D. Status Report on the $1700 missing from the Fire De artment <br />Fire Chief Malmquist explained that every member on the Fire Department was <br />interviewed and there were no new leads. There were two separate incidents on money <br />missing. There was an insurance claim and a partial payment was received. The Chief <br />stated that procedures have been changed at the station. Acting Administrator Dillerud <br />noted that the handling of all money should be by the Finance Director. <br />E. Include Fire Department in Organization Study or Eguivalent <br />The Acting Administrator explained Springsted had interviewed Chief Malmquist, but <br />issues on regional fire are beyond the scope of this work. This would be a separate issue. <br />Council member Johnston asked staff to be prepared for that fire facilities study once we <br />get the results from Springsted. Dillerud said this can be placed in the budget for 2004. <br />F. Request Staff for Recommendation on Use of Fire Siren <br />Council Member Johnston stated the siren is disruptive, confusing residents with the civil <br />defense siren, and is obsolete when you have pagers and electronic pagers. Chief <br />Malmquist will evaluate the problem, check with Washington County on how this policy <br />change would affect them in regard to civil defense issues, and come back with a <br />recommendation in four weeks. <br />G. Street Naming <br />Fire Chief Malmquist stated the purpose of street names and addresses is to find a home <br />which is very important to fire and ambulance calls. Mayor Hunt asked to reactive the <br />naming system and asked staff to look into a policy that would work. <br />H. Buckthorn Problem on City Property <br />Council member Johnston explained there is a Buckthorn problem on the Gateway trail <br />and Demontreville Park. The Council received a letter inviting members to the <br />Woodbury Environmental Commission meeting on getting rid of buckthorn. Parks <br />Supervisor, Mike Bouthilet, was asked to come back with options such as spraying, or <br />pulling. <br />7. MAINTENANCE/PARK/FIREBUILDING: <br />8. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: <br />Tom Prew reported that he met with Mayor Hunt and Council member DeLapp to tour <br />the new Well Number 2 Pump House. <br />LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 1, 2003 6 <br />
