P'a February 9, 1981 Mr. Locher reported on the matter with Northdale Construction. He had met with Ray Payne of the MWCC today and a two week delay had been requested to solve this prob- lem. Mr. Locher presented some background history of this problem. The first item under the Engineer's Report was the discussion of curbs in the Shen- andoah project, bitumous or concrete. There was concern on the putting of bitumous where sewers are already in and in a few years the City must replace - this is costly to the City. Mr. Jaworski moved to require concrete curbs in the Shenandoah 11 project. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Gourley asked how this problem could be avoided in the future, and Mr. Locher said Section 13, Ord. 22 would have to be revised. Mayor Gourley moved that Mr. Locher be authorized to take care of this change. Se- conded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. On the Andall Street billing, Mr. McLean said he had received a call from Mr. Don Car- ley and he had requested this question be deleted from this agenda and he will get back to the Council in a coulple of weeks. Mr. Jaworski moved to delete this matter from this agenda. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. The Council considered Ord. 656. Mr. McLean questioned the portion that defined 'barking dog'. After some discussion on the problem of enforcing this section, Mr. McLean moved to approve Ord. 656, deleting Subd. F. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. The next item was a Resolution supporting the Community Development Block Grant appli- cation for improvements in the Lexington Park Lakeview area. Mr. McLean moved to adopt this Resolution. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. The next item was the consideration of hiring a police officer. Mr. Schumacher reported that he and Chief Mryhre had spent quite a lot of time on tnis. Advertisements had been run for two months - 62 applications, 32 were licensed, used a State approved test of 150 questions, 19 persons took the tests, the test results and applications were re- viewed and 7 were selected for oral interview, this number was then reduced to 3, and tonight they are recommending Mr. Redberg for the position. Mr. Schumacher gave some of the qualifications of Mr. Redberg. He is employed by the Hennepin Count* Sheriff's Department and would need four weeks before he could begin here. He will be able to begin on March 15, 1981. Mr. McLean moved to approve the recommendation of hiring Mr. Redberg as a full time police officer with a beginnning date of March 15, 1981.
