MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 22,1999 PAGE 11 resolution. Mr. Stigney realizes that most of the comments are directed to the principle in myprevious vote, and will not subject the City to litigation. Mr. Stigney states he does feel uncomfortable being forced into voting for something that he opposed from day one as far as cost sharing, to use all our MSA money from the City to do the road construction and to pay of the light, when Mr. Stigney feels that it is a 50/50 benefit. He is fully aware of the Community Center, and the need for traffic control. Mr. Stigney's personal feeling was that from the beginning as long as the traffic light was not allowed to come in, that should have put a stop to the project right there. It was contingent getting traffic control in here and the developer was going to work with the City. It turned out that the City took the brunt of it. The Council made that decision, but not with his vote, so he is reluctantly going to support it, against principle, to avoid putting the City in a legal situation. Mayor Coughlin stated he has respected Mr. Stigney's stand on principle, even if they may or may not agree on specifics. It takes a particular character in an individual to be able to stand up to the slings and arrows over time and stand believing that your position is right and just, and I will say outside of the context of this discussion that I have been impressed by that ability of yours to do so. Motion/Second: Coughlin/Thomason. To approve resolution No. 5316, approving plans and isspecifications, authorizing advertisement and establishing a bid date for project 99-2 realignment of Edgewood Drive and T.H. 10 signal construction. Ayes - 3. Nays-0. Motion carries. ITEM 91): Consideration of risk management and process safety management proposals. Mr. Ulrich stated the proposal set at last week's work session requested that these be sent back to the City Council for further discussion. Mr. Ulrich stated Risk Management and Process Safety Management are programs mandated by the EPA. The Process Safety Management is OSHA regulation. The City is required to put forth both these programs into place and get done with Risk Management by June 21. Staff received three proposals of this. The amount ofproject can vary with the amount of time, effort, and things that staff has to provide to the consultant for this project. As stated in the staff report, we will do everything in our power to provide as much information and as much as clerical time from staff as we can. Mr. Ulrich stated staff would recommend that the proposal be awarded to Wenck. Mr. Stigney questioned if these were mandated programs, or are these new programs, or is this something done periodically. Mr. Ulrich stated the process safety was actually brought in by OSHA in 1992 and it is something • that the City was not aware of, at least the staff members at the time, and talked to many other cities and there a quite a few other cities also that are also doing the Process Safety Management.
