• CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION APRIL 7, 2008 APPROVED 269 COUNCIL PRIORITY GOALS, ACTION PLAN 2008-2009 — Administrator Heitke 270 noted that the goals and objectives document before the council is based on discussion at 271 the recent council retreat. Administrator Heitke and the department directors reviewed 272 each goal and objective along with the action plans. 273 274 Police Chief Pecchia has received national recognition for the county wide Anoka DWI 275 Task Force. It is an award for traffic safety partnership for traffic enforcement and 276 leadership in DWI enforcement activities. Also Officer Trena Petersen will receive a 277 2008 Mellisa Schmidt Community Service Award and recognition (statewide) for her 278 work in assisting junior high school students. 279 280 The council confirmed that they will review the goals and objectives on a quarterly basis 281 this year. 282 283 REVIEW REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS - 284 285 Item 3G- Millers on Main request for Variance from State Fire Code — Administrator 286 Heitke explained that Mr. Wagner has submitted the same request as last year relative to 287 the size of a tent he would like to use for a special event on his property. Upon checking 288 with the State Fire Marshal's Office to schedule a hearing, the city was informed that the 289 2007 variance was granted for that year only and they would not be considering future 290 requests. The council needs to make a recommendation; it is a public safety 291 consideration. 292 293 Chad Wagner, owner of Miller's on Main, noted that he doesn't recall the letter that the 294 Fire Marshal sent — he was told that there wouldn't be an issue with future variance 295 requests. He is very surprised to learn that there is a problem now. Plans have already 296 been made that have required financial commitment on his part; it would be impossible to 297 move the event at this point in the process. 298 299 It was noted by a council member that historically there hasn't been any issues with the 300 event and it's been occurring for quite a few years. 301 302 Police Chief Pecchia asked for direction on whether or not the sound monitoring 303 equipment should be ordered.
