City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br />November 12, 2008 <br />Page 4 <br />1 solar panels to a residence is not something that tends to require additional structure for a roof. <br />2 There could be retrofitting involved or it could just be a matter of replacing a metal roof with a <br />3 solar roof. It is also possible that the solar panels would need to be located elsewhere. <br />4 <br />5 Councilmember Roth commented it would seem that trees would not need to be removed on the <br />6 south side of the building if solar panels were possible in the future. He commented one could <br />7 almost make an argument that it would be easier to tear off shingles than to remove a metal roof. <br />8 However, he is more in favor of a metal roof than asphalt. In relation to energy efficiency, he <br />9 questioned if there is a significant difference in the rating of masonry veneer versus Hardie <br />10 Board Siding. Ms. Sebesta replied not in the way this building is designed. If Hardie Board <br />11 Siding were to be used there would still be a masonry structural component on the interior. The <br />1.2 reason for this is durability, as the building will function as a warming house that will have kids <br />13 with hockey sticks, etc. Regardless of there being a masonry veneer or Hardie Board siding <br />14 material, there will be a concrete masonry backup and the insulation will be similar. <br />15 <br />16 Mr. Mornson stated the goal is to bid this project in the winter in order to receive a better price. <br />17 The bonds will be issued with the street reconstruction bonds in order to save on bond costs. It is <br />18 anticipated that the street reconstruction project will be awarded in February, this project will be <br />19 awarded in March, and the bond sale will be issued in March. <br />20 <br />21 B.

Staff is aware <br />25 of annual legislative changes to Minnesota Statutes and is recommending changes to the City <br />26 Code as appropriate. This has prompted changes to the City's Chapter 12, Section 1205 -- <br />27 Animal Control. Mr. Mornson reviewed the significant changes proposed to Chapter 12, Section <br />28 1205 — Animal Control. <br />29 <br />30 Councilmember Roth questioned if 1205.02 and 1205.08 should include `cat' in the verbiage in <br />31 order to be consistent with 1205.01. Mr. Morrison indicated lie will review this with staff and the <br />32 City Attorney. <br />33 <br />34 In relation to 1205.04, Councilmember Roth questioned if there will be a fine for individuals <br />35 who do not clean up droppings as required. Mr. Mornson replied a citation would be issued to <br />36 individuals that are reported. <br />37 <br />38 In relation to 1205.05, Councilmember Roth inquired about the observation period of 10 days <br />39 after a dog bite. Councilmember Gray explained the reason for the l0 -day observation period is <br />40 to allow time for rabies to show up. <br />41 <br />42 Councilmember Roth inquired why the 10 -day observation period is not mentioned in 1205.08 in <br />43 relation to quarantine. Mr. Morrison replied the only goal of this ordinance amendment is to meet <br />44 the minimum requirements of state statute. <br />45 <br />4 <br />
