Council considers resolution to name Ridgeview retention basin 'Ridgeview Addition fishing pond'
Summary
Council reviewed a DNR fisheries site visit and considered Resolution 2026-0707 to name the Ridgeview Addition stormwater retention basin for inclusion in a fisheries atlas; a motion was made to approve the naming but the roll-call result is not recorded in the transcript.
City Administrator Scott presented a DNR fisheries review and recommended naming the Ridgeview Addition stormwater retention basin so it can be included in the state's fisheries atlas.
Scott said biologists gave a positive report, that the pond "is one of the best ones" they've seen for water quality and fish presence, and that being on the atlas is a low-cost way to promote the site. He asked the council to approve Resolution 2026-0707 designating the feature the "Ridgeview Addition fishing pond." Council member (speaker 3) moved to approve and Nutt seconded; the clerk was asked to call the vote but the clerk's roll-call result is not recorded in the transcript.
Scott said DNR staff offered to do a fish count (shocking the pond) in spring and to provide education programming. The council discussed the possible local interest in listing the pond versus keeping it private and then moved on to other business.
