Mounds View City Council June 9, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br />• Council Member Stigney asked the average number of hours that the previous cable technician <br />logged. <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson said that the hours have varied over time depending upon who is in <br />the cable coordinator position. It has decreased as of late, so he is not sure of the true average, <br />but it is less than 20 hours. <br />Mayor Marty publicly thanked Dave Olson who kept the City on the air for a lot of years, and <br />who has done an excellent job. <br />Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />Mr. Meehlhouse arrived at this point in the meeting and asked Council to discuss his matter. He <br />then said that he called his insurance company and they will not cover sod repair, but <br />homeowner's would cover sprinkler repair beyond the amount of the deductible, and they have a <br />$5,000 deductible. <br />Mr. Meehlhouse said that there is a sprinkler system pipe that is exposed and that pipe got <br />broken. <br />Council Member Flaherty indicated that he would be willing to have the City take on half, of the <br />• $2,300 that has been requested. <br />Council Member Stigney said that he could agree to the suggestion of funding half but he would <br />also like Staff to take this as a learning situation and take steps to ensure that this is not an issue <br />in the future. <br />Council Member Mueller said that the total bottom line was $2,300 invoiced to Mr. Meehlhouse, <br />and if the typical repair was successful, the Miehlhouses would not have been charged for the <br />2501inear feet of sod. She then said that Mr. Miehlhouse has made a reasonable request of the <br />$1,300. <br />Council Member Hull agreed with Council Member Mueller to fund the $1,299.10. <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson said that all property owners save some money already due to the <br />maintenance program, however, he does feel that Mr. Meehlhouse should be paid something, and <br />half of the requested amount seems fair. <br />Mayor Marty indicated that they had a repair in their yard and it took a couple of years to get the <br />lawn back, and it was a small area compared to this. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To Approve the City Paying Half of the Cost of the <br />$1,300 sprinkler repair. <br />
