in the Clerk's Office) relating to assessment of collector
streets was reviewed, after which Council thoroughly discussed
the matter and made recommendations. Maurer will come back with
a draft of the assessment policy addressing the items
discussed. Council also requested that a map be prepared
categorizing the different street uses.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT RELATING TO REGULATION OF DOGS DISCUSSED
Carol Carlson explained that the purpose of the proposed
amendment is to make it more convenient for the Roseville Animal
Control Officer to deal with a situation when a dog has bitten
someone. The present wording in the Code is different from the
Roseville wording forcing the officer to follow two sets of
rules. Following a short discussion, Wallin moved adoption of

DISCUSSION - REQUEST FROM DENNIS HUNT, BULLSEYE CENTER, THAT THE
CITY WAIVE THE TAX DELINQUENCY PROVISION OF THE CITY LIQUOR
LICENSE REQUIREMENTS
Dennis Hunt, owner of Bullseye Center, explained that he is
interested in applying for a liquor license for a proposed
liquor store in his center. This is presently prohibited by
City code due to the fact that Bullseye has not paid the real
estate taxes for the last half of 1988. He stated that Bullseye
Golf is in bankruptcy proceedings (Chapter 11) and in order to
make the reorganization work it is necessary to have a cash
flow, which is not the case at present due to vacancies in the
building. For this reason he requested the City waive the
requirement that taxes be paid before a liquor license can be
issued. He also stated that he plans to pay the back taxes at
$1,500 per month over a three year period. Baldwin advised Mr.
Hunt that the residents of Falcon Heights already have $400,000
invested in the center (bonds) and the only way to protect the
residents from paying double taxes on the Bulleye property is to
have the taxes paid to cover the bond payments. Following a
lengthy discussion Council agreed that it would not be prudent
to grant Hunt's request at this time as there is no reason to
believe that deleting that portion of the liquor code would
solve the problem. If Hunt can provide assurance that this is
the best way to cover taxes Council would again discuss the
matter.
DONATION TO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT LAKES AND TRAILS RESERVE UNIT
Wiessner explained that in 1988 Council authorized a donation of
$500.00 to the Lakes and Trails Reserve Unit for extra traffic
patrol services for special events at the State Fairgrounds,
however due to an oversight the check was never issued.
Wiessner requested that Council authorize issuance of a check in
the amount of $1,000 to cover the 1988 donation of $500.00 plus
$500.00 for the year 1989. Ciernia moved approval of the
request which carried unanimously.
PERA CONTRIBUTION INCREASE
Council noted that there will be an increase of $218.00 in the
City's PERA payments for the remainder of 1989 due to changes in
the State Law.
AMBULANCE BID AWARDED TO ROAD RESCUE, INC.
Fire Chief Leo Lindig reviewed the bids received from North'
Emergency Vehicle Sales, North Central Ambulance Sales and
Service, and Road Rescue, Inc. He then recommended awarding
the bid to Road Rescue, Inc., based on the fact that they
submitted the low bid and met specifications. Following a
brief discussion, P. Chenoweth moved awarding the bid to Road
Rescue, Inc., which carried unanimously. Lindig also requested
that the old ambulance be kept as a back-up. Council asked that
the item be placed on the July 26th agenda for discussion.

M-75 BUILDING MAINTENANCE SERVICE
Wiessner explained that there have been some problems with the
present cleaning service, ie. missed cleans, poor work, etc.,
and, therefore, bids were requested from other cleaning firms.
After evaluating the eight bids received, Staff recommended
signing a contract with M-75 Building Maintenance Service based
on cost and favorable references. Council concurred.
ADMINISTRATOR'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AMENDED
Baldwin commented on Council's favorable assessment of the
Administrator's work in the past year and recommended that the
salary be increased to $41,500 annually, retroactive to the
anniversary date. Also discussed were changes in sections of
the agreement relating to vacation time and insurance benefits
to be in compliance with the benefits offered other employees.
Following the discussion, Wallin moved approval of the salary
increase and amendment of the vacation and insurance items in
the agreement. Motion carried unanimously.
