I OPEN FORUM
Loren Law, 7220 York Avenue, Edina, former Richfield Mayor, requested the City Council
consider installing a flag, flag pole and lighting outside of Wood Lake Nature Center so the school
children who visit the nature center can see it. He requested Mr. Luettinger and he be present
when the outside flag is dedicated. He also requested the flag in front of City Hall be relocated or
the trees trimmed so it is more visible.
Vern Luettinger, 6711 Lake Shore Drive, former Richfield City Council Member, agreed with
Mr. Law regarding a flag at Wood Lake Nature Center. He suggested the location be at the current
mailbox site. He continued that when this request was presented and denied by the FOWL Board,
he didn't receive a real explanation why a flag was not included in the nature center's refurbishing
project. The American Legion and VFW support a flag at the nature center and may consider
furnishing it.
Council Member Wroge stated he asked Wood Lake Nature Center Manager Karen Shragg
to place the flag installation on the FOWL Board agenda. The board voted no but Mr. Luettinger
was not present for the discussion.
Council Meeting Minutes
-2-
July 24, 2007
Recreation Services Director Topitzhofer explained that it was his understanding the initial
request to the board was for the outdoor flag pole to be part of the Gateway Gardens project and
the board decided that was not the best use of donated funds. He suggested Mr. Luettinger and
Mr. Law return to the FOWL Board with a revised location request. There is a flag inside the
nature center.
Council Member Kilian suggested the option of a self-storing flag.
Mr. Luettinger said that with the current makeup of the board and Ms. Shragg, he believed
an outside flag wouldn't stand a chance. The City Council is responsible not the board.
Mayor Pro Tempore Sandahl suggested the normal procedure for such requests be
followed and they return to the board.
Mr. Law said if it is a budget issue, liquor store profits are used for park improvements.
Council Member Wroge said the City Council does not always agree with a board or
commission recommendation but the right for them to consider it should not be taken away.
Mr. Law said the request will be presented to the board again and if it's denied, it will come
back before the City Council.
Kathleen Murphy, 6601 5th Avenue, addressed the City Council regarding July 4 parking
issues and inappropriate activities and incidents in her apartment building's lot after the fireworks.
She asked the City Council to take further action with the apartment property management to
address these problems.
Heidi Gaibor, 6915 Wentworth Avenue, thanked the City Council for their special meeting
on July 18 regarding the 66th Street/Portland Avenue intersection and listening to resident
concerns and reconsidering the proposed roundabout. She said the comparison of the 17th
Avenue/66th Street roundabout to the 66th Street/Portland Avenue roundabout is not equal.

Mayor Pro Tempore Sandahl led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.

consistency and staff should work with the property owners on the east side of Portland Avenue.
