Rick Flinn received aj phone call from Linda Sadler who is concerned about the trailers at the end of. Joplin Street. Steve Steve Lawver stated that he has several things. Regarding the ADA and vehicle access on the trail system, Steve Lawver stated that the grant used tol build the Thom Station Trail was through MODOT money from Federal Highway from 2007. The trails were designated as pedestrian and bicycle trails. He stated that we havel had ar request to use an ATV on thet trail by a disabled person. He continues by saying when the trails were originally built, ATV's were not recognized as a personal mobility device. However, in 2010 ADA came out with new rules which were promulgated in 2014, expanding the personal mobility devices toi include segues, golf carts, ATV's and numerous other vehicles. Steve Lawver stated that one ofthe things that can be done to control the usage is to place as speed limit on the trail system, and ADA does recognize the speed limit as a qualifier. We can also make sure that aj person has a state issued disability placard. One oft the speed limit qualifications recognized is 6 mph, which is a brisk walking speed. This is the equivalent to the beginner speed ofa Segue according to the ADA's description. Steve Lawver stated that written procedures need to be put inj place allowing these vehicles on the trail system. Enforcement of these procedures will then fall to the Police Department. Steve Lawver stated that dealing with ADA only a couple of questions are allowed to be asked in regards to how the person is operating the vehicle. Steve Lawver explains that the question can be imposed asked the driver ift they have as state issued placard. If they verbally confirm than we have to let them proceed. Therewas discussion regarding if the placard has to be displayed, or ifa verbal confirmation is all that's needed. Steve Lawver stated that according to. ADA a verbal confirmation is all that is required. Mike Tally asked if there are any codified rules on trail usage as of now. Steve Lawver stated that yes we do have codified rules for the trails that we have not used federal money on, we have codified that golfcarts are allowed. There was al lot ofheavy discussion on the width oft thet trails andi ift there would be room for these vehicles as well as pedestrians. Mike Tallys stated that ai new code would need Steve Lawver stated that The Village of Airport Dr. sewer rates addendum #15 has been sent out to them and their rates would be $32.06 per connection monthly. He stated that normal cost for our guys to do their work will need to be adjusted. He explained that we use thei federal mileage rates which have gone down from 56.5 cents to 53.5. Thel hourly rate willl be going up due to longevity of the employees as well as one of the operator's having a B liçense. Steve Lawver explained that there will be new Regarding the community center for cards and activities: Steve Lawver stated that a breakdown has been presented to the Council regarding aj possible feei increases. He stated that there are several recommendations and possibilities that the city's activities director Kenny Wickstrom has created changing the cost ofthe fitness cards as well as instituting new pass cards for an activities only option. Stevel Lawver stated that pickle ball is going well and that some oft the regular pickle ball players have requested an option for an annual card where they do not have toj pay $3.00 each time. Steve Lawver stated that an all access option is being purposed which would give residents access to the fitness center, all of the weekly classes, andj pickle ball. Steve Lawver stated that with the hiring of the new activities director we have added weekly fitness classes as well as more equipment for the fitness center. Mayor Powers asked if thei fees that we have now are administrative fees or codified. Steve Lawver stated that they are administrative fees and not codified. Mike Burns requested information on how many fitness members we currently have and the reason for wanting to increase the rates. Steve Lawver stated that the money collected is used to pay for the magnetic fitness cards as well as funding for new equipment and repairs. Mike Burns askedi ifv we are operating under a deficient with thei fitness center. Steve Lawver stated that we do have money in the account. Regarding numbers of members, Steve Lawver defers the question to Maribeth Matney. Maribeth Matney stated that she does not have the numbers off hand but she can run a report. Mike Burns stated that he is in complete agreement with increasing the activities. Mike Burns also explained that he feels the activities director is doing a great job but that raising the rates would have the opposite effect of what we are trying to do which is to attract more members. There was discussion regarding the reasoning for raising fees. Rick Flinn stated that he feels al lot of people may have issues with the hours of the fitness center. He stated that ift the fitness center could open earlier, he feels more people would come. Steve Lawver stated that he has had requests for earlier hours but that staffing for those hours would be an issue. There was a lot of discussion regarding whether raising fees would draw more people: in or drive them away. Mike Burns recommended that we continue doing what we have been doing the last couple of months and leave the fees where they are, but include the all access pass for the activities. Mike Burns stated that we should continue to try to offer more and more activities to make the all access pass al better bargain. Mike Burns also stated that he believes we are on the right track. Steve Lawver stated that he will be working on some options to come back to the Council for  to written.  ordinances regarding these changes which will be on the nexti meeting'sagenda.  approval.
