MINUTES City Council November 25, 1981 Mr. Hanson is proposing to send this notice out as a mailing to all property owners in little Canada. Mr. Fahey suggested that the mai1ing go out with the sewer bills. Fahey also stated that he would like to see the mailing before it goes out. The rest of the Council felt the notice should go out in the sewer bi11s. Mr. Hanson stated that he would put together the mailing and submit it to the Council for their review. City's Mr. Hanson stated that he felt the City's Zoning Ordinance presented Zoning problems to not only the City Council, but the Quilding Inspector. Ordinance Fianson felt the ordinance was very compl~cated, Hanson felt the Council and the Planning Commission should review the or~dinance in terms of enforcement. Hanson felt that the ordinance should be made easier to live with and enforce. Mrs. Scalze asked Mr. hlanson if he H~anted to relax the ordinance. Hanson replied that he wanted to make it more liveable. Mr. Fahey stated that when a new Ruilding Inspector is appointed, the Council should go through the ordinance with him. Mrs. Scalze stated that just because the City has been handled a certain way for the last 50 years does not make that way right. Mayor Hanson suggested that this ordinance could be reviewed after the first of the year. Salary For Mrs. Nardini pointed out that applications for a new Quilding Inspector Quilding are being taken unt91 December 3. Nardini asked if the Council wanted Inspector to discuss the salary for this position tonight. Mrs. Nar~ini also stated that in reviewing the applications the City has received to date she feels that some of the applicants are qualified and others are not. Mr. Forsberg stated that he thought the applications should be narrowed down to 3 to 5 and the Council shou1d designate a night to review these applicants. Forsberg felt the Council could then meet with the building inspector and talk about salary and the zoning ordinance. Mrs. Nardini felt that the building inspector position required about a to 16 hours each week. Fahey felt the City should go a flat fiee per month if it can and maybe three days per week, four hours each day. Fahey also felt that the new building inspector shou1d be looking at code violations. Fahey then stated perhaps the City should stick with the $~00 per month and 80% of fee and special rate for specia1 assignments it is paying the current building inspector. Fahey suggested the Council narrow the applicants down to three at the December 9th meeting and then have a special meeting to interview the applicants. The special meeting could be called on the 9th, Page -19-
