5) Received a note in the mail 9/19/79
regarding a new provision on volunteer
firemen's association; won't affect the
City's budget.
6) Received a phone call regarding a
violation of housing code involving
pests. A warning has been issued to the
violators.
7) A bill for $200 and another dated 7/19/79
for $1,000 has been received from Dr.
Machmeier, of Resource Engineer, who was
asked to do a review of the Citizens Task
Force Report, specifically the Ardan Ave.
situation. The question is raised whether
or not the City authorized this expenditure.
On 5/29/79 Council authorized $200 for a
4-hour on-site inspection. A letter was
sent by Acting Administrator Anderson in
May stating that if he were to do
a report, he should submit a proposal to
do so, however it doesn't reflect such a proposal
exists. McCarty read a recent letter from
Machmeier that if the bill is not paid,
the copies of Machmeier's report should
be collected. Nelson feels this would
be almost impossible.
Rowley made the motion, seconded by Forslund,
that the City Council make payment of the
$200, per the Council motion of 5/29/79.
(Invoice #910)
(Nay vote: Ziebarth, who felt
Council should wait to pay the
$200 until an understanding is
reached of Machmeier's position
in order to reach a two-sided
solution to this problem.)
4 ayes
1 nay
McCarty made the amendment to the motion,
seconded by Hodges, that Staff be directed
to make immediate contact with Dr. Machmeier
to see if we can settle the extra $1,000 bill
in a mutually agreeable manner. (Invoice
#911 under Resource Engineering)
