Police Chief Way indicated numbers will be determined through an analysis of other cities and who will be on staff at the event. The Police Department has billed for this service in the past. Councilmember Jeffrey clarified with Police Chief Way that this discussion only relates to special events, not for every day routine business. Councilmember Elvig asked whether a proposal from staff regarding security at special events will be presented to the Council for approval. Police Chief Way responded in the affirmative. He indicated if the application from Diamonds is approved in two weeks, staff will work with Mr. Gruber regarding the staff that will be on hand and the appropriate number of officers for the event. He asked whether the time requirement to end music at special events should be incorporated into an ordinance. Individuals that want to request a different time would need to present the request to the Council. Consensus of the Council was to direct staff to draft an ordinance including the timeframe for music allowed in special events. Case #8: Adopt Five-Year Strategic Goals Councilmember Elvig stated this Five Year Plan was well thought out and deliberated and voted on unanimously by the Council. Residents should be aware the Plan is available, and is an important document that has been well debated. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to adopt the 2007 Five- Year Strategic Goals. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Elvig, Jeffrey, Dehen, Look, Olson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT Mayor Gamec stated plowing was difficult with the last snow storm. The crews did an excellent job as far as getting the streets opened up. There could be problems with the build-up of snow. They looked at some of the areas today where driveways were filled in in the urban areas. Public Works Supervisor Grant Reimer and the crew are looking at possible problems if there is another heavy snowfall and keeping the snow from pushing up into the driveway areas in some of the cul-de-sacs. He requested parents tell their children not to stand and see how much snow comes off the plow; it is a dangerous situation. Councilmember Jeffrey noted he spoke with some residents about sidewalks. It appears that some of the sidewalks are getting plowed before the streets, and the snow plowed from the streets is being pushed back onto the sidewalks. City Council / February 27, 2007 .
