CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION April 6, 2015 <br />APPROVED <br />90 wasn't a backup; as a result some people were sent away. Staff has since discussed how <br />91 to handle the situation in the future and will have a backup container. Mr. Friemuth <br />92 added that he has arranged for backup vehicles and he will make sure there is enough <br />93 capacity in the future. Mayor Reinert remarked that it was a problem to run out of truck <br />94 space and he knows the city has to be prepared because people count on the availability of <br />95 recycling when it is promised. Mr. Asleson added that Anoka County is also willing to <br />96 help and staff is discussing with them the possibility of a new program to take some items <br />97 for reuse. He added that the city's Public Works facility will be a backup also, just in <br />98 case. Council Member Rafferty noted that it did say "as available" on the flyer that the <br />99 city distributed. He wonders about the possibility of doing a curb -side spring clean-up <br />too effort because some people may have difficulty bringing items to a drop-off site. <br />1o1 Council Member Roeser suggested that volunteers such as boy scouts could help. Mr. <br />102 Asleson noted that one challenge with curbside is that the city needs to get credit for <br />103 tonnage. Barbara Bor added that she feels that recycling will continue to increase because <br />104 people are downsizing. <br />105 <br />106 4. Council Updates on Boards/Commissions- Council Member Stoesz, who serves <br />107 on the North Metro Telecommunications Commission, noted that he had sent council <br />108 members an update on that group's activities. <br />109 <br />110 4a. Charter Commission Request- Administrator Karlson explained that the Charter <br />111 Commission has requested that the City Attorney attend their next meeting in order to <br />112 advise them on a ward amendment for the city. As noted in his report the city attorney <br />113 reviewed a ward amendment submitted by the Commission in 2014 and prepared a <br />114 written opinion. Staff is seeking council direction on the Commission's request. <br />115 <br />116 The council discussed the possibility of a conflict of interest in sending the city attorney <br />117 and the need for an engagement letter if he were to serve the commission. A member <br />118 suggested that the Commission should pay for their legal expenses from their budget. <br />119 The council indicated that discussion of the matter was tabled. <br />120 <br />121 5. Monthly Progress Report- Administrator Karlson reviewed his written report. <br />122 The council discussed the need to upgrade the council chambers cameras and multi -media <br />123 equipment and directed staff to bring in an estimate and funding proposal. <br />124 <br />125 Regarding the Centennial Fire District expenditure to ArcStone Consulting, <br />126 Administrator Karlson explained that he received additional information in that the <br />127 amount noted on the expenditure list was for the whole project and it was originally <br />128 approved by the fire steering committee; there will be an update on the project at the <br />129 committee. The project was accomplished through a low bid from a very reputable firm. <br />130 <br />131 Council Member Roeser noted an item not on the progress report. He is still very <br />132 interested in receiving information on the history of union negotiations. Mayor Reinert <br />133 concurred that keeping track of what has been discussed in that area would be helpful to <br />3 <br />
