MEDINA CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF OCTOBER 3, 2000
The City Council of Medina, Minnesota, met in regular session on October 3, 2000, at 7:30 p.m.
in the City Hall Chambers. Mayor John Ferris presided.
Members present: Ferris, Zietlow, Lane, Johnson, and Smith.
Members absent: None.
Also present: Police Chief Ed Belland, Attorney Ron Batty, Public Works Director Jim Dillman,
City Engineer Tom Kellogg, Planning & Zoning Administrator Loren Kohnen, and Administrator -
Clerk -Treasurer Paul Robinson.
John Ferris said he wanted to speak before the meeting got started regarding the running of
meetings. He said he looked over the past year's meetings and there have been a number of
long meetings where the discussion has gotten redundant and circuitous. He said when he first
came to Minnesota he had a fairly confrontational style and has learned to adapt to a more
tolerant style that worked more with the style of Minnesota. He has, however, gotton a little bit
lax and would like everybody's help in order to get meetings done by 10:00 or 10:30 p.m.
Ferris said others have brought to his attention that several times in the past few months
discussion at these meetings has drifted from the agenda and has become redundant and
repetitive to the extent that it has not been helpful to our process and purpose and has resulted
in unnecessarily lengthening the meetings. He agreed that this, in fact, happened. He said it
was partially caused by his my willingness to allow comment from the floor while the meeting is
not officially an open meeting. While he does not intend to change this, he does intend to
shorten discussions by keeping the agenda directed and not allowing them to drag on well after
the point has been made. He asked that the Council please bear with him and cooperate in his
effort not to allow this to happen in the future. If I see this happen, I intend to make people
aware of it and redirect the conversation so that we keep on track and don't waste time.
Ferris said this has not been a good reflection on him or the process. He said he has had some
issues in his personal life that have caused him to not be as directed and focused as he would
like. He said he would be able to overcome those.
1. Additions to the Agenda
A. Lake level of Mooney Lake.
B. Extension of the final plat for Whispering Pines.

4. Planning Commission Comments
Loren Kohnen said next week the Planning Commission will be working on the Urban
Commercial 1, or Business Park, Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan Implementation
Committee will be holding a public comment hour on the Urban Commercial ordinance.
Jim Lane said there was extensive discussion on the setback items at the Planning Commission
meeting. He was concerned about how hardship criteria were administered and how hardships
were determined. He said often hardships do not seem to have any real hardship and he was
confused about what the criteria would be in the ordinance and in the statute. He thought that it
would be worthwhile to determine what constitutes undue hardships to clarify findings of fact in
determining variances.
He thought administratively it would be good to set up a process where there would be a
checklist with identified criteria for hardships.
Loren Kohnen said that in part they are using the six steps that are outlined in the City's
ordinance. He said typically they are given to the applicant and the Planning Commission,
however, they had not been doing that recently and will start again.
Jim Lane said that an explanation would be very helpful to describe how a certain variance
request meets the six specified criteria.
Jim Johnson said, at the Council level, they have been very specific in identifying hardships
such as lot size, for issues in the Independence Beach area and for some in the Hamel area.
There was some discussion about the variance items that were coming up and how they may or
may not have stated hardships.
Jim Lane said that in addition to the criteria for a variance, the Planning Commission had
requested a history of the variances granted and the hardships determined for those variances
to help create some understanding of the precedents.
5. Variance for 3121 Lakeshore Avenue
Loren Kohnen said Mr. Anderson was granted a variance on June 1, 1999. However he was
unable to do the work and is now reapplying for the same variance as requested and approved
previously. The variance approved was a 38-foot variance to the lakeshore and a 3.6-foot
variance to the side yard. The hardships stated were: the existing deck and safety issues
caused by the condition of the current deck.
The hardships that were previously used were the size of the property, the topography of the
property, and the need to construct the deck for reasons of safety.
Loren Kohnen read the motion from the Planning Commission. He said they approved the
variance request, however, they did ask that the stairs go to the side of the house, but the deck
could remain in the same location.
Phil Zietlow said the odd shape and size of the lot have been used as hardships in the
Independence Beach area a number of times.
There was some discussion about redoing the ordinance for the Independence Beach area.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3, 2000
207
Phil Zietlow said they addressed that a number of years ago and decided not to make any
changes. He said at that time the Council decided it would like to have more control over the
placement of structures in the Beach area. If the ordinance remains, the same, issues are
taken on a case by case basis using hardship criteria and variances.
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Jim Johnson, to direct the City attorney to draft a
resolution approving the variance request with the hardships: the size of the property and
the topography of the property. Motion passed unanimously.
6. Variance Request to Rebuild a Deck/Porch - 2235 County Road 24
Loren Kohnen said the Strommens were requesting a rear yard setback variance of six feet to
replace an existing deck and porch. Loren said he recommended approval of this variance
request with the hardships being the porch and deck are existing and that there are safety
concerns for their condition.
Loren Kohnen said that the Planning Commission also recommended approval with those two
hardships.
Loren showed the property on an overhead and that the lot is fairly large, however, the house is
located in the very rear of the property.
Jim Lane pointed out that part of the discussion at the Planning Commission was that property
owners should not be able to create their own hardship, if a realtor said that it was okay and
misinformed the owners about the location of the property line, that is not the responsibility of
the City. He said when you purchase a property you need to abide by the local laws that govern
the property. If you have not done the appropriate title work, you buy at your own peril and take
that risk. This is a self inflicted risk that the property owner needs to determine when
purchasing property.
Phil Zietlow said this particular variance does not hurt anyone, the ordinance is set up to protect
problems where variance requests will actually impact negatively a neighbor or someone else.
Jim Lane asked if there was any previous precedence that dealt with the reconstruction of decks
or other portions of the property.
Phil Zietlow said that there are a number in the Independence Beach area, however, there are
not so many examples in the rural residential area.
Loren Kohnen said that if this were a new house and a new deck, there would be no way that
we would be even addressing this issue, however, this is an existing condition that at some
point long ago somebody missed. Today we require surveys whenever a deck is being built or
whenever a house is being built to eliminate these problems.
Carolyn Smith asked how old the house was.
Loren Kohnen said that it was built in the 1970's.
The builder of the deck said that there was no fence line and so they believed that the property
line ran along the row of trees in the rear of the property.
Carolyn Smith asked which part of the deck required a variance.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3, 2000
208
Harold Leonard described where the variance request was.
He said they actually approached the neighbors to buy an additional 20 feet, however, they did
not want to sell at this time.
Phil Zietlow asked about repair issues, what if the roof needed to be repaired? Do we treat that
the same as we do the deck and would they then have to apply for a variance.
Loren Kohnen said that a deck is considered a structure on its own. A roof is not considered a
separate structure and so you could replace a roof without having to bring you entire house into
compliance.
Carolyn Smith said a potential solution would be allowing the construction of stairs to a patio
instead of to a deck.
Harold Leonard said they would like to be able to build the deck the way it looked before it fell
into disrepair, they are just bringing it up to the current code.
There was some discussion about what the state statute said and what types of hardships are
stated and allowed according to the State statute and the City's ordinance.
Ron Batty said that there are lots of laws on variances. If you were to read the statutes and
ordinances strictly, there probably would be very few allowable variances. However, a lot of
latitude has been given to cities to interpret and provide for variances on a wider range of
rationale. What the City really needs to determine is what set of criteria it will want to use in
order to be consistent in applying standards in granting variances.
Batty said many cities develop working standards which are reasonable but are not overly
expansive and are practical in making determinations in how to grant variances.
Phil Zietlow asked if his garage, which was built in 1959, and is 10 feet from the rear, could be
rebuilt in its current location without a variance.
Ron Batty said technically the garage would have to be replaced 40 feet away from the lot line
without a variance or would require a variance to be 10 feet away.
Carolyn Smith wondered if we could add as an allowable hardship replacement of existing
structures.
There was some additional discussion.
Carolyn Smith said she wanted to make sure that we remember to develop some working
criteria by which to grant variances.
Jim Lane asked which came first, the house or the setback requirement.
There was some discussion and there was no clear answer as to whether or not the existing
ordinances that were written were in place at the time the house was built.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3, 2000
209
Moved by Jim Lane, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to direct the City attorney to draft a resolution
approving the variance request, with the hardships: the placement of the existing house on the
lot and replacement of existing structure will reduce the impact of the former structure. Those in
favor: Lane, Zietlow, Ferris and Smith. Those opposed: Johnson. Motion passed.
Loren Kohnen asked if they could start construction before the resolution was adopted.
Ron Batty said that it may be okay, however, since he has not drafted the resolution and it has
not been approved, there is always the possibility that something could change between now
and then and that would be builder's risk. They would have to conform with whatever change
may happen.
The builder said that he would wait.
There were concerns raised by Council Members on granting building permits before the actual
resolution was adopted.
7. Deck Contruction at St. Anne's Church
Loren Kohnen said Father Patterson applied for a permit to build a deck. Kohnen said he
issued a stop work order on that deck once he realized that the permit was issued in an area
included in the moratorium. He said he was out of town at the time the permit was issued.
The permit was for a deck which would function in part as a walkway between two areas within
the priest's residence.
Father Patterson of St. Anne's Church said he had recently broken his foot and had the idea to
create this deck within this courtyard to help him move about his house. He applied for the
permit, the permit was granted. He realized that it was done in error, however, he would like to
be authorized to continue with the project. The footings have been put in and inspected and
there is a fairly large mess in the courtyard. He asked the Council to allow the church to
continue to build this deck.
Loren Kohnen said there were no setback issues related to this particular permit.
Loren Kohnen said this property was included in the moratorium. He said simply issuing a
building permit will not be possible. This particular request will require modification to the
Church's conditional use permit, since it is a structural change.
Carolyn Smith said she was concerned about allowing this permit to go forward. There have
been a number of requests for permits in the Uptown Hamel area and it did not seem fair to
allow this particular project to proceed where we have not allowed others.
Jim Johnson said that since this project had already been started he thought the City ought to
allow this project to proceed. He said we were the ones that issued the permit.
Kohnen said a conditional use permit will be required since this is an expansion of their use.
There was some discussion about whether or not it would be worthwhile to allow them to
proceed since this particular issue may not impact very many people.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3, 2000

Jim Lane was concerned about the precedent that would set and believed the moratorium ought
to be honored.
Dave Raskob, the builder of the deck, said that he got a permit with no indication that they could
not build it. They bought all the supplies for it. They put in the footings and had the footings
inspected. He believed at this point, the City has allowed it to proceed to such a point that the
City should allow it to go forward.
Carolyn Smith said that she was sorry but that does not necessarily mean that they should go
forward.
Loren Kohnen said that in the building code there are ways for stop orders to be issued. If
permits were given in error, it does not necessarily mean that it should be allowed to be built.
Jim Lane said that there were three issues here. There is a hardship which requires a variance,
there is a building permit which should not have been issued because of a mistake on the City's
part, and the need for a conditional use permit. The only issue here that we can address is the
issue of the building permit.
Carolyn Smith said the City should help to clean up the courtyard and refund the cost of the
permit.
Loren Kohnen said that we would refund the cost of the permit.
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Jim Lane, to deny the request to lift the stop work order
on the building permit. Those in favor: Ferris, Smith, and Lane. Those opposed: Zietlow and
Johnson. Motion passed.
8. Interim Ordinance #322 Extending the Moratorium Until April 3, 2001
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Jim Lane, to approve Ordinance #322 extending the
moratorium. Motion passed unanimously.
9. Resolution 00-47 Approval to Publish the Ordinance by Title and Summary
Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to approve Resolution 00-47 authorizing
publication of Ordinance #322 by title and summary. Motion passed unanimously.
10. Comprehensive Plan Implementation Issues
Paul Robinson outlined a number of issues that needed to be done before the Comprehensive
Plan could be implemented. He said some absolutely have to be done and some are
recommended.
He said the first list includes changes needed to be made to the zoning map. These are
informational, but declares more specifically, the areas that will need to be changed.
The next section addresses the changes that need to be done to the zoning ordinance. He said
the first issue was increasing the buffer area between residential and commercial districts. He
said to date the Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee has only addressed the
burden to be placed on the commercial districts. However, this needs to be addressed in the
residential districts as well the rural commercial district. He said he wanted Council direction to
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3, 2000
211
bring this to the Planning Commission and have them recommend appropriate buffers for the
residential/commercial districts.
The consensus of the Council was to bring this to the Planning Commission.
The next item was to create a rural residential urban reserve district. Robinson said that this
could be done one of two ways. A separate ordinance could be created or the current rural
residential ordinance could be modified. Robinson talked about the different issues that would
have to be integrated into the ordinance. The main issues was the inclusion of a 40-acre lot
minimum unless ghost platting or clustering was used.
There was some discussion about allowing clustering. If possible, this should be included
without spending a great deal of time drafting a comprehensive ordinance to regulate it, but to
somehow allow it within certain fairly restrictive parameters.
Loren Kohnen mentioned a number of concerns about modifying the ordinance to allow
clustering. He said ordinances he has been involved with that allow clustering have involved a
lot of time and effort to develop. He was also concerned that it will push a lot of additional
development. He said developers can purchase the property, cluster the homes on one portion
of it, get their money out of the property, and then hold on to it for a number of years.
Carolyn Smith thought it might be nice to have the flexibility to allow people to cluster the
homes. She said the ultimate density of the homes is not going to be any different if they are
clustered in one corner or placed wherever on a piece of property. The City is allowing the
same number of lots in either instance.
Phil Zietlow mentioned concerns with the shared septic systems. He said how this is done on a
clustered lot needs to be well defined so that there are no septic problems down the road that
would require sewer service.
The consensus was to have the Planning Commission recommend appropriate action on
whether or not to create a separate ordinance or incorporate it into the rural residential and to
direct staff or the appropriate person to draft the required provisions.
The next item was to decide if the business park zoning district should be modified to allow the
temporary use of the mound systems in areas where sewer service would not be immediately
practical.
Robinson said there were differing opinions on staff about this issue. He said Glenn Cook
believed that it would be better to go ahead and provide sanitary sewer service.
The consensus of the Council was to not have staff move forward with trying to integrate a
provision allowing mound systems. Several reasons were discussed. One, it does not seem
practical that a mound system for a commercial business would be cost effective. The second
was that the City just provided lateral service to a number of businesses that had failing mound
systems, why create more opportunities for that to happen in the future.
Robinson said another remaining issue was to make sure that there is consistency between the
Comprehensive Plan and the City's ordinances.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3, 2000
212
Robinson said there were two main issues here. One is consistency between the ordinances
and the Comprehensive Plan and the second is the internal consistency within the zoning
ordinance.
Robinson gave some examples of problems with consistency. He said that he received a bid
from Bill Thibault to do a number of these items if the Council so desires. To mark up the
ordinances for inconsistency, Thibault bid $2,100. However, if the City Council wanted him to
move forward and to actually make all the changes, he estimated this would cost between
$11,000-$15,000. At this time, Robinson asked how the Council would like him to proceed.
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to authorize $2,100 for Bill Thibault to work
on determining the inconsistencies. Motion passed unanimously.
Robinson said another recommendation was to create a comprehensive checklist for reviewing
any type of zoning and land use application.
Bill Thibault gave a bid of $4,000 to create this.
The Council wanted to wait before authorizing Bill to move forward with this issue, however,
they believed a checklist was very important.
Jim Lane wanted to make sure that the City staff and the consultant were not duplicating efforts.
He said they should look into what other cities have provided or created.
Robinson said that they could do that.
Next item was to prepare for the potential impacts of the new zoning districts.
Robinson said this was informational for now. However, there will more than likely be some
nonconforming uses created by the new ordinances. He said the City will need to be ready to
deal with those issues or at least to address them.
Ron Batty said that he was also concerned about creating nonconforming uses. He said the
City will definitely need to make sure they are aware of what types of non -conformities they are
creating whether it be the use itself or the standards.
Robinson said completion of the lighting ordinance was the next issue. He said Pat Hunt
promised a draft by the next Council meeting.
This item was concerned the completion of the Uptown Hamel ordinance. Robinson said the
Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee should be starting with this soon and will
hopefully complete this before the moratorium is over.
The next issue was to determine what zone parks should be placed in. Robinson said right now
the zoning map lists parks as Park, however, there is no Park zoning district. He said either a
district like rural residential needs to be designated on the map and keep parks as an allowable
use or create a separate park zone. Some addition concerns were discussed.
Next was limiting towers to commercial zones and public property. Currently, the Council has
limited towers to the commercial zones in the City and to public property. Robinson said the
City needs to make sure towers are allowed in the two new commercial districts.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3, 2000
213
Robinson said currently, towers are required to be set back 200 feet from any residentially
zoned property. This was to be dealt with by the Planning Commission.
Robinson said there are some issues regarding the protection of the City's natural resources.
He said this may not be as necessary to have done as soon as possible, however, he wanted to
know what the City's interest was in doing this. Recently, the natural resources inventory was
completed and there are areas in the City that may contain significant woodlands or wetlands.
He wanted to know if the City wanted staff to start working on ways of implementing this survey
into the ordinances to protect certain areas.
Robinson said on a number of occasions, he has heard Council Members say that filling in of
wetlands is not allowed, in the City of Medina. Robinson said that is not entirely true. He said it
is allowed if replaced. The City Council may want to consider areas where there are significant
wetlands and prohibit those from being filled in under any circumstance. The consensus of the
Council was that this was an important issue and that staff should work on it, however, it may
have to be done after the implementation of the plan.
Robinson said the Council may want to consider changing setbacks and other provisions in the
urban residential district for the Independence Beach area. There was some discussion on this.
At this time it was not considered vital, however, it could be considered at some time.
Robinson said there were some other issues concerning the flexible MUSA area. He asked if
the Council wanted to rezone the entire UC1 area immediately to Business Park or have staff
create some type of interim zoning district that would provide more steps in the approval
process. Robinson said staff had differing opinions about how to proceed.
He said there could be some advantages to requiring each property to be rezoned before
development could occur. He said rezoning would give the City Council more control.
However, it also requires more administrative time. If the City Council would like to be less
involved, then it would be better to rezone the entire district to Business Park.
At this time, the consensus of the Council was to proceed with rezoning the entire property to
Business Park.
The next item was first come first serve. Robinson said a process needs to be determined on
how this is going to work. Sometimes it may be when the preliminary plat is approved or if there
is no plat, then approval of a CUP. If there is no CUP, then it is determined when a building
permit is issued.
There may be other exceptions. There was some discussion on this. The Council agreed that
this basic process is what they would like to follow but would like it spelled out more clearly.
Robinson said a complete draft of the Comprehensive Plan need to be done. He said a number
of changes have been made over the past few months, most recently with the adoption of the
plan several weeks ago, and these have to be incorporated into the document. Robinson said
he plans to have this done by the end of the year in conjunction with approval of the urban
commercial and urban commercial ordinances.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3, 2000
214
The last issue relates to maps. He said there have been some changes to the maps which
need to be incorporated and he needs to notify the folks around the lakes where the Council has
considered changing the lake names.
Another issue is inconsistency with other controls. Robinson said that right now there is no
formal plan as to how we are going to do this, however, stormwater management and other
fiscal controls need to relate to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Robinson said he added "clean slate approach" to the list. Robinson said he felt that now would
be a good time for the City Council to act on zoning or land use issues only if there is a direct
basis to the City's ordinances. Robinson said that this is just an informational item.
The last item was review of the sewer and water assessment procedures and policies.
Robinson went through an example of how the trunk charges and lateral charges were
determined and calculated for the Mohawk project, to clarify and make sure that there was a
common understanding on the procedures.
11. Planning Commission Appointments
There were four applicants for the Planning Commission. Sharon Johnson, Richard Picard,
Randy Hopper, and Ronald Johnson.
John Ferris said we would just like to hear from the two candidates in attendance.
Randy Hopper said he has lived in the City for 25 years. He was on the State Planning
Commission for six years. He is an engineer and feels he could lend a lot to the Planning
Commission. He believed his experience could help create methods for resolving problems and
improving the City's planning processes.
The next candidate, Dick Picard, lives in the Dockside development on CR 19.
Picard said that he had been a resident of the City for nine years and has been active in
community organizations in the City, most notably the Lake Independence Citizens Association.
He said he was the current president of that organization and would like to continue to keep
Medina a nice place to live and to participate in the direction the City takes with planning and
zoning issues.
Phil Zietlow said the City Council has tried to incorporate representatives from many parts of the
City and that this time they need someone from the Independence Beach area. There was a
closed vote. Dick Picard was the candidate chosen.
John Ferris encouraged the other candidate to reapply since there will soon be one or two
additional openings in the next few months.
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to appoint Dick Picard to the Planning
Commission. Motion passed unanimously.
12. Mooney Lake
Loren Kohnen said he recently went to a meeting on Mooney Lake. He said there was a
problem with the rising lake level, however, in the last year the lake level had been dropping. He
said there was some talk about the rising lake level in previous years and how it could be
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3, 2000
215
resolved. He said one of the proposals would require an easement over Doug Dayton's
property. There was some concern about loss of trees and that was part of the reason the
process was initiated.
Kohnen said that he, in representing Medina, said Medina is very interested in participating in
how costs for this project would be allocated. Kohnen said he wanted it to be determined by the
amount of hardcover.
Kohnen said that there were 31 trees in jeopardy, however, most of those are Willow trees and
would not be a significant lost compared to more important type of trees.
Right now the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is doing some additional research on this
matter.
13. Approval for Park Fund Expenditures
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to approve the Park Fund expenditures of
around $7,000 for a trail along Hunter Drive. Motion passed unanimously.
14. Accept the Bid for the Holy Name Sewer Project
Tom Kellogg said that Design Excavating was the low bidder. He described the bid tabulation
sheet. He said that the low bid came in $60,000 under the engineer's estimate, however, since
they have never worked with this company before they are requesting the City Council table this
item until the next meeting so that they can check this contractor's references.
Moved by Jim Lane, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to table this item to the next meeting. Motion
passed unanimously.
15. Garbage Collection
There was some discussion about the garbage collection. This issue was postponed to a future
meeting.
16. Tax Increment Financing Update
Ron Batty said he looked into the TIF finances. He said unfortunately the money is not as
flexible as was initially believed. He said there is around $500,000 available in tax increment
financing, however, what projects this can be allocated to still needs to be determined. He had
hoped that when he looked into the plans he would find broader categories allowing for a more
broadly defined expenditures. However, because of the way it is listed, the expenditures were
very specific and so he is suggesting that a meeting be set up between Paul Robinson, Shelly
Eldridge of Ehlers & Assoc., and himself to work out this issue and come back to the City
Council in a month or so.
17. Approval of the E-Z-Recycling Contract
Paul Robinson said when E-Z-Recycling's contract was last negotiated it was supposed to be a
three-year contract. By accident, the contract was set to expire at the end of this year instead of
2001. This was a mistake on our recycling coordinator's behalf. Nobody caught it, however,
they are willing to extend the contract for one year at the same cost.
Moved by Phil Zietlow, seconded by Jim Lane, to approve extending the contract for one year.
Motion passed unanimously.

18. Motion Extending the Filing Date for Whispering Pines
Moved by Smith, seconded by Zietlow, to extend the filing deadline for Whispering Pines until
October 20, 2000. Motion passed unanimously.
19. Approval of a Snowmobile Grant Resolution
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to adopt Resolution 00-48 authorizing
execution of a grant agreement for snowmobile enforcement. Motion passed unanimously.
20. Pay the Bills
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to approve the bills, order check numbers
21531-21569 for $39,631.51 and payroll check numbers 16747-16757 for $16,501.01. Motion
passed unanimously.
20. Executive Session
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to close the meeting and go into executive
session for attorney/client privilege to discuss pending litigation involving Holiday Station
lighting. Motion passed unanimously.
Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to reconvene the open session. Motion
passed unanimously.
21.Adjournment
Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by John Ferris, to adjourn the meeting at 11:05 p.m. Motion
passed unanimously.
