Resident raises propane tank concern; council directs follow-up with supplier and legal review
Summary
A Lake Avenue resident asked about the status of a propane tank; the council directed Councilor Morin and Marshall Helmberger to contact Superior Fuel and asked Councilor Norby to request a legal opinion on the ordinance interpretation.
During public input, Lake Avenue resident Al Kirkpatrick asked about the status of a propane tank at his location and was informed that the matter was listed on the agenda under old business (item 5.5). Councilor Joe Morin and resident Marshall Helmberger agreed to contact Superior Fuel, which the record states is operating from the site, to seek information about the installation and operation.
Councilor Kevin Norby requested that the city attorney weigh in on the ordinance interpretation related to the tank. The council did not take an immediate formal action on the tank during the meeting; rather, members assigned follow-up tasks to gather information and obtain legal guidance.
Next steps recorded in the meeting included contact with the fuel supplier and a call by Councilor Norby to the city attorney to clarify whether current city ordinances permit the tank in its present location. No enforcement action, timelines for attorney response, or technical details about the tank (size, ownership or permit status) were recorded in the meeting minutes.
