OPEN SESSION;
AB 17-255 Request Approval of a Letter supporting maintaining the 300 foot wake zone in
response to an Ordinance being considered by Valley County Commissioners
to change the wake zone
Interim City Manager BessieJo Wagner presented the request of a letter response to the Valley
County Commissioners regarding the wake zone. Valley County is holding a public hearing
scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on November 20, 2017 on the draft ordinance. If adopted, this ordinance
would replace 2008 ordinance which eliminates some elements outlined in the draft letter. The
new ordinance does not change the current 300' No Wake Zone. Staff talked about the changes to
the ordinance with Sgt. Jason Speer of the Valley County Sheriffs Office. The Sheriff's Office is
interested in having one ordinance for all the water bodies in Valley County and concerned about
the lack of resources to enforce the 2008 ordinance.
The Council discussed the current ordinance, age limits, and had huge concerns about the fact the
County had not contacted the City regarding this issue. The Council directed staff to craft a letter
to Valley County to please defer their decision until they meet with the City Council and to work
with the Council President to finalize the letter.
Council Member Witte moved to authorize staff to work with the Council President to
finalize a letter to the Valley County Commissioners requesting they post pone their adoption
of the new lake ordinance and authorize the Council President to sign the letter. Mayor
Aymon seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Witte, Mayor Aymon,
Council Member Giles, Council Member Holmes, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye
and the motion carried.
