Motion carried unanimously. 5/22/85 APPROVED At 7:30 P.M. Acting Mayor Hard opened the Public Hearing on a Conditional CONDITIONAL Use Request from Steven C. Emerson, 2129 West Larpenteur, to install a 65 USE APPROVED foot ham radio antenna and tower on his residence, and presented the S. EMERSON, Affidavit of Publication. There being no one wishing to be heard, Acting 2129 WEST Mayor Hard closed the hearing at 7:31 P.M. and moved approval of the Condit- LARPENTEUR Tonal use. Councilmember Baldwin seconded the motion, which carried unanimous:l~: RADIO TOWER Mayor Eggert opened the discussion on the conditional use request from Falcon Heights United Church of Christ, 1795 Holton, to increase the size of the parking lot. Engineer Schunicht reviewed his report dated June 3, 1985, after which Mayor Eggert reviewed Planner John Uban's report dated May 31, 1985 and discussed each point with the Church's architect Larry Walker of Sanders and Associates. Mr. Walker explained that they did not place the entrance on Pascal, as they did not wish to disrupt the neighborhood more than necessary, and the residents on Holton are accustomed to the entrance on the Holton side. He also felt that an opening on Pascal might encourage drivers to use the lot as a short cut. Following the discussion, Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Baldwin, that the conditional use be approved subject to approval of the final plans by Staff, the Engineer and Planner and leave open the option to add a Pascal exit if warranted by traffic congestion on Holton. Motion carried unanimously. Clerk Administrator Barnes informed Council that he had met with Fire Chief Renchin and Fire Department Liaison Chenoweth to discuss administrative problems connected with City employees serving on the Fire/Rescue Department. He commented on the new Fair Labor Act, which requires that after an employee's city time plus fire time totals 40 hours per week, the rate of pay must be time and one-half. Mayor Eggert explained that Chief Renchin has indicated he is about to the point of requesting full time day time personnel which would be considerably more expensive than paying a city employee regular salary, plus fire time, plus any possible overtime. He felt since the department is in desperate need of day time personnel that the appointment of a city employee would help alleviate the need temporarily. Council noted Councilmember Chenoweth's memo dated June 7th recommending that any City employee serving on the Department be paid regular pay plus fire time as is the practice in neighboring communities. Following the discussion, Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Hard, that Jay M. Morgan (a City employee) be appointed to the Fire/Rescue Department subject to the usual physical and 1 year probation, with the stipulation that he will not function as a sleeper or standby on week ends or holidays. Motion carried unanimously. Councilmember Ciernia suggested that some changes in the Fair Labor Act be pursued. CONDITIONAL USE FOR F.H. CHURCH OF CHRIST APPROVED DISCUSSION SALARY FOR CITY EMPLOYEE SERVING ON FIRE DEPT. JAY MORGAN APPOINTED TO FIRE/ RESCUE DEPARTMENT Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Hard, that Resolution R-85-24 be adopted. Motion carried unanimously.
