MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JiJNE 13, 2000 <br />the City is currently making application for a safety grant to address some <br />of its OSHA needs at the Garage. <br />Morelan felt that a key issue would be future needs, such as whether or not <br />the City needs its own street sweeper. If so, is there adequate space to <br />house and service it. <br />The Public Works Director indicated that he is hearing from the Council <br />that the level of service should remain at the status quo. He indicated that <br />that will be the benchmark that will be used. <br />Morelan stated that he did not want to be shortsighted, and suggested that <br />long-term needs must be considered. <br />Fahey stated that he would have to be convinced that it was in the City's <br />best interests to increase the amount of in-House services provided rather <br />than provide those services on a contracted basis. <br />The Public Works Director indicated that another factor to be considered <br />is that there is a shortage of available property in the City. If the long- <br />term needs show that a larger Public Works Garage is necessary, the <br />Council may want to act on acquiring a piece of property at this time. <br />The City Administrator indicated that he would ask the City's inspectors <br />to prepare a Code deficiency report for the Public Works Garage. The <br />consultant would look at the garage from the perspective of needed OSHA <br />improvements. They would also prepare a cost per square foot for <br />construction of a new facility. <br />Based on this discussion, the Council was in agreement with the Action <br />Plan as presented. <br />Council reviewed the Action Plan for the goal, "Identify and Acquire <br />Easements for Missing Trail Sections". The Park & Recreation Director <br />indicated that the Parks & Recreation Commission would be reviewing the <br />City's trail plan at its July 6°i meeting. The next step would be to have a <br />workshop with the City Council to consider the Commission's <br />recommendation relative to the missing trail sections. It was the <br />consensus of the Council to follow the Action Plan as presented noting <br />that a workshop between the Council and the Commission should be <br />scheduled for July 12`x'. <br />The next Action Plan was "Explore Cooperative Agreement with St. <br />John's regarding shared Community Space in Proposed Parish Community <br />Center". The City Attorney reviewed his memo dated June 9, 2000 <br />
