City Council Minutes <br />August 23, 1995 <br />Page 3 t 2 <br />AWARDING OF CONTRACT FOR FALCON HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL <br />HARDCOURT CONSTRUCTION <br />Administrator Hoyt reviewed the hardcourt proposals received and noted that Aero <br />Asphalt, Inc. had provided the low bid. This hardcourt will house four height-adjustable <br />basketball standards. <br />Motion was made by Councilmember Gehrz to award the hardcourt construction contract <br />to Aero Asphalt, at a cost of 519,802.50. Motion passed unanimously. <br />CITY INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Councilmember Hustad encouraged the continued recruitment and applications for the <br />"Keeping Connected" task force. <br />Councilmember Gibson Talbot announced the upcoming National Crime Prevention Week. <br />Mayor Baldwin reiterated for the viewing audience that the "Keeping Connected" group <br />should be thought of as a "thinking" group. It will not have a traditional focus because <br />the council wishes for citizens to establish its own concept of community and how to <br />preserve and enhance it. Mayor Baldwin also announced that election filing dates for the <br />1995 city election were August 29 to September 12. <br />Councilmember Gehrz asked the viewing audience for volunteers willing to promote <br />Minnesota Chemical Health Week. <br />Administrator Hoyt noted the start of the Minnesota State Fair and the completion of the <br />alley and sealcoating projects. She also announced that the Falcon Heights Fire Cadet had <br />won first place at the "Ramsey County Challenge" and that Curtiss Field t-shirts were now <br />for sale at city hall. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:25 p.m. Following adjournment, Administrator Hoyt and <br />Accountant Rigdon presented the council with the revised 1996 operating fund budget. <br />As requested by the council, staff increased the budget for the contingency fund to nearly <br />550,000. The council and staff then discussed proposed revisions to several items in the <br />city fee schedule. Finally, the council discussed possible revisions to the city's merit pay <br />policy. No decisions were made at this meeting; all items will return to the council at a <br />regular meeting for final resolution. <br />J <br />Carla Asleson <br />Recording Secretary <br />r-- <br />Tom Baldwin, Mayor <br />
