Motion carried unanimously. Clerk Administrator Barnes informed Council that it is necessary that an energy report on municipal buildings be prepared before December 31, 1979 and that there are grants available for funding some of the cost of preparing the report. One suggestion was to attempt to hire the City Building Inspector to do the report. Mayor Warkentien moved, seconded by Councilmember Steele to authorize Clerk Administrator Barnes to apply for grant funds to cover the cost of the report and hire someone to prepare the report. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Warkentien presented to Council Ordinance 168 permitting storage of elm wood with bark on from September 15th to April 1st. Council- member Stone opposed the Ordinance on the grounds that it would require someone to police the storing of wood in order to enforce the April 1st disposal date, and inquired why it is necessary that the City adopt the Ordinance. Clerk Administrator Barnes explained that the adopting of the Ordinance is required by the State of Minnesota in order for the City of Falcon Heights to be included in the 1980 Shade Tree Program.
