Brian Nordskog, 14580 Bowers Drive, came forward and challenged the Council to spend some time on this road. He shared he moved onto this road after the last survey was done. He noted they see lots of people always walking on the road and the people who are walking are careful because they live on the road and know the road. He shared concerns with residents from other neighborhoods having access to this road more easily. Mr. Johnston asked if he needs to go do another survey on his own to show that the residents on Bowers Drive do not want this connection. He said the last way this survey was done was that if someone did not respond to the survey then that vote would count as an in favor vote. City Administrator Hagen reiterated that the final decision on this will be left up to the Council and Staff is only collecting the information from this survey. Councilmember Woestehoff said they are just trying to ask the residents questions to get some feedback on this decision. He explained that when they do not ask for feedback from the residents the Council gets yelled at and now they are asking for feedback and still getting yelled at. He noted the Council seems to be on the same page that this may not be a good idea. Councilmember Howell said she did not feel as though the resident was yelling at the Council but was rather just expressing his frustration with a situation that residents have already provided feedback on. Councilmember Specht agreed with Councilmember Howell. 4. APPROVE AGENDA Motion by Councilmember Howell, seconded by Councilmember Olson,to approve the agenda as presented.
