Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Anders reported that the Public Works Committee unanimously recommended approval of the exclusion of four wheel drive vehicles from Riverview Park, and also recommended that work continue on finding an alternative location for four wheel activities. Arnold Deich, 516 Vermont, president of the local four wheel drive club, reported that he had not been notified of the two prior meetings where this was discussed. He has shown an interest all along but didn't see any public notice for the Riverview Committee meetings. He doesn't have any complaints as long as the city will work with the four wheelers to find an alternative. Deich spoke with Craig September 16, 1996 Page 3 Resolutions to be Adopted - continued Ritland recently and he suggested that an area off Hess Road may be available. This area has large dirt piles on it and would need to be bulldozed to make it accessible to four wheelers. Mayor Rooff asked Mr. Deich to meet with Anders and Ritland after the meeting to continue gathering information for the four wheel club. Mike Stabins, 1309 Country Meadows Dr, Waverly, commented that he has just moved to the area and he thinks it is great to have the city working on. a project like this. Funding was identified as a problem in the most recent Courier article about this project. He reported that the counties are collecting fees from all terrain vehicles which may be available for this type of use. He has one concern with the plan and it is the proximity to the river. Riding in the low sections along the river can be a problem in the spring if there is water and muddy areas. He would recommend that trails be developed on higher land. He suggested that mountain bike trails are also needed and scarce in Northeast Iowa. Carol Ennenga, 608 Powers, asked when the construction would be started. City Planner Don Temeyer reported that it probably wouldn't begin until next year. Following discussion a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Seven.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS 107446 - Roman Frackiewicz, 214 Leland Ave, presented a petition from residents asking that a berm be created along Washington for the residences in the two hundred block of Leland Avenue.

He doesn't feel the school district is acting responsible and shouldn't be rewarded for their misuse of funds. Shatzer suggests that twenty percent of the Local Option Sales tax funds be given to parochial and private schools to reward them for operating at a lower cost than the public schools. He asked the city to consider forwarding the local option sales tax funds to private and parochial schools to create a more equitable support for all schools in our city.
