While this purchase is already <br />20 made, it's the kind of thing the city should be mindful of in the future since there will be a <br />21 new city fire department and the shirts won't be useful for the city after the end of the <br />22 year. Mayor Reinert concurred that the city should be watchful. <br />23 <br />24 The council discussed the possibility of having Lino Lakes Fire Department t -shirts. <br />25 Chief Swenson recommends that would be a future discussion to include the pros and <br />26 cons. <br />27 <br />28 Public Safety Department — Chief Swenson explained that Item 4A authorizes hiring of <br />29 two police officers who would be the 25th and 26th sworn officers for the department; the <br />30 26th position is attached to a grant. He reviewed briefly the department's hiring process <br />31 and the two individuals he is recommending for hire. <br />32 <br />33 Community Development Department — <br />34 <br />35 Item 6A, Turnberry Crossing, 2nd Addition — Planner Larsen noted the location of the <br />36 development and the three actions requested (vacation of utility easement, final plan/plat <br />37 approval, and approval of an amended development agreement). She briefly reviewed <br />38 the updated plans, including the addition of four colors. <br />39 <br />40 Item 6B, Bids and Construction Contract for the 2015 Mill and Overlay Project — City <br />41 Engineer Hankee reviewed the bid process, noting that staff felt going into the bid process <br />42 that alternates may be necessary for certain elements of the project. As it turned out, the <br />43 bids received were so good that everything can be included in the project plans. The <br />44 successful bidder is a company that has worked with the city in the past. <br />45 <br />
