Mayor Strommen stated City Engineer Westby will provide additional information on franchise fees tonight. She encouraged residents to attend and provide input at the Open House on October 1 and the public hearing on October 8. She stated it would be helpful to hear if there is a preferred method that would provide adequate resources, noting the issue is to repair roads and create funds on a reliable basis. John Enstrom, 8702 181' Avenue, stated his concern with issuing bow hunting permits to owners of two -acre lots, noting with bow hunting often times the deer travels onto someone else's property. He suggested the City follow State guidelines that require written permission from the property owner to permit hunting on their property, no hunting within 500 feet from structures, and that you must be the property owner. Mayor Strommen stated the City enforces its ordinances and the DNR enforces its game laws. She noted Police Chief Way is in attendance and has heard these concerns. Bob Barry, 9539 Highway 10, Optimum Appliance, asked if the City Council would be willing to consider a permit at tonight's meeting, noting it is for a good cause (suicide prevention) Mayor Strommen noted this same timing situation occurred last year when the City Council showed leniency but at that time it was indicated there is a process to be followed. She asked the City Council if it was willing to add this case. When polled, there was City Council consensus to follow the established policy and procedure. The permit for an outdoor concert was denied. All activities would be held inside. 4.
