i73 COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990 felt that not all of the questions on this matter had been satisfactorily addressed. The Council discussed whether or not to direct the staff to prepare findings of fact supporting approval or denial. Council Member Bohjanen withdrew his motion and Mayor Bisel withdrew his second. Council Member Bohjanen moved to direct the City Planner to prepare findings of fact that support the DRB recommendation for DRB Application No. 90 - 58. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Council Member Neal said he felt an independent person should prepare the findings of fact. Mr. Schumacher explained that the City Planner would have to follow the criteria set in the City Code with respect to the health and welfare of the residents. He asked the representatives of Midwest Cable and Satellite, Inc. to secure information regarding this concern. Mr. Schumacher asked for clarification. He asked if the motion is in support of issuing the CUP and directed the staff to provide findings of fact and come back to the Council for final action at the next Council meeting. Mayor Bisel said yes and that he hoped that the staff was professional enough and the legal aspect is sharp enough. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schumacher said this item will be back on the January 28, 1991 Council agenda. ENGINEER'S REPORT Resolution No. 88 - 90 Awarding Bid for Portable Generator, Darrell Schneider - Mr. Schneider explained that bids for a portable generator were received on Friday, December 14, 1990. A summary of the bids was given to the Council. The specifications for the bid did allow for bids on used equipment. One (1) bid was received for a used generator and three (3) bids were received for new generators. Mr. Schneider explained that the Public Works Director had inspected the used generator and found it to be what this City needs. There is a warranty on the generator until 1994. It has been used and serviced and can be put into standby service immediately. It was previously a rental unit. Mr. Schneider was asked why the City would not just rent a unit when it is needed. Mr. Schneider explained that when the power is out, everyone needs a portable generator. It could be hard to find a rental unit. Council Member Reinert moved to adopt Resolution No. 88 - 90 awarding the bid to Ziegler, Inc. for a used portable generator PAGE 12 1 1
