APPROVE PURCHASE OF 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE TRUCK FOR OAKDALE FD Fire Marshal Marty Schwartz has been driving a 1986 Chevrolet Blazer in his role and duty as the City's fire marshal, inspecting buildings, as well as the assistant fire chief responding to fire calls. The vehicle is not in good condition and has been inspected by PW Director Chris Petree and mechanic Dave Greeder, who do not recommend any additional City dollars be spent to return it to safe condition. The Oakdale fire department has for sale a replacement truck, which was inspected by Chris and Dave on November 6, 2006. Fire Chief Jim Compton and Finance Director Ron Otkin have reviewed the availability of funds within the fire department for this purchase. City staff recommended Council approve the purchase of a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe from the Oakdale fire department for $18,500. The 1986 Chevy Blazer will be sold for salvage value. Miron made motion, Granger seconded, to table this matter until the Council meeting of December 18, 2006. All aye. Motion Carried. APPROVE SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR UPDATE OF EVERTON AVENUE AUAR Council member Haas requested that this issue be removed from the Consent Agenda for discussion. The Everton Avenue Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) was adopted nearly five years ago. The AUAR must be updated within that five-year term or it will expire. City staff recommended that the AUAR be updated so that development can continue to occur in the Everton Avenue area consistent with the approved plans. A scope of services has been provided by WSB for the update; it is anticipated that the costs for updating the AUAR will be reimbursed by developers within the study area. City staff recommended Council approve the Scope of Services to update the AUAR for a cost not to exceed $9,500. Only future developers will be required to reimburse the cost of the update and CD Director Bryan Bear will look into the cost estimate in an effort to have that figure reduced. Haas made motion, Granger seconded, to approve the Scope of Services to update the AUAR to update the Everton Avenue AUAR, for a cost not to exceed $9,500, with the understanding that staff will work on having that cost estimate reduced. All aye. Motion Carried.
