1 Mr. Soth suggested the contract should contain the same language <br /> 2 pertaining to its compliance with the City Ordinance as had been <br /> 3 inserted in the Lake Animal Control contract. Chief Hickerson said <br /> 4 he had learned that some of the ACM personnel were involved in the <br /> 5 Minnesota Animal Control Association an_d the owner was trying to get <br /> 6 uniform ordinance standards established for all municipalities. <br /> 7 Council Action <br /> 8 Motion by Makowske, seconded by Marks to adopt the resolution which <br /> 9 would retain Animal Control and Management, Inc. to provide animal <br /> 10 control services for St. Anthony at a cost not to exceed $166 a <br /> 11 month and to direct staff to add language to the contract which had <br /> 12 been recommended by the City Attorney. <br /> 13 RESOLUTION 87-036 <br /> 14 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND <br /> 15 CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT WITH <br /> 16 ANIMAL CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT, INC. <br /> 17 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 18 Rieke Carroll Muller Associates to Do Feasibility Studies for City <br /> •19 Storm and Sanitary Sewer Systems <br /> 20 At Council direction, Mr. Hamer had sought .propgsals from the above <br /> 21 and Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. , with RCM submitting the lower <br /> 22 bid in both cases as indicated in the Public Works Director' s October <br /> 23 7th memorandum to the Mayor and Council. <br /> 24 Mr. Childs explained that the City has enough as-builts, plans, etc. <br /> 25 that the engineers should be able to make extrapolations of eleva- <br /> 26 tions to plug into their modeling process. <br /> 27 The Manager also addressed Mr. Hamer ' s suggestions for financing the <br /> 28 drainage system improvements and reduction of flooding with torren- <br /> 29 tial rains. He pointed out that some homeowners have already been <br /> 30 assessed for previous sewer improvements which was the reason Mr. <br /> 31 Hamer had taken another look at charging a "users fee" for sewer <br /> 32 improvements like those charged in Roseville, Falcon Heights, and <br /> 33 Fridley. This would involve higher fees for commercial uses when <br /> 34 square footage is considered, with residential and finally parks to <br /> 35 pay lower fees. <br /> 36 The Manager told Councilmember Makowske it made sense to charge <br /> 37 charitable organizations and churches along with everybody else <br /> 38 because "we all contribute to the runoff. " He added that once the <br /> 39 money is available from the fees the City can bond for long term <br /> 40 improvements and storm sewer 'maintenance, which is something the <br /> �1 state now allows cities to do. <br /> 12 <br />
