MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 25, 1984 PAGE 3 RESOLUTION 84-40 A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE UNIVERSITY GORVE AREA STORM DRAINAGE PROJECT Councilmember Hard explained that the Fire/Rescue Department has requested that the number of members be increased from 30 to 36. He explained that the Department is short of members at present particularly in the daytime, and have persons who would be willing to work rescue but do not want to be firefighters. With the increase in personnel, it would be possible to hire rescue persons only and still maintain 30 firefighters. Following a discussion, Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Hard, that the City Attorney be authorized to review the existing ordinance relating to fire personnel (No. 38) and prepare an amendment to the ordinance for consideration by Council at the November 14, 1984 meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Clerk Administrator Barnes reviewed the City of Roseville's policy on storm drainage utility and recommended that Council consider establishing a similar utility to generate funds for any future storm sewer problems. Following a short discussion, Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Hard, that the City Engineer and Clerk Administrator be authorized to prepare a preliminary report relating to revenue which might be generated, and possible liabilities (potential storm sewer problems). Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Eggert requested that Council consider a workshop with the Planner, Attorney, Engineer, and Fiscal Consultant to draft a comprehensive public finance policy with specific reference to which portions of funds generated should go into projects and which portions into other city projects, use of 25 year tax increment bonds, and financial disclosure. After a discussion, it was decided to schedule a workshop for either November 15 or November 20, whichever date the consultants can be in attendance. Clerk Administrator Barnes is to obtain information from other communities and send copies to Councilmembers and Consultants prior to the meeting. Mayor Eggert stated that he felt Council should make a decision in regard to sidewalks, underground utilities, landscaping, etc. when a development occurs in order that there will be uniformity. Council concurred they would like to see these items included in developments. Staff was in- structed to provide Council with a copy of that portion of the Compre- hensive Plan pertaining to the matter, and request that the Planner provide format policies other cities have used in redevelopment of business districts. The matter will be discussed at a future meeting. Council scheduled the following business breakfast meeting: (1) November 13, 1984 at 7:30 A.M. with John Uban and the Redevelopment Committee, and (2) December 18, 1984 at 7:30 A.M. with the Human Rights Commission (perhaps with Roseville Human Rights Commission in attendance also). Mayor Eggert explained that Fire Chief Renchin had made him aware that fire insurance carriers are required to apy 2% of premiums into the Fireman's Benefit Fund, and he had requested the City Attorney give an opinion on whether or not the City may ask for the name of fire insurance
