After years of city and community discussion about the site, it looks like the Log House Landing and ramp will stay the same after a 3-2 vote by the Scandia City Council at the May 3 council work session. After a motion by Councilman Jim Schneider to leave the Log House Landing ramp as it is, Schneider, Ness and Councilman Bob Hegland voted yes and Councilman Steve Kronmiller and Mayor Christine Maefsky voted no to the motion.
The council had previously agreed that there were four options to consider for the future of the landing: close it, remodel, allow only carry-in vessels or leave it as it is.
