120 June 5, 1978 to inform the Circle Pines City Council of this action. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion declared passed. Mr. Ulmer asked about the signing of the hardshells for the p;at- ting of the Outlot. Mr. McLean moved to authorize the Mayor and tht Clerk to sign the hardshells. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion de- clared passed. Mr. Volk had presented drawings for the construction of a shop of- fice and a storage room on the balcony. The manner of construction, the fire - proofing, the details of the shop office, and the figures on the one bid in by the end of this week. It was felt this matter could be discussed at the Council meeting scheduled for June 12.1978. In the need to change the phones, Mr. McLean suggested a direct line to just the Clerk's desk. More will be considered on this at the time of final planning. Mr. Zelinka asked the Clerk to call Heathkit on the P.A. system. Mayor Karth reported that the parking lot between the ball fields would be started tomorrow, Tuesday. Old railroad ties have been obtained for the edge. The necessary coulvert will be furnished by the County. The surface will be of a temporary material in case this location doesn't work out and the parking area needs to be relocated. Mr. McLean introduced the subject of code enforcement - at the pre - sent time the City has these duties to many different departments: such as, weed inspector, fire marshall, sign inspection, waste control; what other ordinances do we have on the books that need enforcing? The building inspector now paid on a fee basis, cannot be expected to do these other duties without compensation. Should the building inspections be left on a fee basis and the other en- forcements on a retainer basis? Mr. Mobley injected with some problems he has encountered on West Shadow Lake Drive in the area of the installation of septic systems. The Clerk was instructed to pull the file on Lakes Add. #1, it was Mr. McLean's impression that this area along the lake the lake had been platted for city sewers and not for on -site septic systems. There was general discussion on putting this all tohether into a program of inspection control, such as a full time inspection de- partment. There was a suggestion on putting the weed inspection and the fire marshall's duties under Mr. Volk's department, with the ap- plications for fire permits being handled fromthe office, thus elim- inating those positions, with a salary compensation to Mr. Volk for the extra duties. Mr. Schneider suggested setting up a special meeting for the con- sideration of this. July 12 1978 at 8:00 P.M. was scheduled for this special meeting. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion declared passed. Mr. Mobley presented a problem he has with a resident constructing a building without a permit and occupying an uncompleted home with- out an occupancy permit. He has put a stop order on the building and had red tagged the home. This resident had been given a variance
