MINUTES REGULAR. CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 1983 PAGE 5 periodically during the Harvest Fest on G ctober 9, 1983 at the Gibbs Farm. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Warkentien referred to a letter dated September 2, 1983 from Al Thovson, 1938 Autumn St., regarding the City~s request that the hedge on his property be trimmed to comply with City ordinances. Mr. Thovson, who was in attendance, informed that he has trimmed his hedge 20 feet back from Autumn. Attorney Gasteazoro suggested that the City Engineer check to determine if the trimming had been accomplished in a proper manner because the City has that liability. Mr. Thovson suggested that compliance with the stop signs placed on Prior and Autumn should be enforced because of the additional traffic generated by the Good Value Homes pro3ect. Following a short discussion, Mayor Warkentien moved, seconded by Council- member Ciernia, that Resolution 83-35 be adopted. Motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION $3-35 A RESOLUTION LEVYING TAXES FOR THE YEAR 1983, COLLDC TIBILE IN 198l~ ($503, 845) Councilmember Larson reviewed the problems inherent with the anti-fall device for the hose tower as well as the problems experienced by the City of Woodbury. She questioned where the liability would be if the chains were installed on the hose tower and were not used. After further discussion, Attorney Gasteazoro was directed to im-estigate the possibility of petitioning for relief from the OSHA requirements. The matter was deferred to the next Council meeting. Mayor Warkentien moved, seconded by Councilmeanber Chestovich, to direct the City Engineer to investigate whether plans have been previously prepared to change the size of the waterline 'from Fairview to Cleveland, and and if not, to prepare the necessary pl ais. Motion carried unanimously. Councilmember Eggert reviewed the budget for the North Suburban Cable Commission. He also explained that Group W has proposed to downgrade its system- and some of the technological changes have been accepted, with reservations. Councilmeinber Eggert felt the reason for the downgrade request may be to make the system similar to the one proposed in St. Paul which would be helpful if Group W elects to sell the franchise. He also commented on the fact that Group W is behind on the construction schedule and the Commission can levy a $5,000 per day fine against the company if the systeaa is not fully operational by April 21. Mayor Warkentien presented a statement on charges from Howard Dahlgren Associates for the Larpenteur/Snelling planning. He felt there might be a conflict of interest since the Dahlgren firm has been or is presently employed by Embers and all three alternatives in the Larpenteur/ Snelling plan eliminates the Municipal Liquor Store but leaves Embers intact. Councilmeanber Ciernia pointed out that the Dahlgren firm is also very close to the commercial development in the City of Roseville, but that it would probably be difficult to find a planning firm that would not have some inter-relationship with others in the area. After further discussion, Councilmember Chestovich moved, seconded by Councilmember Larson, that payment be approved. Mayor Warkentien offered an amendment to the motion that the $90.00 be deleted from the fee for the consultation with Henry Kristal of Embers. After a discussion, Mayor Warkentien withdrew the amendment. Upon a vote being taken, the following i ~~ MUZZLE- LOADER (cont.)
