MINUTES <br />REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />OCTOBER 23, 1985 <br />PAGE 2 <br />plan puts an extra burden on the Rescue personnel. Mr. McNabb <br />indicated that the plan had been presented to the Department and no <br />one spoke up in opposition at that time. Council requested that <br />Mr. McNabb again address the Department regarding items discussed <br />at this meeting, and if agreement is reached, have the Department <br />by-laws amended to reflect the distribution of funds, and report <br />back to Council at the November 13th meeting. <br />Attorney Van de North stated he had investigated the City's liability <br />in regard to the Explorer Scout Troop sponsored by the Fire/Rescue <br />Department and felt it was a good program and could be worked out. <br />Attorney Van de North presented and reviewed with Council the proposed <br />code amendment relating to removal of snow from alleys. Following the <br />discussion, Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Ciernia, that <br />Ordinance No. 0-85-16 be adopted, as corrected. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br />ORDINANCE N0. 0-85-16 <br />AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO SNOW REMOVAL ON ALLEYS <br />Councilmember Hard moved, seconded by Mayor Eggert, that the Mayor <br />and Clerk Administrator be authorized to sign the agreement with <br />Ramsey County relating to the reconstruction of Hamline Avenue from <br />Hoyt to Larpenteur. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Councilmember Ciernia moved, seconded by Councilmember Baldwin, that <br />the part-time secretary's salary be increased from $7.00 to $8.50 <br />per hour effective January 1, 1986. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Councilmember Ciernia questioned the $14,345.75 payment to the City <br />Building Inspector (the majority of which was for the plan check for <br />1666 Coffman) as he felt it was not appropriate to pay the entire <br />amount before the project is completed. Clerk Administrator Barnes <br />explained that the City has adopted the Uniform Building Code and <br />the plan check fee is included in that schedule, and if a change <br />is desired, the Code must be amended. Following the discussion, <br />Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Ciernia, that the <br />payment of $14,345.75 be authorized in compliance with the present <br />Code. Motion carried unanimously. Attorney Van de North was directed <br />to review the City's liability if errors are made by the Inspector and <br />Clerk Administrator Barnes is to research how other communities <br />compensate contractual inspectors. The matter will be discussed at <br />a future meeting. <br />Clerk Administrator Barnes explained that the Minnesota Department <br />of Transportation in a letter dated September 20, 1985, stated that <br />if the City desires the Department to install emergency vehicle <br />preemption at Snelling and Larpenteur in conjunction with the up- <br />grading of Snelling the cost of installation would be approximately <br />$6,000 plus $1,300 per vehicle (the ambulance at present has preempt <br />capability).
