8.f) Staff Report-Administrator's Report �' � `� ��� �; �, � .�� :r� SCANDIA Staff Report Date of Meeting: November 19, 2013 To: City Council From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator Re: Administrator's Report AOP site visits to Scandia, Zavoral and Bracht mines were completed on October 24, 2013. Since the last Council meeting two complaints on the Zavoral Mine has been received. The first complaint was in regards to noise and the belief that they were promised no noise would be heard at all from the site. The complaint was in regards to noise after 2pm on Friday and an assurance that the Mayor said there would be no noise. As you know from the email, website or facebook updates,recent work past 2pm on Fridays has been on activities that do not fall within the definition of Mining in Chap. 4 of the Development Code. Tiller representatives have been providing more frequent updates on activities at the mine and since doing so we have not received any complaints. One complaint was received that gravel trucks were hauling and operating at the Scandia mine at ]0:45pm and later on Saturday,November 2"d. Tiller representatives were contacted and after checking with onsite management and an area farmer, responded to the City that there was corn being harvested in the area that night and the farmer uses the entrance near 223`d and Lofton to access the field. Please help spread the word! Press releases went out seeking applications from people interested in serving on the Parks and Rec Committee, Planning Commission and Wastewater Advisory Committee.
