City Council Meeting Minutes July 16, 2013 Page 2 of 25 Angie Layton, 619 W. Juniper Court, Louisville, CO informed Council of a problem at Heritage Park concerning sand hornets in the playground area. The City roped off the playground to resolve the problem, but residents are concerned toxic chemicals are being used. She reported every weekend morning between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m. the City uses a blower to clear the concrete, which is very loud and annoying. Neighbors are told it is to ready the park for parties. She felt it was a waste of money and felt those funds could be directed to other projects. She is a member of the Association for Community Living and thanked the City for supporting the organization.

Approval of July 2, 2013 Meeting Minutes COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS ON PERTINENT ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Mayor Muckle commented the BoDeans band at the July 12, 2013 Street Faire was the best band he's heard at the Street Faire. He reported on a newspaper article about special events causing crowding in the downtown area. He stated the Council and City staff are aware of the situation and are working toward resolving the problem. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Fleming addressed the downtown resident's complaints about parking and noise issues and reported the staff spoke with the manager of LuLu's about the situation. LuLu's will close at 11:00 p.m., and ensure no one leaves with an open container. The Police Department will focus more attention in that area. The Planning Division began a survey of the public parking spaces in the downtown area. Parking spaces will be monitored every hour during the day on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday to examine the parking patterns. A similar survey will be conducted in the fall to compare summer time parking with the different seasons. The Senior Citizen Ice Cream Social is Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 6:00 p.m., at Community Park. The City water taste and odor problem reported at the last meeting was not a result of the water drawn from South Boulder Creek, but from the Louisville Reservoir. With the warmer weather there has been a larger amount of algae blooms. The City will now pull the Northern Water Conservancy District water directly into the Water Filter Plant.
