City Council Minutes <br /> June 4, 2019 <br /> Page 2 of 8 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> 4. O�en Forum <br /> Andrew Ellering, 4423 East Woodman Street, Pequot Lakes, addressed the <br /> Council. Mr. Ellering noted the City plows Jack Schmidt's Barber Shop parking lot <br /> because it is part of City property but during downtown events thlS parking lot is <br /> blocked off by Mr. Schmidt. Mr. Ellering questioned if the parking lot should be <br /> considered public parking. The Council directed Nancy Malecha to contact Jack <br /> Schmidt regarding this. <br /> Maury Graham, 5988 North Sluetter Road, Pequot Lakes, addressed the <br /> Council. Mr. Graham stated his major annoyance on North Sluetter Road is the <br /> dust and since this Road appears to be on the calendar for possible paving in the <br /> future he would like to ask the Council to consider more frequent applications of <br /> calcium chloride until the road is paved. He stated that calcium chloride <br /> applications have been applied over the years and contracted through Cass <br /> County and Loon Lake Township. Mr. Graham stated calcium chloride is a great <br /> benefit, but its life span is approximately 6 weeks which is not as long as the <br /> season. He questioned if the City would engage with Cass County to get access <br /> to this chemical so the gravel roads within the City of Pequot Lakes can be <br /> adequately treated until these roads are paved. <br /> Jason Gorr stated he can look into costs, environmental risks, and provide details <br /> to the Council. <br /> Council Member Akerson stated the City has a contract with Loon Lake <br /> Township and he is not sure how to change the contract. Mr. Graham stated <br /> Loon Lake Township does not have any taxpayers in this area but Pequot Lakes <br /> does and contracts are renewed every year. <br /> The Council directed Jason Gorr to look into calcium chloride applications for <br /> North Sluetter Road. <br /> 5.
