Mounds View City Council July 27.2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br />Council Member Stigney asked when Building Official/Fire Marshal Osmonson will be free from <br />Medtronic inspections and available to fill some of this position. Community Development <br />Director Roberts stated it may be several months and in addition, Ms. Osmonson conducts fire <br />inspections and annual license inspections. Council Member Stigney asked if Medtronic is <br />funding enough of her time. Clerk Administrator Ericson stated that Medtronic permit revenue <br />would fund Ms. Osmonson for five to six years continuously. In addition, Housing/Code <br />Enforcement Inspector Anderson has been used for other building inspection work beyond code <br />enforcement. <br />Mayor Flaherty agreed that Ms. Osmonson's time at Medtronic is extensive. Clerk- <br />Administrator Ericson stated the City is fortunate that Ms. Osmonson is also the City's Fire <br />Marshal and can address fire protection and education issues. He advised that Mounds View's <br />fire protection dues will go down because the call volume is going down and Fire Chief Zikmund <br />would say that is due to the devotion to education and other efforts of Ms. Osmonson beyond <br />inspections. <br />Council consensus was reached to fill the part-time Building Inspector position through a JPA <br />arrangement with another city, possibly starting on a six-month trial basis. This item will be <br />further discussed at a Work Session meeting. <br />C. Reports of City Attorney. <br />Noted. <br />12.
