PRESENTATION BY ROSEVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT REGARDING PROPOSED
POLICING CONTRACT WITH LAUDERDALE AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION
R-91-52
Chief James Zelinsky explained that the City of Lauderdale has
indicated they wish to contract with the City of Roseville for
policing service for 1992 and Roseville would like Falcon Heights
to adopt a resolution showing support of the contract. Deputy
Chief Tom Alleva presented information on the number of calls
presently covered, anticipated increase with the addition of
Lauderdale, the proposed service zone changes to include
Lauderdale, and the fact that including Lauderdale will decrease
the per capita policing cost to the cities.
Following the discussion Wallin moved adoption of Resolution
R-91-52 which carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION R-91-52
A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE LAUDERDALE/ROSEVILLE
POLICE CONTRACT
ADOPTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN
Ciernia reviewed the procedure followed in drafting the plan and
explained that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on
the Plan on November 20, 1991 and has recommended its adoption.
Gehrz moved adoption of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan revision
and authorization for staff to submit the Plan to Metropolitan
Council for review. Motion carried unanimously.
ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 0-91-13
Hoyt explained that the Planning Commission held a public hearing
on Proposed Ordinance 0-91-13 on November 20, 1991 which would
simplify the procedure for construction of utility buildings by
removing the requirement for a permitted accessory use permit and
requiring a building permit only. Following a brief discussion
Jacobs moved adoption of Ordinance 0-91-13 as recommended by the
Planning Commission. Motion carried unanimously.
ORDINANCE 0-91-13
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING §9-2.04[1](1) and §9-4.01[3J(i) OF THE

($267,304.32) and General Safety Equipment ($292,600.00). She
also explained that the bid from Clarey Equipment did not meet
specifications and outlined the bid review process. Council
considered the following options: (1) Accept the bid from
General Safety Equipment since the Clarey bid did not meet
specifications, but put a cost cap on the bid, (2) reject both
bids and rebid, (3) delay purchase for a year, or (4) prepare bid
for a pumper truck without the ladder/water tower attachment.
Wallin questioned whether or not it is appropriate to purchase a
truck at this time when the city is on the leading edge of the
Falcon Heights/Roseville consolidation study and suggested
waiting 9 to 12 months. Council and representatives of the Fire
Department held a lengthy discussion regarding increased safety
for both property owners and firefighters with the availability
of the new truck and tower apparatus, the fact that there will be
a price increase in December, and the truck would still be of use
in the event of consolidation. Following this discussion, Jacobs
moved that the bid from General Safety Equipment at a price of
$292,600 be accepted contingent upon its meeting specifications.
Motion carried unanimously.
