Councilmember Rowley stated the complete prohibition of parking between November
and March would cause problems. If anyone has company during the Christmas
holidays and has more cars than driveway space, they have to park in the street.
She is against the blanket provision.
Counilmember Baumgartner stated that in light of what Councilmember Rowley said,
the Police Department being compassionate, and because we don't have a lot of
control as to when the County plows, this ordinance should be adopted. It should
get the habitual snow birds. There are no ordinances that cover all situations.
If it does not work we can consider a parking ban during the winter months.
Councilmember Rowley stated she is comfortable with the ordinance as it is. If
it does not work we will probably have to go with a parking ban.
Councilmember Shelquist stated that with the exception of his original objections,
if the Attorney and Staff say it is enforceable then he is comfortable with it.
It is not the intent of the ordinance to trap anyone, but to minimize the cost
of having the County plows coming back because of snowbirds. He favors adoption of
the ordinance as it is.
Councilmember Hodges stated he agrees with adoption the ordinance as it is.
If it does not work we will have to change it and go with the complete ban.
Mayor Pickar stated there is no ideal answer, but since the Chief of Police has
indicated that they can live with it, we should try it. If it does not work
we can change it again. 5 ayes
ORDINANCE AMENDING DOG LICENSE FEES
Administrator Achen stated the ordinance would eliminate the prorata fee provision.
The current prorata fee provision gives a reduced license fee to those who purchase
their license after the deadline, which is unfair to those who pay on time.
MSP ( Pickar- Baumgartner) for the adoption of Ordinance 256 amending dog license
fees. 5 ayes
Mayor Pickar explained that the administrative costs are the same whether the
license is issued before or after the deadline.
PURCHASE OF FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK WITH PLOW
Engineer Hubbard reviewed the bids received on October 4th for the four wheel
drive truck with plow. Twenty -nine bid proposals were sent out and nine bids were
received. A summary of each of the nine bids is in the memorandum. Some dealers
had difficulty in meeting Sections A and B in the specifications. Section A specifies
a 400 cubic inch V -8 engine with a two barrel carburetor. Some dealers could
only provide a four barrel carburetor. Section B calls for automatic transmission
with a super cooler package. An automatic transmission was specified because there
will be several people operating the truck. The truck will be subject to heavy use
in plowing so the automatic should last longer. The lowest bid was received from
Superior Ford.
