1 C u Minutes Special Council Meeting November 23, 1976 page 2 There was much discussion on present inspection procedures and also on how much authority the Chief should be given. Council took no action but recommended that Chief Renchin and Attorney Kenefick get together and come up with some definite revisions to the code, including the authority for Chief Renchin to issue tags for vio- lations. Attorney Kenefick and Chief Renchin will present their revisions at the next Council meeting Council also discussed the present Fire Department physical examinations. Chief Renchin contacted Roseville and White Bear Lake to check the type of physicals they require for their firemen. There was also lengthy dis- cussion as to whether present members of the Fire Department should be required to pass another physical at a certain age or after a certain number of years of service. Council concurred that the present physical examination is inadequate and instructed Chief Renchin to study the sit- uation further. Acting Mayor Black read a request from Nathan and Lee Clonkey, 1796 Holton, to retain the snow fence they have erected in their front yard, extending over the boulevard. Mr. Clonkey is disabled and the snow shoveling is left to Mrs. Clonkey, who is in her middle 50's, and works. Councilmembers felt sympathetic toward Mrs. Clonkey's circumstances but feel that snow fences are an eyesore. Moved by Acting Mayor Black, seconded by Councilman Labalestra to in- struct Clerk-Administrator Barnes to enforce Ordinance 64, relative to fences. Ordinance big states that front yard fences shall not exceed 30 inches in heigk~t and shall not extend over the boulevard. Upon a vote being taken the following voted "aye": Acting Mayor Black, Councilmen Ecklund and Labalestra and the following voted "nay": Councilman Steele. Motion carried. Clerk-Administrator Barnes read a request from Mr. Carl Johnson, 150l~ Larpenteur Avenue, concerning parking during the winter months on the east side of Arona Avenue, from the alley between California and Lar- penteur. Mr. Johnson stated it is nearly impossible to make a right hand turn on to Arona, coming out of the alley because cars are parked during plowing and the plowed snow is piled up. Subsequently, each time plowing is done, snow piles up further away from the curb and each time cars park there after the plowing, they park further away from the curb. Council instructed Clerk-Administrator Barnes to reply to Mr. Johnson's letter and inform him that the City would contact the Sheriff's office and ask that the area be checked more often for parking violations during plowing times. Mr. Barnes stated he would comply with Council's request.
