in the City fleet's greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 and to track fuel use and miles per gallon biannually.

policy, right sizing of equipment,accurate usage tracking and other behavior changes such as teleconferencing
that would reduce emissions.

to encourage the community to consider their daily travel habits. Ms. Rahman replied contributions would
vary by department and included communication and being conscious about car idling when appropriate.

additional on-street parking was not needed at this time but if so in the future, another survey would be
conducted. The Council complimented staff on their work.

IX. AVIATION NOISE UPDATE —Received
X. MAYOR AND COUNCIL COMMENTS— Received
XI. MANAGER'S COMMENTS — Received
XI.A. LAKE CORNELIA SHORELINE—DISCUSSED
Mr. Neal recounted the Planning Commission's and City Council's past consideration of the request by Liz
and Tony Burger, 6629 West Shore Drive, for variances for a second floor at their home with the condition
that all improvements be contained on the Burger's property with the exception of some grading activity on
park property. However,a stone retaining wall was constructed partially on park proper. Mr. Neal reviewed
staffs interactions with the Burgers to remove the stone retaining wall which included several deadlines,
that final notice to remove the wall had been sent, and unless Council directed otherwise staff would initiate
final enforcement action.
The Council commented on water quality issues and filtration systems regardless of ownership and
considered whether the land should be sold to adjacent property owners and controlled through a
conservation easement. The Council commented on the amount of buckthorn and agreed if neighbors
wanted to assist in its removal, they should be allowed to do so.
Mr. Neal recommended against selling the property because of the potential for increased water quality
issues and setting a precedent that allowed private use of public property. Mr. Millner noted discussion
would occur at the next Council meeting regarding clean water strategies for Lake Cornelia.
The Council consensus was to direct staff to initiate enforcement to remove the stone retaining wall on the
City's parcel.
