Mounds View City Council July 27. 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked when Building Official/Fire Marshal Osmonson will be free from 1 <br />Medtronic inspections and available to fill some of this position. Community Development 2 <br />Director Roberts stated it may be several months and in addition, Ms. Osmonson conducts fire 3 <br />inspections and annual license inspections. Council Member Stigney asked if Medtronic is 4 <br />funding enough of her time. Clerk Administrator Ericson stated that Medtronic permit revenue 5 <br />would fund Ms. Osmonson for five to six years continuously. In addition, Housing/Code 6 <br />Enforcement Inspector Anderson has been used for other building inspection work beyond code 7 <br />enforcement. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Mayor Flaherty agreed that Ms. Osmonson’s time at Medtronic is extensive. Clerk-10 <br />Administrator Ericson stated the City is fortunate that Ms. Osmonson is also the City’s Fire 11 <br />Marshal and can address fire protection and education issues. He advised that Mounds View’s 12 <br />fire protection dues will go down because the call volume is going down and Fire Chief Zikmund 13 <br />would say that is due to the devotion to education and other efforts of Ms. Osmonson beyond 14 <br />inspections. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Council consensus was reached to fill the part-time Building Inspector position through a JPA 17 <br />arrangement with another city, possibly starting on a six-month trial basis. This item will be 18 <br />further discussed at a Work Session meeting. 19 <br /> 20 <br />C. Reports of City Attorney. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Noted. 23 <br /> 24 <br />12.
