Motion carried. Chair Hermsen called for a moment of silence for Ruetz. OLD AND NEW BUSINESS Reports Code Enforcement: Grabau provided a code enforcement report requested by the committee. The Sukowatey site has been cleaned up according to previous court orders. Staff hasn't received any further complaints. Staff recently noticed several vehicles again and will verify the vehicle registrations to be sure the owner is in compliance. Corporation Counsel has advised staff to be careful what we investigate and how often. Grabau also updated the committee on the Bettendorf site as well. Staff continues to work on the alleged non - metallic mining violation to bring the site into compliance. A reclamation plan and financial assurance have been submitted. No complaints have been received in the last couple years. The owner is claiming exemption from the ordinance as a preexisting use. Staff and Corporation Counsel are working through the aerial photographs and previous complaints to gather more evidence to consider any further action. County Parks Ordinance and Gun Restrictions: Heise reiterated to the committee that it is his understanding that staff needs to update the Parks Ordinance, so he has solicited ordinances from counties around the state. Of the 14 received, 5 to 6 are very recent and would be good to work with. This will take time to build and put together, but staff will work on it and keep the committee informed over the next few months. Wildwood Trail Property Encroachment: Heise reported that in early November, Daryl Standafer received a letter from the Village of Woodville to look at water issues adjacent to the Wildwood Trail. The Issue has existed for many years, but upon investigation, there is quite a bit of encroachment that has taken place from recent subdivisions. Brian Halling, the County Surveyor, has surveyed the lines and found quite a bit of encroachment from buildings, sheds, lawns, brush cutting and yards extended, along with a sump pump being the most obvious 1 encroachment. The next step is to sit down with Corporation Counsel and go through the process to figure out what to do and get letters sent to the owners. Meeting Schedule for Work Sessions: Fodroczi gave the committee a calendar of all room commitments and meetings to aid in narrowing down work session options. Shearer suggested the second Tuesday of the month. Norton -Bauman informed the committee that the Administration Committee would possibly be moving towards two meetings per month and suggested just to pick a day and the Administration Committee would work around it. The committee agreed to the second Tuesday of every month, from 4:00 -6:00 p.m. beginning in January, but only if needed based on the ordinance work accomplished at tonight's meeting. Staff will confirm. Action Items WCWRPC Contract — Farmland Preservation Plan: Fodroczi explained the grant agreement includes activities to be done by a consultant. The proposed agreement is based on wording from the Farmland Preservation Plan grant contract and is included in our 2011 budget. The Farmland Preservation Plan element of the County Comprehensive Plan is a separate work agreement from the Comprehensive Plan. Motion by Stauffer, 2 nd by Shearer to approve. Motion carried. Grabau and Lucht left the meeting at 6:45 p.m. Animal Waste Ordinance: Heise presented proposed revisions to the Animal Waste Ordinance from the Committee's previous work session on November 22, 2010, distributed to the committee prior to the meeting. The committee and staff reviewed the last few sections of the ordinance that deals with Administration and Enforcement, and definitions. Committee provided language amendments to the ordinance and staff tracked comments into the document. Recycling Ordinance: Denzer presented proposed revisions to the draft Recycling Ordinance from the Committee's previous work session on November 22, 2010 that were distributed prior to the meeting. The Committee agreed to give them additional review and consideration for the Committee work session on January 11, 2011. Chair Hermsen adjourned the meeting at 8:09 p.m. Respectfully submitted: Monica Lucht, Recording Secretary eh6es Stauffer, Wetary December 16, 2010 2
