58 <br /> • MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: March 27, 1998 <br /> TO: Michael J. Mornson, City Manager <br /> FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant w <br /> ITEM: Safety Committee Meeting Summary. <br /> 1. O ticp om System. Jay Olson and I discussed our meeting with Denise Miller of <br /> Rennix Corp. who is working with cities and counties in the metro area to install the <br /> Opticom System developed by 3M. The Opticom System allows emergency vehicles <br /> the ability to change the signal lights to clear intersections of traffic and allow them to <br /> pass safely. St. Anthony has 6 signal intersections that could be done and 3M will do 5 <br /> of them at a 40% discount. Her bid for the 6 intersections is $21,013, if ordered in <br /> 1998. Her bid does not include installing units in the emergency vehicles, which would <br /> cost an additional $17, 910; also does not include engineering costs, purchasing or <br /> laying cable or additional equipment that may be needed to upgrade existing cabinets. <br /> It is estimated that this project will cost an estimated $50,000. Ms. Miller left an 11- <br /> minute video that is very informative about the Opticom System. <br /> • 2. Fitness Program for the City Employees (FTE). John Malenick received a copy <br /> of a survey from Northwest Athletic Club, which was to survey interest of the Staff <br /> regarding fitness program preferences. Instead, it just asked if employees would be <br /> interested in joining Northwest Athletic Club. So the Committee discussed other <br /> questions we thought appropriate or important to ask. Those questions are attached for <br /> additional suggestions to the survey. <br /> 3. Health Insurance for Early Retirement. The Safety Commission has had <br /> questions about whether or not the City was considering reinstating health insurance for <br /> those employees who are thinking about retire early. <br />
