CITY OF SPRING PARK WORK SESSION MINUTES OCTOBER 20, 2025 – 5:00 PM SPRING PARK CITY HALL (Work Session discussion times are approximate) 1. 5:00: Tom Emer & Chad Nelson: Lord Fletcher’s 2026 Music Review Tom Emer and Chad Nelson joined the work session to review their music schedule for 2026. Tom said they have been taking decibel readings all summer and all have been below the required noise levels per the city ordinance. City Administrator Anderson stated the city also conducted readings at various times all summer and all came back under the noise levels as well. Mayor Chase asked if some of the sound could be mitigated based on some neighbor complaints. Tom stated they have taken multiple actions to try to soften some of the sound that is carrying over and provided examples of those actions. He also asked the Council how many people have complained. Tom stated it feels like harassment as they continually have to spend time addressing this issue when they are not outside the ordinance noise levels. Council Member Sippel stated that a policy should be put into place to limit the number of days that Lord Fletcher’s can have music. Chad Nelson stated if the Council is going to make the policy, then to needs to apply to all businesses including Back Channel. 2. 5:40: Special Event Permit Process City Administrator Anderson reviewed the special event process with Council and said staff would like to change it for more efficiency. He stated that only those that had special requests that were outside of code would require Council approval – all others could be approved by staff. Council agreed but would like to be notified of all events for visibility. Discussion was had surrounding the fee structure on the fee schedule between the music and special events. There seemed to be some confusion between the music fees and the special event fees and what constitutes each one. Council would like to make sure we are covering our costs administratively. If we are, the fees can remain the same. They also requested clarity around the music fees and to determine a seasonable special event fee similar to the seasonal music only fee. 3. 5:55 Miscellaneous - none 4. 6:00: Adjourn After no further discussion, the work session was adjourned at 5:58pm. *Check Summary Register© CITY OF SPRING PARK 10/29/25 12:12 PM Page 1 Batch: 110325PAY Name Check Date Check Amt 10100 Wells Fargo Bank NA 34463 ABDO LLP 10/29/2025 $7,250.00 2025 Utility Rate Study -
