MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 8, 1990 Bergeron outlined the need for an additional lieutenant within the Department and the duties that would be performed by that lieutenant. Fahey suggested that this issue be left to the City Administrator and the contracting cities. Fahey stated that he did not oppose the proposal from a practical standpoint, but had concerns from a cost standpoint. Fahey stated that he would rather see the Crime Prevention Officer added than the additional lieutenant. Blesener pointed out that the policy changes adopted this evening will probably not provide immediate cost-savings to the City, but will in the future. Again, the Council requested that the Sheriff's Department work with the City Administrator to identify problem areas in the City. Once identified, the Council will consider what action can be taken to resolve the problem. PALMEN Mr. Ron Palmen appeared before the Council requesting EXCAVATION an excavation permit for the Swanson property. It was PERMIT - pointed out that Palmen has obtained the necessary SWANSON permits from the DNR and Army Corps of Engineers, but PROPERTY needs to obtain a permit from the Watershed. Palmen pointed out that the Council has approved the preliminary plat for the Swanson property, and he would like to begin excavation work on the site. The City Engineer pointed out that the issue of the storm sewer has not yet been resolved. The Engineer reported that removal of the established turf on the site will increase run-off. The Engineer felt that the storm sewer issue needs to be resolved before excavation begins. The Engineer felt that at a minimum the City needs an approved storm sewer plan and agreement for how the improvement will be paid. Palmen reported that he would install silt fence on the property. The Engineer reported that he would like approval of the drainage plan for the area including final plat approval for the property before any grading work begins. Page 19
