This past summer's Fourth of July celebration was enjoyed by many, and was the loudest party of all of the Bicentennial galas. The Mayor hopes to get a "bang for his buck" by getting some donations from local companies that receive a "boom" in business during the celebration. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend approval of Resolution 2015-109. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Mark Mahoney, 26808 Fairfax Lane said he was at the Council meeting two weeks prior regarding the topic of animal/deer netting as opposed to fencing. He forgot to mention at the last meeting that the city's Ass't Building Commissioner, Dan Russell, could not give him adequate information that he was asking for. His neighbors that got cited went to City Hall the next day and Russell did not understand what they were asking for. He gave them a form for an appeal for the Board of Zoning Appeals which was not applicable, and he gave them the correct form for the Board of Building Code Appeals. Mahoney gave a timeline regarding his neighbors citation history since October 2015. He showed Council a picture of the deer netting that his neighbors were cited for. Today, his neighbors were asked by the Building Dept. to submit a drawing of the proposed fence. Councilman Limpert made a motion to extend Mahoney's speaking time by two minutes. The motion was seconded by Councilman Schumann and passed unanimously. Mahoney's speaking time extended by two minutes. Today, Mahoney's neighbors were told by the Building Dept. that the drawing they submitted was insufficient and that they have to apply for a variance and/or possibly a fee for the fence. Mahoney said his concern is that his neighbors are being treated unfairly because another resident on the same street calls the city constantly and gets preferential treatment from the Building Dept. Mahoney reminded Councilman Schumann that Schumann admitted at the last meeting that he uses chicken wire fencing. Mahoney asked that this issue be addressed in a timely manner so his neighbors don't have to suffer through this process any longer.
