identified. Mr. Yelsey suggested looking at a new model for how Council and staff work with residents. For example, one member of Council and one member of staff could be involved as primary contacts with a group of residents. It would be up to the group to do the foot work on objectives which would basically be to obtain and maintain the best quality of life in Shorewood with regard to the environment and sustainability. That would include looking at alternative energy, alternative ways of growing food, preserving water and helping each other to take on issues that relate to the cnvirontnent. That should not stress Council or City staff. He reiterated Edina is making it work and he thinks the City can also. Mayor Zerby noted he is a very big supporter of seeking community input. But, he is not always patient about waiting for the outcomes. He suggested doing testing of an alternative, maybe organic, product in some areas and testing no application in some other areas and continuing the current practices in yet other areas. The results could then be assessed and compared. He stated he thought it would take a year before any results would available using the approach of establishing a committee. Then there would have to be discussion about where to go from there. It would be a multi -year process. His perspective is based on what he has observed in the past. Councilmember Siakel stated she would like to know what the options are. She assumes there are other products available that are less toxic. She then stated that from her perspective Shorewood has been quite progressive. Council has been very willing to listen to the City's residents. There has almost been a tone that the City and Council is doing something to harm the residents. Council and Staff have acted in the best interest of the community. When staff is asked to do something staff does its best to follow up and work with the residents. She went on to state if there is an opportunity to get input from residents that would be good. She asked Mr. Yelsey if there are other residents that would want to participate. Patricia Hauser, 5805 Minnetonka Drive, stated that Shorewood is a relatively small city and that she perceives that she has access to Council. She would not want to have to go through an environmental group and then the Park Commission and then get to Council before having someone make a decision. She clarified that she supports the idea that issues of pesticides need to be dealt with in a timely manner. She expressed her support for testing various options. She stated there is a person in the audience that knows something about chemicals and knows of a no- charge group that could be of assistance. Nancy Mulhern, 5735 Minnetonka Drive, asked Mr. Anderson what certifications he holds. Mr. Anderson responded Category A and Category E. She explained that she works with an environmental consulting firm with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). It has training for turf grass management and snow and ice control. The training has been going on for years. The training focuses on using chemicals in the right way using IPM (integrated pest management) practices when possible; not on eliminating chemicals. Thousands of maintenance workers for cities and counties have participated in the training and for doing that they receive a voluntary certification. Ms. Mulhem stated there are a lot of alternatives to spraying for broadleaf control and other noxious weeds. For example, there can be physically pulled out. Cities are required to control the noxious weeds; but, they are not required to spray them. Mayor Zerby asked which agency requires cities and counties to remove those weeds it has deemed noxious. Ms. Mulhern responded the State of Minnesota; the State has a noxious weed rule. Lou Harland 5300 Eureka Road, stated that she thought the use of pesticides and herbicides is a very important issue. She asked Council if it is aware of the issue of the declining population of pollinator CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES June 23, 2014 Page 5 of 4 bees which is related to the chemical issue. She noted it is such an important issue that President Obama intends to address it at the federal level. She asked that Shorewood attempt to use organic treatment methods and move away from the use of chemicals. She stated if the chemicals are helping to kill bees she asked what they are doing to humans. Mayor Zerby clarified herbicides kill weeds and pesticides control bugs. At this time the discussion is about the use of herbicides for vegetation management. He stated Ms. Harland's comments are applicable to both. Mark Harland 5300 Eureka Road, explained that he delivers injectable nuclear medicine that is used in scans to help determine if a person has cancer. He has done that job for the last two years. Prior to that he delivered cancer medicine for Walgreens throughout the State. The areas where the most chemicals are used (where they are applied to fields and seep into drinking water) are areas where he delivers the most injectable Due]= medicine and the most cancer drugs to. In areas where there are higher concentrations of use of chemicals there are higher concentrations of cancer and tumors. Although people cannot come with an answer of what to do this year, the City can have a goal of trying to improve the situation. With input from residents, members of Council and staff, and professionals it should be possible to come closer to reaching a suitable end. Councilmember Siakel asked Mr. Anderson if his company has organic options available. Mr. Anderson explained he has spoken with suppliers and has done some research himself. The suppliers do not have a great solution. Other than physically pulling the broadleaf weeds he is not sure what solution there is. For some types of broadleaf weeds there is a corn gluten product that can be spread on fields. It takes multiple years to be effective and it is only for seeds that come up each year. It is much more expensive and it takes a lot more time to see a result. It may not be a solution for the ROWS but it could be a solution for the parks. Sandy Ahlstrom 6085 Riviera Lane, explained she is a gardener for the University of Minnesota. The gardeners have been involved with the University's research on corn gluten, noting it is not a chemical. That research has been in process for several years. It started in the State of Iowa. The research was then brought to Minnesota. A professor at the University spoke to the University's master gardeners at length about the use of corn gluten. The use of corn gluten is intended to cut off the plant's ability to reproduce by basically smothering the plant so it cannot reseed itself She thought it would be worthwhile to research what it would cost for the City to use corn gluten as an alternative. If it were to cost more it still would be worthwhile to use it because it will not affect the water supply or cause cancer. She noted that she is not an expert on this topic but she has been to a lot of meetings and presentations on this topic. Councilmember Woodruff stated the Park Commission has initiated discussions about the use of herbicides. He asked Director Nielsen if that is correct. Director Nielsen explained resident Ms. Hauser and the Humming for Bees group she is part of had made the same presentation she had made to City Council to the Park Commission about bees. The Commission has asked for a list of chemicals that are used in the City's parks. The Commission would like to make areas in the parks more bee friendly. Woodruff clarified that is a pesticide issue. Woodruff suggested bringing the discussions together so there are not a number of different organizations discussing this at the same time and possibly at cross purposes. He stated he agrees with reevaluating if the City needs to use chemicals at all or treat as many areas as it is currently treating. Mayor Zerby stated the city has to deal with noxious weeds per state statute. Woodruff stated he would lice to learn more about that requirement. Woodruff stated out on the islands where he lives the City had for a while been spraying the roadsides which are next to Lake Minnetonka. And the City mows those areas. He asked if there is a mechanical CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES June 23, 2014 Page 6 of 9 solution to control the noxious weeds that would yield a satisfactory result. He stated that should be discussed. He commented he is not sure if the Park Commission is the right group to deal with that because it does not deal with roadsides. But, its responsibilities could be expanded to include roadsides. Councilmember Siakel suggested doing an inventory of what chemicals are used in the City, where they are used and the frequency of use. She noted a resident has requested the City ask for that information from the owners of the Minnetonka Country Club. She stated she thought the City could act quickly on options. She questioned if environmental issues could be added to the Park Commission's responsibilities. She stated if there is something the City can do that is less toxic to the environment for a minimal increase in cost she supports doing that. She noted people need to know what the options are. Mayor Zerby stated he is trying to reduce the amount of chemicals in his diet as well as his salt intake. He would like the same for the City's roadsides. He suggested Council direct staff to research alternatives that would still meet the State's requirements for addressing noxious weeds and to look at the cost of the alternatives He stated he thought Council and some residents would like less use of chemicals or at least less intense chemicals. He noted that manually removing broadleaf weeds would be cost prohibitive. Councilmember Siakel stated that if the City does not address noxious weeds there will be even more residents complaining that is not being done. There needs to be a balance. Councilmember Woodruff stated Council can discuss what the City does but controlling what residents do is something totally different. He noted that he is reluctant to have the City try and legislate what residents do. Mayor Zerby clarified that is not part of what is being discussed. Woodruff stated in some of the information provided to Council there is some reference to residential use. That concerns him because Council and staff are not experts; something Councilmember Siakel spoke of. And, because there is a lot of conflicting information out there. He questioned if there is an actual truth known; he does not think there is in some cases. He stated the City has limited ability to manage things outside of City - owned property and enforcement would. be almost impossible. He suggested Council focus on something that will have an impact. Mayor Zerby reiterated his suggestion to direct staff to research alternatives and their associated costs for roadside applications and applications in the City -owned parks and to provide that information to Council for discussion. He noted he wants that done before a formal committee is considered. Councilmember Woodruff reiterated Councilmember Siakel's suggestion for staff to conduct an. inventory of what the City is currently doing and Mayor Zerby's suggestion to identify alternatives. He stated the impact on park users have to be taken into consideration. Councilmember Sundberg stated she is okay with the doing the actions steps that have been suggested. She then stated to her it seems like things are being done piecemeal. She went on to state that Edina has a lot more resources than Shorewood has and it made things way more complex than it needs to be. Edina has identified some very concrete guidelines for itself. She noted that she thought the City could be a wonderful example for best practices and serve as an education vehicle for its residents. Mayor Zerby stated he thought the City could do that but it will require outside resources to help lead workshops and discussions. Councilmember Sundberg stated from her vantage point the environment and energy issues are comingled. She noted she is not in support of giving the Park Commission an environmental mission and the Planning Commission an energy mission. She suggested Council define a vision with some specific CITY OIL SHORE, WOOD WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES .Tune 23, 2014 Page 7 of 9 principles for the City to act upon. There also needs to be a system to track, report and monitor what staff is doing. A system that is better than the current one for things. B. Discussion on Bee Safe Resolution Mayor Zerby noted the meeting packet contains a copy of a Bee -Safe City Resolution. Patricia Hauser, 5805 Minnetonka Drive, provided a revised copy of the Resolution. She highlighted the changes to the Resolution under: "THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Council of Shorewood Minnesota adopt this resolution to become a Bee -Safe City by agreeing to: 1. Turn public spaces into Bee -Safe areas in which all future city plantings: flowers, vegetables, fruits; shrubs and trees, are free of systemic pesticides, including neonicotinoids. 2. Plant pesticide -free flowers. 3. No Spraying of the Bee Food (not on it, not near it) since systemic pesticides can retain in the soil for months or even years and are un- avoidable for bees and other foraging insects, the City of Shorewood will. refrain from using systemic pesticides on Shorewood City property including any from the neonicotinoid family of pesticides. 4. Educate All Citizens of Shorewood About Bees: their gifts and needs. 5. Begin this spring to implement this resolution. 6. Publish a "Bee -Safe City Progress Report" each spring." She noted the City has already begun implementing the resolution. She explained that the January — March City newsletters included something about bees and pollinators. The Shorewood Council wrote State Senator David Osmek and House Representative Cindy Pugh asking them to support a bee friendly initiative at the State level. Council also gave Humming for Bees the authority to contact the City's volunteers gardeners encouraging them to use their stipend to buy neonicotinoid free plants. Ms. Hauser asked Council if it had any questions. Mayor Zerby asked if any members of staff have any concerns about the proposed Resolution. Councilmember Siakel asked if the publications in the newsletter satisfy the requirement to educate Shorewood residents about bees. Ms. Hauser stated that is a good start and she encouraged more be done. Ms. Hauser noted that Humming for Bees would be glad to help with the education effort. Humming for Bees could make videos available to residents. She explained there is information that compares hornets to bees for people who are concerned about being stung. Hornets are the culprits; not the black and yellow bees. Humming for Bees could provide access to numerous reports. She stated there is a person she has contact with that she is sure would be willing to work with Director Brown and Director Nielsen about pesticides; that person is very knowledgeable about pesticides. There is also the free program through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency that Ms. Mulhem referred to. Director Brown stated the Resolution has good merits. But, he does not think staff has had time to research what its impact would be on the City -owned parks. Although the goal to have bee friendly plants is good staff does not know what the cost to achieve that will be. Staff needs to be able to advise Council on the cost and impacts of some of what is being required. Ms. Hauser clarified Humming for Bees is talking about what to do going forward. It is not asking the City to replace any plantings. The Resolution talks about systemic, neonicotinoid pesticides; bee killing CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES June 23, 2014 Page 8 of 9 pesticides. She explained if they don't kill leafly immediately they kill sub - leafly because the bee can't Find its way back home. It only has 24 hours to get back to the hive. The previous week there was another mass spraying of linden trees in Eugene, Oregon, causing thousands of bees to die. The spraying company lost its license because of that. She noted that Humming for Bees made its presentation to Council four months ago come tomorrow. She also noted that bees cannot wait. Councilmember Woodruff stated that other than what the volunteer gardeners plant he asked if the City plants anything on a regular basis. Director Brown responded no to regularly. However, there are plants that go in along with rain gardens. There will be plantings for the Apple Road Creek stabilization project. Woodruff asked if the City is using pesticides on a regular basis. Brown responded no. Director Nielsen stated the City does not know what the Mosquito Control District is putting down.. Ms. Hauser explained that is done through the State Department of Agriculture. People understand that the City does not have control over that. It is her understanding based on what she has read that the best thing to do is to put a tablet down that kills the larva. Councilmember Woodruff stated Mosquito Control dispenses a couple of different versions of some biologic material that keeps the larva from maturing into adult mosquitos. Based on what he has read there has been a great deal of testing done on those materials and there are no impacts on anything except mosquito larva. Nielsen explained that the reason he brought that up is several years ago there was a group that wanted the City to ask Mosquito Control not to dispense in Shorewood. Woodruff stated that would not be a wise thing to do now. Mayor Zerby noted that it is his understanding that the mosquito is the most dangerous animal on earth. Mosquitos have indirectly killed millions of people. Councilmember Sundberg stated that she thought the revised Resolution is fine. It is a very specific initiative the City can implement. She noted that it is Council's and staff's responsibility to understand the financial implications of any initiative being considered. She asked Ms. Hauser what her reaction is to the City considering each of the six items in the Resolution on a case by case basis based on the financial implications to the City and the benefits to the City. Ms. Hauser stated in addition to planting pesticide free flowers Humming for Bees would like the City to find places to plant where there are spaces for bees. She noted that she knows people who have organic gardens and native plants. Native plants are mainly pesticide free and therefore neonicotinoid free. People have those available for the City if it wants them. That would reduce the cost to the City. Humming for Bees is willing to buy the seeds for clover, plant it and water it for the first couple of months for the four islands near City Hall if the City would be willing to remove the grass. Once the clover is established it would hope it would water the areas like it does other areas. She noted that clover is wonderful bee food in isolated spots. Mayor Zerby noted that he would be in favor of that and explained that has to be brought forward as a proposal. He asked staff to bring that forward so Council can take action on it. Mayor Zerby noted that he thinks the Resolution is good. He intends to ask to add it to the meeting agenda for Council's regular meeting following this work session. He stated he does not think the financial impacts would be extreme. He noted that no resolution is ever cast in stone. It can be modified at a later date. Zerby thanked Ms. Hauser and Humming for Bees for bringing this item forward. C. Alternate Energy Sources Mayor Zerby noted there is only three minutes left to discuss this item. It will have to be placed on another agenda. CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES .Tune 23, 2014 Page 9 of 9 Councilmember Sundberg stated she has not received a staff memorandum on this item for alternative energy sources. Mayor Zerby stated is appears staff is not ready to discuss this item. Councilmember Sundberg stated she wants deadlines set for things so staff has a clear understanding of when Council is expecting to discuss things. Things always seem to get pushed out. She noted Council asked staff to draft a simple request for proposal (RFP) for alternative energy a number of months ago. She asked for a deadline to be set for Item 23 and for the RFP. Director Nielsen stated he thought there was a report ready for alternative energy sources. Administrator Joynes stated staff met with an individual that WSB & Associates had suggested to go over the elements of an RFP. That individual was very knowledgeable about options that are practical for cities the size of Shorewood. This evening staff wanted to ask Council about scheduling a time for that person to talk to Council. Some of the things previously mentioned are possibilities and others are not. Staff wanted to limit the scope of the RFP to what is reasonable. Staff wanted Council to sign off on the limited scope of the RFP. Councilmember Sundberg stated the purpose of the RFP was to solicit external input. Administrator Joynes stated he agrees with that. Still staff wants Council to provide input into the scope of the RFP. Councilmember Sundberg stated she had already provided some guidance. Mayor Zerby suggested scheduling the person for July 14. Hopefully staff will have a timeline by then. 3. ADJOURN Woodruff moved, Siakel seconded, Adjourning the City Council. Work Session of .Dane 23, 2014, at 7:02 P.M. Motion passed 410.
