Page 4 <br /> Council Minutes <br /> November 9, 1994 <br /> REQUEST TO SUBMIT A SERVICE SHARING GRANT TO THE BOARD OF <br /> INNOVATION AND COOPERATION FOR $100,000 FOR APPLYING COUNTYWIDE GIS <br /> (GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SERVICES) MAPPING CAPABILITIES TO RESCUE <br /> SERVICES <br /> Administrator Hoyt explained that the Ramsey County fire chiefs have prepared a <br /> grant application for the State Board of Government Innovation and Cooperation for <br /> funding to integrate the county's current GIS information with the existing fire and <br /> rescue response procedures. The grant request of $100,000 would implement a GIS <br /> information system with the cities of Shoreview, Falcon Heights, Vadnais Heights, <br /> North Oaks, Little Canada, Roseville, New Brighton and the Ramsey County Sheriff. <br /> The grant would cover the hardware and software necessary for implementing the <br /> system in these communities. Administrator Hoyt said this would be useful for <br /> several aspects of city business besides the fire /rescue information. The grant <br /> application proposes a $1,000 contribution from Falcon Heights toward the <br /> equipment. An additional and undetermined cost in the grant is the purchase of the <br /> data from the county. After discussing what the possible effectiveness of this grant <br /> might be to the City of Falcon Heights, Councilmember Gibson Talbot moved to <br /> participate in the grant at a cost of $1,000. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Councilmember Hustad requested that council obtain further details of this service <br /> grant at a future meeting. <br /> SCHEDULING OF PUBLIC HEARING ON DELINQUENT UTILITY PAYMENTS <br /> Councilmember Gehrz said that staff had reported that Ramsey County has begun <br /> adding charges to handle any type of assessment and would like to see these charges <br /> passed on to the property owner in connection with delinquent sewer /recycling bills. <br /> Council agreed that any additional fees incurred in this process should be passed on <br /> to the property owner. Council discussed the city's "late fee" charge on <br /> sewer /recycling bills and determined that charge to be adequate. Jan Gibson Talbot <br /> moved to schedule the public hearing for delinquent utility payments on December 7, <br /> 1994 on or after 7:45 P.M. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> CITY INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> Councilmember Hustad reported that he attended the swearing in of a group of <br /> approximately 160 youth (Ameri- Core). The youth were selected for their positive <br /> message and service to their communities. <br />
