A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR HEARING ON IMPROVMENT ON THE
MATTER OF THE 1993 STREET IMPROVEMENTS
AUTHORIZATION TO CONTRACT SERVICES FOR AUDIO-VISUAL DESIGN AND
SPECIFICATIONS FOR COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Hoyt explained that staff is working toward improvement of the
audio/visual equipment and are also looking at new cameras as the
present ones are aging. Staff has met with Bill Bruce, cable
coordinator for Little Canada and he is willing to contract with
Falcon Heights at a price of $35.00 per hour, or a set fee, to
design and write specifications for the city's needs. Following
a brief discussion Council authorized staff to contract with Mr.
Bruce for up to 20 hours. If additional time is needed the
matter will again be presented to Council for discussion.
DENIAL OF REQUEST FROM MR. AND MRS. KING, 1427 W. IDAHO FOR
COPYING COSTS
Ciernia commented on the fact that some of Mr. and Mrs. King's
costs were incurred due to the city's error in issuing a building
permit for the oversized garage at 1433 W. Idaho, and that
perhaps, the property owners could be reimbursed for the materals
prepared for Council and the Planning Commission. Baldwin
explained that it is not unusual for people to incur expenses
when presenting information to the Council and Commissions. He
stressed that the city simply does not let individuals spend tax
money, that it would be against city policy. Gibson Talbot
indicated she felt it was an unfortunate situation but she would
be uncomfortable with reimbursement, esepcially when the city
would have provided the copies for Plannning Commission and
Council had it been requested.
Baldwin called for a motion to reimburse the Kings. No motion
followed. Request denied.
