Mr. Boos replied that the neighborhood was not in favor of lights. <br /> <br />Planning Commissioner Jensen wondered if it's time to re-evaluate the industrial area. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated we do not have too much industrial area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen agreed that we need a certain amount of industry to have a healthy <br />tax base. That again, is a part of planning. We are going through what every growing city goes <br />through. She added that she could get a lot of people together to complain about not having <br />enough hockey area, ball fields, etc., but when they are given the "bill", they disappear. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commissioner Droegemueller expressed frustration at that. He understood <br />but felt that we have to be more progressive and maybe the new Council would be. <br /> <br />Planning Commissioner Thorud mentioned fund raisers. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec felt that any money raised would be appreciated.

She asked about having a committee of the City Council, the <br />Planning Commission, the Park and Recreation Commission and staff working together on this. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec commented that a lot of the plan is pretty well done. We will have a public hearing <br />or two. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen questioned when staff anticipated that City Council would be looking <br />at the comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder responded that it depends on this latest draft. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen asked if there is time to really review it to which Mr. Schroeder <br />replied yes. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commissioner Droegemueller talked about park districts and felt that they <br />should be reviewed.
