Delete 9.B.(2) Merle Olson will be coming in February 15. Add 9.B.(4) Ed Stevens - 10133 North 47th Street. Add 13.G. Rezoning Fee for Ag Preserve. 13.H. Retiring Park Committee Members Commemoration. (4 ayes) B. DAVE WISDORF, MNTCE. FOREMAN A. Snow Plowing Procedures & Policy - Wisdorf handed out color - coded map as to who plows what. Responsibilities overlap when there's a lot of snow,to help one another out. s Eder - Could we alternately reverse routes so some people are not always plowed out last? (Wisdorf - plow is used to first open main collector roads and then auxilliary roads so rotation may be difficult or not practical.) • Fraser - I question rotation because best route is worked out in advance according to snow conditions, etc. • Dunn - People at Tartan Park have complained in the past so it makes a difference to them. s Whittaker - It's a question of maximizing service to the most people and Laverne is opened first for the Fire Department; a few roads could be flipflopped but would not have much impact. • Eder - Each Councillor needs policy to tell people who call what schedule is. o Whittaker - Schedule is the County crews come out at 4:00 a.m. and City comes in at 5:30 a.m. Policy .is we will try to have everyone out in 10 hours if normal snowfall and 12+ hours for 6" snowfall and have streets sanded, etc. Danger of publicizing policy is that more people will be calling if conditions are bad and schedule is not met. It was agreed that Wisdorf and Whittaker will look at collector roads and those which may be flipflopped. B. Disposing of Surplus Pump - Fire and Maintenance Departments no longer need the portable hydrant / 4" trash pump since it is too large to conveniently store and too small to pump large lakes (only used once at Beutel Pond a week last year). It was advertised for bids for a month in a municiple magazine, and the City of Mora responded with high bid of $2,180 (one other bidder). Lake Elmo paid $3,500 for equipment and would cost $6,200 new. If sold, Maintenance would like to use their share of money to purchase smaller pump for water main breaks, etc. which would cost about $1,200. s Dunn - With economy the way it is, it is not seller's market; should be put out for more competitive bids. M/S Fraser/Mazzara to authorize sale of pump to City of Mora. Fraser/Mazzara withdrew motion and second. M/S/P Eder/Dunn that Lake Elmo offer pump for sale but additionally advertise in Minnesota city publications and newspapers. (4 ayes) 9. ORCHARD/SINCLAIR, SIMPLE LOT DIVISION - At Elizabeth Orchard's request, M S P Eder Mazzara to defer this item until full Council present and until 9:30 p.m. (4 ayes) DINNER BREAK - 6:04 p.m.
