MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 2007 BEAM The City Adminisri•ator requested that the Council authorize staff to AVENUE pursue a joint project with the City of Maplewood to get utilities into IMPROVEMENT the Beam Avenue/LaBore Road area. He noted that the project would involve Maplewood bringing sanitary sewer into the area and Little Canada extending watermain through this area. The extension of sanitary sewer to the Richie Project will eliminate the need for two or three lift stations. The Administrator indicated that the first step would be to meet with two of the Little Canada property owners relative to utility and street easement acquisition. The Adminisriator reported that if the project proceeds, it will be a Maplewood project, but will be coordinated with Little Canada. The consensus of the Council was for staff to proceed with easement discussions. COPY The City Administrator reported on the need to replace the City's copy MACHINE machine and pointed out the recommendation of staff to purchase a Canon Image Runner in the amount of $15,877.02. Staff is also working with the City of Roseville to coordinate a document management system through them, and will be coming back with additional recommendations on software acquisition. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTIONNO. 2007-12-335 -APPROVING THE PURCHASE OFA CANON IMAGE RUNNER COPYMACHINE IN THE AMOUNT OF $15,877.02 AS RECOMMENDED BY CITY STAFF The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. The Administrator indicated that this purchase was budgeted for in 2008, however, is being moved up in order to avoid a price increase after the f rst of the year. DEER COUNT The City Clerk reviewed her report dated December 13, 2007 relative to the City's cost for the County to conduct a deer count. If warranted, the County would then make a recommendation on and coordinate a deer hunt to reduce the population. It was noted that some of the factors for consideration are the fact that sites of at least 20 acres or more are recommended, public versus private ownership of these sites, and public opposition to the hunt. The Clerk noted that it appears there is a large population in the LaBore Road area, but most of this property is under private ownership. There will likely be property owners who would deny access to their land for such a hunt. 19
