The Commission discussed the slow progress with their ordinance document, which requires a legal review before public release. The city attorney had requested smaller document segments for review, but only the first four chapters have been assessed so far. Concerns about the attorney’s timeline were expressed, noting that other municipalities typically experience quicker turnarounds. The Commission aims for a completion date by April 7th, anticipating the attorney’s response by March 20th. If unmet, they may seek assistance from the League of Minnesota Cities to expedite the process. Commissioners emphasized the importance of avoiding project stagnation, acknowledging the contributions of a diverse group of citizens who participated in drafting the document.

Additionally, issues surrounding a controversial storage structure on Mary Nash’s property were raised. A complaint from a neighbor highlighted that the structure lacked a main building, violating local zoning regulations. Despite a cease and desist order, activity allegedly continued at the site. The Commission noted that corrective actions were necessary, underscoring enforcement challenges in compliance with zoning laws.
