MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 12, 2000 as warnings. The City has imposed a charge for the opening of the shelter given that a City employee must open and staff the space. It was the consensus of the Council that the basement of St. John's Church was an acceptable interim shelter, pointing out that the feasibility of an on- site shelter is being pursued. Morelan suggested that given the difficulty is getting from North Star Estates to either St. John's Church or the Old Fire Hall due to the intersection of Country Drive and Little Canada Road, that the storm shelter be opened during storm watches as well as warnings. Morelan asked if North Star Estates would be opening the basement of St. John's Church during watches. Tom Ludden, manager of North Star Estates, indicated that he would be willing to open the storm shelter during both warnings and watches. He reported that he would contact St. John's Church to advise them of this policy. Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOI.
