Following the March 14, 2000 City Council meeting, the above Commissions conducted a joint meeting for purposes of refining the Ordinance submitted for Council consideration. Subsequent to the joint meeting, a "Sidewalk Ordinance Committee" met twice to further refine the Ordinance. The proposed ordinance was approved by the committee for Park and Recreation consideration. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council introduce the sidewalk ordinance for adoption with the following change: · In the ordinance, replace the text of the second sentence under Section 2 Amendment, #11 Sidewalks, as follows: Sidewalks may be required on cul-de-sacs. Parks/Utilities Supervisor also noted that the Planning Commission directed staff to research City Code for penalties that may already exist for not removing snow from sidewalks, since the language could conflict with the outcome of the sidewalk ordinance. The Planning Commission also discussed formulating a recommendation to City Council regarding snow removal from sidewalks, but they could not come to a consensus. The Park Commission discussed whether or not maintenance of the sidewalks should be outlined in the sidewalk ordinance, and the consensus of the Commission was that maintenance of the sidewalks was not related to the ordinance. Motion by Commissioner Ostrum, seconded by Commissioner Rolfe, to recommend that City Council introduce the Sidewalk Ordinance for adoption as amended by the Planning Commission. Motion carried.
