Mr. Schinzel stated that there is only one home on the lake that has legal footage to shoot on the lake in terms of hunting. He stated that the neighbors asked him 20 years ago to quit shooting, so he did. He stated that this neighbor has been out every day shooting. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the attempt would be to educate people on the existing regulations. Captain Frankfurth stated that there is an Officer in charge of the hunting permits in the City and he could speak with the resident to provide an update and let him know if there was a permit issued for residents in that area. Councilmember Riley stated that there are currently laws and rules in place to guide this type of use and he is not interested in the City doing anything additional other than this educational effort. Councilmember LeTourneau echoed those comments noting that this is complex because of the three jurisdictions and the DNR involvement. He appreciated the comments and concern of the resident and hoped that staff would be able to publicize this educational effort to help ease the concerns of the resident. Motion by Councilmember LeTourneau, seconded by Councilmember Williams, to direct Staff to prepare an Educational Fact Sheet for Rogers Lake as discussed. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers LeTourneau, Williams, Kuzma, and Riley. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmembers Johns and Shryock. 7.03: Demolition of Former Municipal Center Campus Asst. City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama reviewed the staff report and recommendation from Hakanson Anderson that any and all bids opened on September 21, 2016, be rejected and furthermore the specifications for the project should be revised and that the project be rebid at a future date with an updated schedule. He stated that staff could support either option, to award the contract to the lowest bidder or to reject the bids and re -bid. Councilmember Riley stated that staff noted that four of the bidders were given incorrect information and asked if those were the higher bidders. Asst. City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama replied that at least one or two of the contractors that were in the range of $150,000 to $200,000 were given incorrect information. Mayor Strommen stated that there is the risk in the re -bid that the bid could come in higher but did not want to see the City gain a bad reputation. She stated that it was a member of staff that gave misinformation to multiple bidders and was willing to risk receiving a higher bid in order for the City to correct the issue. She believed the integrity of the process is important. City Council / October 11, 2016 Page 7 of 10
