City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2014 Page 8 of 15 This Committee would be advisory in nature and similar to the Interchange Committee would consist of two Louisville Council members (Mayor Pro -Tem Dalton and Council member Stolzmann), two Superior Trustees and one staff member from each municipality as appointed by the respective governing boards. Superior Trustees and staff have a similar desire to work on areas of mutual interest and are supportive of the Joint Issues Committee, including the DDI project, McCaslin Interchange transportation issues, coordination of utility systems, development of the Superior Town Center, trails coordination, Safe Routes to School and other matters. COUNCIL COMMENT Council member Lipton asked if the Town of Superior is interested in expanding the role of the Committee. City Manager Fleming stated the Town of Superior is very interested in the Joint Committee. Council member Lipton inquired whether there was a need for any of the other neighboring municipalities to be involved. City Manager Fleming stated it may be possible, but they have not had the same number of cross - border issues with Lafayette, Broomfield or Boulder County. Council member Lipton inquired whether there should be an intergovernmental committee. Council member Stolzmann noted there is the Consortium of Cities. The Mayor is a member of the Committee and they meet every other month. Mayor Muckle voiced his support for a Louisville /Superior Joint Issues Committee. MOTION: Council member Loo moved to approve Resolution No. 23, Series 2014, seconded by Council member Keany. All were in favor. DISCUSSION /DIRECTION — 2014 FIREWORKS Mayor Muckle requested a staff presentation. Public Relations Manager Muth explained initially after the flooding in September, staff thought the July 4th fireworks could still be held at the Coal Creek Golf Course. However now construction plans are in place and it has become clear the location is not a viable option. Other options may work, however there is no one location in town which offers a large open area also irrigated similar to the golf course. Monarch High School: This has not been discussed with the school district. The concern with this location is all of the surrounding area is non - irrigated crop land or undeveloped property (Phillips66). If there is little precipitation the surrounding area could be very dry and present a fire hazard.
