Mounds View City Council June 9, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Council Member Stigney asked the average number of hours that the previous cable technician 2 <br />logged. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson said that the hours have varied over time depending upon who is in 5 <br />the cable coordinator position. It has decreased as of late, so he is not sure of the true average, 6 <br />but it is less than 20 hours. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Mayor Marty publicly thanked Dave Olson who kept the City on the air for a lot of years, and 9 <br />who has done an excellent job. 10 <br /> 11 <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Mr. Meehlhouse arrived at this point in the meeting and asked Council to discuss his matter. He 14 <br />then said that he called his insurance company and they will not cover sod repair, but 15 <br />homeowner’s would cover sprinkler repair beyond the amount of the deductible, and they have a 16 <br />$5,000 deductible. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Mr. Meehlhouse said that there is a sprinkler system pipe that is exposed and that pipe got 19 <br />broken. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Council Member Flaherty indicated that he would be willing to have the City take on half, of the 22 <br />$2,300 that has been requested. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Council Member Stigney said that he could agree to the suggestion of funding half but he would 25 <br />also like Staff to take this as a learning situation and take steps to ensure that this is not an issue 26 <br />in the future. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Council Member Mueller said that the total bottom line was $2,300 invoiced to Mr. Meehlhouse, 29 <br />and if the typical repair was successful, the Miehlhouses would not have been charged for the 30 <br />250 linear feet of sod. She then said that Mr. Miehlhouse has made a reasonable request of the 31 <br />$1,300. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Council Member Hull agreed with Council Member Mueller to fund the $1,299.10. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson said that all property owners save some money already due to the 36 <br />maintenance program, however, he does feel that Mr. Meehlhouse should be paid something, and 37 <br />half of the requested amount seems fair. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Mayor Marty indicated that they had a repair in their yard and it took a couple of years to get the 40 <br />lawn back, and it was a small area compared to this. 41 <br /> 42 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To Approve the City Paying Half of the Cost of the 43 <br />$1,300 sprinkler repair. 44 <br /> 45
