MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 27, 1982 PAGE 2 ~~ The review of negotiations with the State Fair was deferred until February FAIR REVIEW 10, 1982 in order that :Councilmember Ciernia may have input. DEFERRED Engineer Lemberg introduced Engineer Glenn Cook who prepared the street and storm sewer improvements report for the Northome area. Mr. Cook explained in detail the type of improvements necessary in each section of the Northome area and the estimated costs. The report is on file in the Clerk Administrator's office for inspection by itnerested parties. Council inquired as to whether or not there would be a savings if the entire area is done as one project rather than one or two sections at a time. Engineer Cook assured them that there would be a savings of approximately 10% if the entire project is bid at one time. Following a discussion regarding financing and the most opportune time for con- struction, Mayor Warkentien moved, seconded by Councilmember Larson, that Resolution 82-10 be adopted, and that the Clerk Administrator be authorized to publish the hearing notice and prepare written notice to the property owners involved. Motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION 82-10 A RESOLUTION ORDERING A PUBLIC HEARING ON STREET IMPROVEMENTS, CURB AND GUTTER, AND STORM SEWER IM- PROVEMENTS IN THE AREA BOUNDED BY I,ARPENTEUR AVENUE ON THE NORTH, HAMLINE AVENUE ON THE EAST, HOYT AVENUE ON THE SOUTH AND SNELLING DRIVE ON THE WEST As requested at the January 13, 1982 meeting, Engineer Cook presented information on the conditions warranting the placement of .stop signs. He was not of the opinion that conditions at California and Ablert warrant the placement of signs. Councilmember Chestovich explained that the intersection is a busy one and that it is a school bus stop for a large number of children. She also ignured as to whether or not a "yield" sign would be warranted if a "stop" sign is not. The Engineer will do further research and provide more details at a future meeting. Mayor Warkentien read a letter from Mrs. A. Clayton Zimmerman, 1463 W. Larpenteur, protesting the $1.30 late penalty on her.4th Quarter, 1981 sewer charge. She stated she felt the penalty was unfair as she has no previous record of late payments. Council discussed the matter and agreed that the ordinances should be enforced and since the sewer penalty is stipulated by ordinance Councilmember Larson moved, seconded by Councilmember Chestovich, that the penalty not be waived. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Warkentien presented for Council's consideration the following salary increases for the part time employees at the Liquor Store: George Barbos - $4.75 per hour, Paul Benoit - $3.50 per hour and Delrose Ewan - $4.00 per hour. Councilmember Eggert was of the opinion that the increases were not sufficient, however, after Clerk Administrator Barnes explained that the salaries were recommended by the Liquor Store Manager and that the employees were satisfied, Mayor Warkentien moved, seconded by Councilmember Larson, that the salaries be approved as presented with the stipulation that the Clerk Administrator contact the employees and confirm their satisfaction. Motion carried unanimously. NORTHOME STREET IMPROVEMENT DISCUSSION PUBLIC HEAR- ING SET FOR 3/9/82 RESOLUTION 82-10 DISCUSSION OF REQUEST FOR STOP SIGN AT ALBERT & CALIFORNIA ZIMMERMAN, 1463 W.
