Pertaining to the land acquisition for the Kenzie Terrace redevelopment project, Lee Entner said G & G Body Shop had indicated they will leave the two underground gas tanks in place . This would mean they would have to be removed after the land is acquired. The Hennepin County contract for assessing services has been received by Carol Johnson. She noted they have changed their method for charges . In the past, a flat rate was charged (last year amounted to approximately • $15 , 000) ; they are now basing their charges on the value of the homes ( $17 , 100 this year) . As a point of information, Ray Nelson noted statistics indicated the football strike last year cost the State 20 , 000 bottles of liquor for each game which would have been played at the Metrodome. A change in the fee schedule for building permits was discussed by Larry Hamer . He stated problems have arisen when there are no labor costs and the material costs are under $500 . He feels there should be a minimum charge for the inspection and will set up a schedule/ guideline for charges (possibly based on a set amount per square foot and the type of construction being done) . It would also be helpful if City employees observe construction within the City , they would note the address in order to check if a permit was taken out . Mr. Hamer also requested all calls regarding building permits/inspections be referred to Harry Lekson , the Building Inspector and the caller should be informed Mr. Lekson is in the office Tuesday and Thursday mornings . Paperwork for the permits can be done by Mr. Lekson. Mr. Hamer said the water tower should be ready by June 9th and he will request Schuman Bros . write a letter- indicat:ing such. Work on the watermain along Stinson Boulevard has been delayed- about a week due to the collapse of the sanitary -sewer line in front -of the high school . • He .-also -said 'CETA youths will be avai.lable- to the Department Heads if they have odd jobs needing to be done.
