MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 24, 2013 <br />The next action plan was "Update City Website ". The Administrator <br />reported that since this was last discussed with the Council, staff has done <br />some additional evaluation of the $2,000 package offered by GovOffice <br />for updating the web site and has concern that it will not accomplish what <br />the City has hoped. The Administrator pointed out that there is also a <br />$4,000 package available, but he was not sure that this package would <br />provide all the features that staff had hoped for in the upgrade. However, <br />if that option is chosen, some additional customization is possible. The <br />Administrator indicated that staff will continue to study this matter and <br />will report to the Council. <br />The next action plan reviewed was "Develop Policy for Burying of <br />Power Lines ". The Administrator noted that given the decision relative to <br />power lines on Little Canada Road, drafting a policy should be very <br />straight forward. This policy will be presented to the Council in May. <br />Next reviewed was "Develop Long -Term Strategic Plan for Fire <br />Fighting Services ". The City Administrator noted that there are a number <br />of issues to evaluate relative to this goal. He also indicated that there is a <br />joint workshop scheduled with the Council and Fire Department on May <br />8th. Based on the outcome of that workshop, this action plan will be <br />updated. <br />The action plan for "Market the Rice Street /Viking Drive /Highway 36 <br />Site" was presented. It was the consensus of the Council that the City's <br />marketing efforts should be limited to the "for sale" sign on the property at <br />this time. <br />"Evaluate /Implement Video Surveillance Program to Enhance Crime <br />Prevention Efforts & Consider Other Potential Uses" was reviewed, <br />with the Administrator pointing out that this program is in the hands of the <br />Sheriff's Department at this point. <br />Next reviewed was "Continue to Move Forward with New Public <br />Works Garage ". The City Administrator reported that the soil borings on <br />the Schrier property went down 30 feet and did not hit solid bottom. The <br />Administrator reported that he has asked the City Engineer to put together <br />an estimate for geopier construction for this property. The Administrator <br />reported that he should have an update for the Council on May 22 "d. <br />"Pursue Shared Multi - Family Patrol Position" was reviewed, with the <br />City Administrator indicating that he will be discussing this issue with the <br />new Vadnais Heights City Administrator. <br />3 <br />
