AMENDMENT TO HONORARY STREET SIGN POLICY Assistant Administrator Martin reminded Council an Honorary Street Sign Program was adopted last November. The program is a means for family and friends to honor someone who has made a significant contribution to the community. To date there have been two honorary streets designated following the criteria approved by Council. Recently the City has received a request from Sandy Barcus seeking an honorary street designation in remembrance of her son, Collier, who served and was killed in Iraq in 2004. Assistant Administrator Martin noted while the request does not meet all of the criteria for honorary street sign designation, Staff believes this is a bona fide request. Ms. Barcus is seeking dedication of the comer of Green Street and John Street in Collier's memory. In order to accommodate Ms. Barcus's request, an amendment to the approval criteria for the Honorary Street Naming Policy must be granted. Assistant Administrator Martin noted the proposed change deletes the previous 4 h criteria (clearly proven relationship, by Plat of Subdivision, Plat of Dedication, Deed or other form of legal correlation of applicant to the street/area in question) and adds the following: Clearly defined community or public contribution made by the honoree. Assistant Administrator Martin stated the approval criteria would then read as follows: 1. Historical and/or cultural influence of the applicant on the City. 2. Proof of significant lineage to the City. 3. Clear geographical relationship of street to the area of interest of the applicant. 4. Known to be of good moral character. 5. Clearly defined community or public contribution made by the honoree. Alderman Condon opined the change in criteria is appropriate. Alderman Glab stated the Honorary Street Sign Program is a work in progress, with new policies and changes to be expected. Motion by Condon, seconded by Santi, to accept Staffs recommendation to amend the Approval Criteria for the Honorary Street Sign Program to read as follows: 1. Historical and/or cultural influence of the applicant on the City. July 17, 2006 Page 8 2. Proof of significant lineage to the City. 3. Clear geographical relationship of street to the area of interest of the applicant. 4. Known to be of good moral character. 5. Clearly defined community_or public contribution made by the honoree.

REQUEST FOR ADDITION OF A GARDEN TRACTOR PULLING CONTEST AND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT-ANTIQUE TRACTOR SHOW, OCTOBER 14 AND 15, 2006 Community Relations Management Assistant Hobson noted Darick Franzen is requesting the addition of a garden tractor pulling contest to this year's Antique Tractor Show on October 14 and 1Vh. The Annual Tractor Show was previously approved by Council at its December 12, 2005 regularly scheduled meeting. Management Assistant Hobson noted Mr. Franzen is no longer seeking permission to have live entertainment at the event, which will again be held at the Petersen Farm property on the north side of McCullom Lake Road. Alderman Santi inquired if the applicant has made arrangements for audience seating for the tractor pull. Management Assistant Hobson responded bleachers will be provided. Alderman Glab inquired if the area will be sodded following the conclusion of the event. Management Assistant Hobson responded the area would be re-seeded by Mr. Franzen. Alderman Glab suggested if this becomes an annual event, a less expensive alternative to re-seeding or re-sodding should be sought. Motion by Santi, seconded by Schaefer, to accept Staffs recommendation to approve the request as submitted by Darick Franzen to hold a Garden Tractor Pulling Contest at the Antique Tractor Show scheduled for October 14, 2006 and October 15, 2006 at Petersen Farm.

APPROVE ORDINANCE AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 22, SWIMMING POOLS Director Napolitano explained the requirements for pools and hot tubs as found in Chapter 22 of the Municipal Code have been reviewed at length by the Community ' Development Committee and Staff. The result of the extensive deliberations is proposed modification to Chapter 22 Sections 22-1 and 22-2: 1. Adding definitions and thereby clarifying the difference between a July 17, 2006 Page 9 "permanent" swimming pool and a "temporary" swimming pool; 2. Exempting temporary pools from requiring a building permit. Director Napolitano stated Staff has created an Inflatable Pool Guidelines handout for distribution to the public. Alderman Schaefer opined the Committee did an excellent job in determining how best to amend the ordinance, particularly in light of the abundance of inflatable pools in the City. Alderman Murgatroyd inquired if there would be a fencing requirement for temporary pools. Director Napolitano responded, noting a search was done of surrounding communities regarding the fence issue. He stated there was no consistency among neighboring municipalities with regard to temporary pool barrier requirements. Alderman Murgatroyd stated the lack of requiring a fence is a safety issue which causes him concern. Alderman Peterson concurred with Alderman Murgatroyd. Alderman Peterson asked if the City would incur any liability by not requiring a fence for a temporary pool. He opined education of the public is the key to safety. City Attorney Fetzner stated education is important. It becomes a matter of taking the necessary steps to prevent accidents. Alderman Condon stated enforcement issues would be difficult regarding inflatable pools. The Committee thought the amendments before Council for consideration this evening would be the best way to address this matter. Alderman Glab stated he would feel better if even a temporary pool had limited access. He suggested language be added to address safety concerns. Alderman Glab stated he supports passage of the ordinance tonight but would like to further discuss the issue at the Committee level. Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Wimmer, to accept the recommendation of the Community Development Committee to pass and approve an ordinance amending Chapter 22 of the Municipal Code Sections 22-1 and 22-2, regarding the definitions of"permanent" swimming pools and "temporary" swimming pools, and exempting temporary pools from requiring a building permit.

Director Napolitano stated this is the third consecutive year Marengo Disposal has requested such a temporary use permit. In addition to Council granting the request for this season, Marengo Disposal is seeking a long-term request for the temporary use to enable them to forego annual Council approval. Since the Marengo Disposal scavenger service contract expires in 2012, Staff is recommending Marengo Disposal seek a conditional use permit to allow this temporary use on the premises on an annual basis with a term expiring 2012. Director Napolitano noted Marengo Disposal will proceed with the conditional use permitting application process prior to the request being made for the 2007 growing season.
