We have received isolated cases, such as this relating to claims of mailing payment but never to reach the City in time, however the penalties have not been waived. All of the utility bills received in the drop box are receipted the next morning by the front office staff. The only exception to this is on the penalty cut off days (usually the 20th of the month) when staff works until 5 :OOpm to assure same day receipt of any bills deposited in the drop box during that day, as recommended by City Council. The City does not accept post marks, but rather the funds must be received in the office by 4:30pm that day. The City is not in the practice of refunding payments unless there has been an error on the part of the City. For the above stated reasons, staff recommends for denial of the waivers presented. Council Action Requested Deny request for waiver of the penalty. Alan Heikkila 1911 Walnut Street Hastings, MN. 55033 Home Phone 651-437.7171 March 02, 2001 Kim Niederkorn City of Hastings Publi-c Square 101 East 4th Street Hastings, MN. 55033 Ms Niederkorn, This letter is regarding the previous balance charge on our current water bill due on March 20th, 2001. I mailed the December bill on the 18th of that month, that was due on the 20th. Since March of 1~89 we have never incurred a late charge and we feel that since we have always mailed our payment ~n to your office 2 days in advance, it had ample time to arrive without being penalized. If the postal service delayed our payment it is not our fault and therefore we should not have to pay the $15.51 in late charges. We request that this late charge be removed from our bill. Thank you.

Holmes, Fire Chie~Y SUBJECT: Quote Award for Fire Department % Ton Pickup DATE: March 13,2001 The 2001 Fire Department budget includes the purchase of a % ton pick -up truck to serve as a utility vehicle. This unit will be replacing a 1990 Chevrolet Blazer. The trade-in vehicle currently has major mechanical problems and would be traded in as is. Conversion of the pick-up truck for emergency response will be done so by a separate vendor. Funding for the fitting of emergency warning lights, siren and radios will be from a separate line item within the current budget. Funding for the vehicle purchase will be from the fire departments equipment reserve fund.

To allow for quick response during inclement weather, consideration should be given to the vehicles ability to fit into an 84" high residential garage. Although three major manufacturers units initially meet this requirement, the addition of a 4.5" high light bar reduces consideration to Dodge and Chevrolet.

HOLMES, CHIEF 115 West 5th Street Hastings, Minnesota 55033-1815 Business Office (651) 437-5610 Fax (651) 437-5956 TO: Dave Osberg - City Administrator FROM: Mark Holmes - Fire Chief~ jf'" SUBJECT: Unfunded Training Needs DATE: February 9, 2001 During a recent conversation we discussed the need to provide additional educational opportunities for career and paid on call key personnel. Over the past four months, I have served on a committee of fire service managers from Washington and Dakota Counties. The committee was convened for the purpose of identifying supervisory level training needs for fire ground officers. Although the original purpose for examining these training needs was in response to recent area OSHA citations, I feel this training will benefit our department in many respects. The major emphasis of this program will be conducting safe fire ground operations through educated tactical decisions. With the recent appointments of two captains and three lieutenants, our department has experienced a major turnover in operational management. To effectively deal with this turnover and incr~ase junior officer confidence and abilities, I am proposing a six course curriculum for all new officers. The program will require two years to complete and each student will spend approximately 180 hours in the classroom. Through regional cooperation with a generally accepted standard of training for officers, programs will be available at times and places convenient for paid on call personnel. Upon completion of the curriculum, students will receive an Advanced Fire Protection certificate through Hennepin Technical College. With this memo you will find a copy of the program curriculum. Although the majority of funding requested will be for the training of fire ground officers, other operational and administrative needs have arose. FIRE SUPPRESSION FIRE EDUCATION FIRE PREVENTION AMBULANCE SERVICE Page 2 Dave Osberg February 9, 2001 National Safety Council: Coaching the Emergency Vehicle Operator. Certification of one career firefighter will allow us to comply with Minnesota State Statute that requires all ambulance drivers to be properly trained in the safe operation of an emergency vehicle. With 50 ambulance drivers this requirement would be difficult to meet using an outside agency to conduct this training. Career development of administrative personnel. Within our department we have identified the need for technical course work in specific computer programs. To accomplish these training needs I am requesting that $12,000.00 be appropriated for unfunded training. As a source of funding for these needs, consideration could be given to carrying over unexpended funds from the Fire Department 2000 budget.

They were designed an anced with the view to expos~ . course participants to different instructional perspectives. In so doing, it was anticipated by the revision team that jurisdictions teaching this program would introduce their students/course participants to local authorities with an expertise on the subject matter being taught This process has met with great success on a national level, and it has also proven to be very beneficial/flexible to juIis(fitti~ns adopting this program and its content. . ,. This revised Fire Officer II program addresses the "real world contemporary issues" that pose a challenge to the supervisory leadership skills of the flISt-line officer involved in the administrative/operational issues at the company/organizational level. As a result, the sessions within this program are designed to stimulate critical/creative thought processes toward what "we should be doing versus what we are actually doing" as company officers. Session 1 Government Agencies: Influence and Impact on Fire Service Organizations (NFPA 1021, JPRs 3-1.1 and 3-1.2) Government policies and regulations are a way of life for the fire services of today. Their pervasive influence over daily operations will impact on the structure, operational, and administrative effectiveness of fire service organizations well into the 21 st century. This session provides an overview of governmental regulations as they relate to a fire service organization and the legal framework under which a fire company operates. It is suggested that an instructor with credentials in the field of government and politics teach this session. A "team-teaching" approach with several guest lecturers/instructors presenting various viewpoints and perspectives woUld make for an interesting classroom delivery. Session 2 Application of Effective Report-writing Skills to Fire Service Communications (NFPA 1021, J1>R 3-4.4) This session is designed as a three-hour sequel to Session 2 in the Fire Officer I program. It is the practical writing block of instruction that focuses on good sentence structure and proper gramm::lr in investigative writing. It also focuses on the group process as it relates to reading, editing, and proofreading documents. It is strongly suggested that an instructor with solid writing skills be used to teach this session. A background in English literature, expository writing, journalism, and/or technical report writing is recommended. Fire Officer II xv -' Session 3 Human Resource Management: The Fire Officer's Role in Marirnizmg Personnel Performance (NFPA 1021, JPR 3-2.1) / :.) The company-level officer's daily routine incorporates the effective utilization of personnel and resources and all aspects associated with managing intergroup dynamics. This session prepares the company officer to address the various documents/paperwork processed or referred to on a daily, basis along w~th acquiring a clearer understanding of human motivational factors. Maximizing the performance of an organizational member will often prove a worthy challenge to a company officer's interpersonal skills. It is suggested that an instructor with solid credentials and experience in the personnel and counseling-arenas be selected to present this material. Session 4 The Supervisory Role in Managing"^-trrrmative Action Issues (NFPA 1021, JPRs 3-2.1, 3-2.2 and 3-4.1) - - , This session dovetails with Session 3 of the Fire Officer I program and maintains a proper focus on diversity/affirmative action issues within the workplace. Specifically, the contents of this - session examine in greater detail the concept of harassment and its effect on organizational members. Techniques to eliminate harassment of a sex-based or non-sexual nature are key focal points in this session, along with the necessary ingredients for a hostile-free work environment. It is suggested that an instructor with expertise in affirmative action issues, grievances, litigation, and/or personnel laws be used to teach this material. An attomey who has litigated cases of this nature would be a big plus for the course participaiJ.ts. , Session 5 The Responsibility of the Fire Officer in the Budgetary Process (.NJ!'P A 102l, - JPR 3-4.2) Regardless whether your organization is a career, volunteer, and/or combination fire company, it still derives capital and operating funds from a variety of revenue sources. Some type of budgetary process must be in place to ensure sound financial management of private and public funds. This session is a sequel to Session 7 of the Fire Officer I program, and addresses the budgetary process for the company-level officer through a lecture and activity-oriented format. The contents of this session affords the opportunity to structure a simple budget request to elected officials and its subsequent revisions. An instructor with a background in financial management and budget preparation should present this material. --. xvi Fire Officer 1I Session 6 Supervisor and Subordinate Interaction: Conducting the Evaluation and Appraisal Process (NFP A 1021, JPR 3-2.2) This session expounds upon the contents of Sessi.on 8 .of the Fire Officer I pr.ogram. It examines in greater detail the pr.ogressive discipline and performance evaluatian pracess, and hew the company level supervis.or must prepare fer working within the framew.ork of pr.oblem-solving mechanisms. It focuses .on progressive discipline as a supervisary toal, as well as preparing the supervisar t.o conduct a perf.ormance evaluation with a subordinate. An instruct.or with strang credentials in pers.onnel counseling techniques and intergroup dynamics shauld be c.onsidered. An individual whe has been invelved in maximizing member performance and metivatianal incentives should teach this material. .' . - Session 7 Information and Data Technology Systenis: Management and Fire Services Applications (NFPA 1021, JPR 3-4.4) Inf.ormati.onal and data flew/processing are crucial activities c.onfr.onting the c.ompany-level .officer on a daily basis. Officers must have a warking knawledge .of data systems and their pracessing! st.orage capabilities. This sessian pravides an .overview of the process ass.ociated with managing data and related functi.ons. This sessien is net designed to make camputer programmers o~t .of its students; rather, it is structured ta previde an overview .of vari.ous technelagical capabilities that are either in use .or are available te the fire service te assist with the task .of data storage and retrieval. The instructar teaching this material d.oesn't necessarily have t.o be a camputer and/ar technalegy professi.onal. He/she sheuld be able ta relate the material t.o the .operati.onal/administrative requirements of a fire service .organizati.on. Session 8 Occupational Safety and Health Issues: A Supervisory Approach to the Exposure Reporting Process (NFPA 1021, JPR 3-7.1) Exp.osure precautians are a keen facal p.oint in .operational delivery .of services an a daily basis. Fire Officer I addresses the vari.ous aspects .of safety and wellness for fire service members. This- sessienraises the bar .of performance- expectatian far the student. He/she must complete an exp.osure preblem as a campany officer fer the first time and came to grips with the unpleasantries accampanying this process. An arganizatianal infection control .officer whe drafts/recemmends eperati.onal p.olicy weuld be ideal to teach this material. FIre .officer U XVll ," Session 9 The Company Officer's Role in Fire Safety and Injury Prevention Education (NFPA 1021, JPR 3-3.1) t") i, ,7 , This session addresses the focus and importance of public fire safety education and its relationship to the community. Prevention strategies and life safety issues are a major concern for civic and community groups. The success of a community fire safety education program will depend upon the commitment of the company officer to this process. Instructors teaching this session should have credentials in the public fire safety education arena, as well as an interest in the subject matter. ~ .."!"....:;.-.-.... Session 10 The Company Officer's Role in, C...<<?oducting Inspections, Identifying " Hazards, Addressing Violations, and D~termining Origin and PreJirninsry Cause (NFPA 1021, JPRs 3-5.1 and 3-5.2) . The company officer tasked by an incident commander to conduct and/or supervise interior and exterior operations has a great responsibility. Tactical decisions are generally based on pre- planned information derived from the Fire Hazard Surveyfmspection process. Inspections, hazard identification, and knowledge of building construction features focus attention on the life safety problems that officers and firefighters will encounter under combat conditions. This session focuses the students' attention on "looking at the big picture" and being able to assist the investigative process that accompanies working incidents with specific information after a size- up has been completed.. Instructors teaching this session need strong credentials in the inspectionfmvestigation fields to present the material from this perspective. Session 11 Organizational Communications and the Company-level Supervisor: Engaging the Public's Support (NFPA 1021, JPR3-4.3) Effective communications, both in written and verbal formats, are crucial to the fire officer's management of company/departmental operations. Intra-agency reporting is very important when dealing with informational flow throughout the existing organizational structure. The intemal and extemal stake-holders that impact fire service operations are influenced by what they read and hear. A poor public image is not conducive to building professionalism within the organization. This session focuses on enhancing this communications process and the interface with the media relations. An experienced PIO from a government agency or fire service organization would greatly enhance the effectiveness of this material. Instructors also have the option of inviting a member of the TV or print media to assist with the delivery of this material in a team-teaching mode." XVlll Fire Officer II Session 12 Supervising Multi-unit Response Operations - Part I: The Strategic Planning Process (NFP A 1021, JPR 3-6.1) Emergency incidents are so dynamic that planning for every contingency is virtually impossible. Nevertheless, the company-level officer must consider the magnitude of the problem created by an emergency and have the resources identified and available to bring an incident to a successful conclusion. This session focuses on the pro-active role of the company in developing action, operational, and contingency plans and their effect on incident scene mitigation strategies. Instructors teaching this session should be command-level officers or agency managers involved in strategic planning and the single/unifiecLcommand process. Credibility is the operative word. This session is designed to be ~aught by a person- with the ability to relate strategic planning to the tactical aspects of incident mitigation. . . - -: . Session 13 Supervising Multi-unit Response Operations - Part ll: Application of Pre- incident Planning and Resource Deployment to Working Incidents (NFP A 1021, JPR 3-6.1) This session raises the bar for the company officer who is now faced with the reality that he/she will be tasked by an incident commander to assume the direct management of a division, group, section, or branch. It places the company officer in the decision-making process that ultimately brings the incident to a successful, safe, and rapid termination phase. This process is involved heavily in carrying out tactical objectives assigned to various units functioning on an incident. The intent of this session is to introduce the student to tabletop/simulation scenarios in an informal setting to practice incident tasking and resource deployment. The instructor teaching this session must be well-versed in multi-unit operations and possess actual command expenence. Session 14 Practical Application of Strategies and Tactics to Tabletop Scenarios (NFPA 1021, JPR 3-6.1) This session brings together the concepts discussed in Sessions 12 and 13. It affords the jurisdiction teaching this information the opportunity to utilize any of the various simulator packages available today and develop. incident mitigation skills during the process. It is the intent of this session to require the use of portable radios during the scenarios presented in order to create a sense of reality and purpose for the activity. The instructor teaching this session is required to have command experience and be thoroughly versed in the response capabilities and resources available where this course is being offered. . . Fire Officer II XIX Session 15 Final Written Examination PassIFaiI Point (~ ~~-;) Note to the potential presenter of this material: The contents of the sessions relating to incident operational activities were designed with the thought in mind that the instructors teaching them are up to date on strategies and tactics. Most importantly, it is the expressed intent of the"sreering committee/revision team that these . 'individuals be able to relate the difference b~tWeeAl ''Jthat should be done" and "what is actually being done" on a national and local jurisdictional level. Dyn.amic instructors experienced in leading group discussions and providing guidance to company level offi~ers are key to the success of these sessions. Sessions 12 through 14 were not desig'ned for the "arm-chair quarterbacks;" rather they should be taught by officers that are on the cutting edge of multi-unit response operations. -, ; '.. xx rue Officer IT VIII-C-1 3-12-01 To: Mayor Werner and City Council Members ~ From: Darbie A.D. Johnson and Skate Park Committee Members Re: Skate Park Proposal Cc: Marty McNamara Dennis McNamara Over the past several months a committee comprised of seven athletes (bikers, rollerbladers, and skateboarders), three parents, a local downtown business owner, a member of the NRRC committee, and me, a City of Hastings Park and Recreation employee, have researched and discussed several topics concerning building a skate park in Hastings. The following information details our proposal. If you have any questions prior to the council meeting on March 19,2001 please contact Darbie Johnson at 651- 480-2360 or email atdiohnson@cLhastings.mn.us What are the benefits to Hastings and why do we need a skate park? · Provides athletes a safe place to practice. Helmets and safety gear will be required. · Attracts out of town athletes to Hastings. Increased patronage to food establishments and businesses in Hastings. · Reduces/eliminates downtown skating/bikinglrollerb1ading. · Provides additional recreational activity for youth in Hastings. · Athletes would not have to drive to other Minnesota communities to practice. · Provides support to sport as with baseball, softball, soccer, hockey, etc... . Safe hangout for youth. Design It is proposed to build a Tier II park. A Tier II skate park is a facility with ramps generally greater than three feet in total height. This gives the more advanced patrons difficult components to ride as well as having smaller less advanced components for the beginners. A proposed design layout is attached. Location The committee researched and rated possible locations and discussed pros and cons for each site. The top location choices were the Vets Complex, Industrial Park, Lake Rebecca, and the current Hastings High School. The positive aspects of these locations included accessibility by paths, size, neighborhood area, and ability to expand. Some of the other locations were eliminated due to lack of space and possibility of flooding. After additional research and meetings with the Industrial Park Board, a final location choice was decided A map of the proposed area in the Veterans BasebalVSoftball Complex has been attached with the location highlighted. The Skate Park Committee is proposing the City of Hastings donate this parcel ofland. Funding The committee discussed and researched financing and fundraising for the proposed skate park. It is the hopes of the committee that the City of Hastings will support this proposal by donating $100,000 from unallocated park dedication funds, the proposed land, and site grading services. The unallocated park dedication funds will be replaced under the 2002 budget. The Skate Park Committee will make an effort to finance costs exceeding $100,000.00 for Phase I with fundraising efforts. Attached is also a preliminary budget projecting yearly and start up costs for the skate park. Seasonal ice rink cost vs. skate park cost A skate rink is approximately 17,000 (85'X200') square feet. Cost to build a seasonal ice rink is $90,000. Average daily attendance for Hastings ice rinks is 25 skaters. Average season is December to March. (4 months) The proposed skate park is approximately 9,800 (140'X70') square feet. Cost to build the proposed skate park is $100,000. Average season is April to November. (7 months) League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) The LMCIT offers member cities liability coverage for skate parks. When considering a Tier IT Park there are several factors that must be implemented to determine premium rates. These include anticipated attendance levels, size and number of ramps, and hours of operation. The premium rates for Tier IT parks can range from $2500 - $7500. After discussing details with a LMCIT representative, the liability coverage premium for the proposed skate park in Hastings would be $3000.00. There are several additional requirements we must follow according to LMCIT to qualify for coverage... · If open at night, facility must be adequately lit. · Area must be fenced in with a secure lock. · Skaters should never be allowed to bring in their own ramps, handrails, or other structures. · The designated areas must be locked during closed hours. · Facility rules and regulations, as well as hours of operation must be posted in a conspicuous location. · Document a formal maintenance program and continue that program for the life of the facility. Inspect the facility daily to identify potential hazards. · Require skaters and/or parents to sign waivers of liability. · Require skaters to wear personal protective equipment such as a helmet, wrist guards, etc... · Have a telephone or radio for emergency contact. Keep a complete first aid kit stocked at all times, including ice packs and sanitary towels. · Children younger than 10 years of age should not be allowed in the skate park. (The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under 5 not use skateboards. Injuries to children 5 to 9 years old statistically suffer 50% head and neck injuries.) · A facility supervisor on duty following any accident or injury occurring at the facility must complete an accident report. Waivers The facility will post and enforce established rules and regulations to include, but not necessarily limited to: operating hours and admission requirements; possible age and skill level requirements; behavior requirements; requirements regarding the use of personal protective and safety equipment; and requirements concerning the fitness for use of skateboards, bikes, and in-lines skates and related equipment. Skate runs will be labeled clearly as to degree of difficulty. In addition, the skate park will retain the right to revoke skatinglbiking privileges of participants who are rowdy or who do not abide by the rules. All users will need to complete and understanding agreement of the rules and regulations of the park and have a warning and waiver signed by the skaterlbiker and parent(s). Suoervision/Emplovment For LMCIT to offer coverage for Tier II parks a number ofloss control measures need to be implemented. Supervision is one of those measures. It is proposed to have two attendants on duty at all times for the Phase 1 design. If and when the park grows, so will the degree of supervision. One attendant will be operating the admission gate while the other attendant supervises the agility area. Another measure proposed is to have an emergency plan developed. Staff members will be trained regarding all safety rules and operational procedures. Minimum training will include Basic First Aid and CPR. Proposed wage for employees is $6.50-$7.50/hour. Helmets/Knee PadsIWrist Pads It will be required that all patrons wear protective gear. It is proposed that the facility will purchase several sets of equipment and rent to those patrons that do not have it. The following is a proposed list of costs to purchase and rent equipment... City cost to purchase equipment . $600.00 for 20 helmets . $900.00 for 30 packs of wrist, elbow, and lrnee pads Renting . Helmets = $3.00/day . Wrist Guards = $1.00/day . Elbow Guards = $1.00/day . Entire set = $4.00/day Fees It is proposed to charge $5.00/person for an entire day. Residents will be able to purchase a 12 punch card for $50.00 and non-residents a 12 punch card for $60.00. All patrons will be required to wear a wristband to signify admission to the facility. Hours of Operation Without proper outdoor lighting, the facility will have to close at dusk each night. During the months of April, May, June (until school is released), September, October, and November the park is proposed to be open from 3 PM - Dusk seven days a week. During the months of June, July, and August the park is proposed to be open from lOAM - Dusk seven days a week. The length of the season will depend on snowfall and weather. If a skate park is built what should conseauences be for skateslbikers/rollerbladers caught practicing in restricted areas. such as downtown? Currently, there is an ordinance in place for violations. Ordinance # 9.34. It was understood by the committee that if a skate park was built, they must abide by this ordinance. Current consequences are as follows: First offense = verbal warning. Second offense = equipment is taken by police. Parents must pick up equipment or it is sold at police auctions. We also discussed the possibility of adding community service and/or repair of damaged property for consequences. Thank you for your consideration in building a skate park in Hastings. It will provide much needed individual sport recreational activity for youth in our community as well as support in providing a safe.place for these athletes to practice. We look forward to future discussion with you concerning the proposed skate park.

BACKGROUND During the last year, the City Staff and to a certain extent the City Council has been faced with the situation that currently exists in the City Code that generally requires the installation of sprinkler system in buildings greater than 5,000 square feet. While the requirement has been place for quite some time, enforcement of the requirement has been minimal, at best. On Tuesday March 13, 2001 the members of the Public Safety Committee conducted a meeting to review the situation with certain representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, and discussed its impact on a potential new business that would be relocated. I was in attendance, along with Mike Schutt, Mark Holmes and Bill Mesaros. It was the consensus of this Committee that the entire issue must be addressed, with public discussion and input from the Chamber of Commerce, among others. Prior to the meeting, there was a question as to the appropriate City Council Committee to address the issue. Since the Public Safety Committee had already scheduled a meeting, it was conducted. But, now the issue should be addressed with the Operations Committee, which is specifically granted the responsibility to address "building permits", in the City Ordinance. (At the time of the meeting on Tuesday March 13, 2001 it was thought that perhaps the Planning Committee would be appropriate Committee. However, research of the Ordinance confirms the reference to building permits under the Operations Committee.) Therefore, the City Council action at this time is to assign this issue to the 0 ations Committee (Ed Riveness-chair; Janette Yandrasits and Danna Elling Sch , and report ba e full City Council its findings and recommendations. cobs, Hastings Chamber of Commerce cc. VIII-C-3 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Dave Osberg, City Administrator March 15, 2001 Temporary Reclassification RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION It is the recommendation of the Administrative Committee that the full City Council take action directing Staff to develop a policy that would address temporary reclassifications for positions that are temporarily vacant, and to authorize the temporary reclassification of Assistant Finance Director Char Stark to the position Finance Director at the Step G level. BACKGROUND The Administrative Committee conducted a meeting on Tuesday March 6, 2001 to address several issues relating to the classification and compensation system program. Among the issues were a temporary reclassification policy, and the current situation relating to Finance Director Lori Webster absence due to maternity leave. The Administrative Committee was in agreement that a policy should be adopted to. address situations that periodically develop resulting in a person serving in position with a higher classification, for an extended period of time. With direction by the City Council, Staff would begin the process of establishing a policy that would address situations that result in an extended leave, or an extended vacancy. In the meantime, the Administrative Committee did recommend that due to the extended leave of Finance Director Lori Webster, which will amount to approximately three months, that Assistant Finance Director Char Stark be reclassified to the Finance Director Position at the Step G level. The reclassification will result in a temporary salary adjustment of $523.00 per month. The reclassification would be retroactive to the first day Lori wa absent, and co . ue until her return, which is likely to be early-mid April. The Ad . strati e Commi tommended this action. VIII-C-4 HASTINGS POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMO TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: City Administrator, Dave Osberg Chief Mike McMenomy 1/11 March 7, 2001 City Hall Security To support our recent conversations, this memo will document the use of the Community Room rental and providing security at City Hall. As you know, a police reserve unit has been providing security for the rental of the Community Room, but we have recently been experiencing problems of not having enough coverage to meet the demands of the requests for rental of the Community Room. We have met with the reserve unit and as a group, they all agreed and wanted to keep the responsibility of providing security for City Hall events within the reserve unit. One of the items you discussed and I also discussed with the reserve is that as the rate the reserve members have been paid has not increased since the opening of City Hall in 1993. Now would seem to be a good time to increase the payment to the reserve members as well as increase the rate of rental cost for the Community Room at City Hall. The reserve members are currently being paid $10.00 per hour providing security. I would propose that rate be increase to $15.00 per hour for City Hall security paid to the members and I would also propose that they be paid a minimum of three hours of time worked for these security events. If a group rents the Community Room for only two hours, the reserve officer still needs to be there half an hour before the event and usually stays until the event is cleared out, so alot of times they are there past the time. In our contracted security agreements with the schools or dances we provide security at the officer works one half hour before the event starts and works one half hour after the event ends. Also, having a minimum of being paid the $15.00 for three hours, provides more of an incentive for the reserve member to work these events by putting on the uniform and staying and providing this service to the City. If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding this, please feel free to contact me. . Thank you. MCM/mjl VIII-C-S MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Dave Osberg, City Administrator March 15, 2001 City Hall Meeting Room Rental Rate RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION It is recommended that the City Council take action approving the following adjustments in the rental rates for City Hall meeting rooms: Current: First 2.5 hours, $25.00, $10.00 per hour thereafter Proposed: First 3 hours, or any fraction thereof: $75.00 (minimum), with a $20.00 per hour rate, thereafter. Staff would recommend that the new rates become effective April 2, 2001 to allow for advance notification of the new rate, for those who currently have a room reserved. BACKGROUND Since City Hall has been located at its current site, there has not been an adjustment in the rental rate for meeting rooms. The rate has been $25.00 for the first 2.5 hours, and $10.00 per hour, since City Hall opened in 1993. As noted earlier in the agenda, the rate for Police Reserves is proposed to increase. Not only has the City Hall meeting room rental rate remained the same for eight years, the City has not charged for any additional costs that are incurred for usage of the rooms: most notably, maintenance staff, City Hall staff, heating and lighting. The new rate will allow the City to recover not only the cost of security, but also some of the other costs that are incurred, which have previously not been recover . VIII-C-6 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Dave Osberg, City Administrator March 15, 2001 Flood While no action will likely need to be taken, the City Council may wish to conduct discussion and provide direction to the Staff on certain aspects of flood preparation in the City. Information received early this week from the Dakota County Emergency Management Department suggests that the Mississippi River will crest in about mid- April, under normal melt and rain conditions. The crest level is projected to be at 19.5, which compares to the crest level of 18.9' in 1993, and 21.3' in 1997. The City Council may recall that the City had considerable involvement with sandbagging in 1997, with both labor and materials provided. In addition, significant security efforts were needed along the river, to assure proper protection from those wandering in the area near the shores of the Mississippi River. Other activities and damages during 1997 included debris removal from Lake Rebecca; Lock and Dam Road repair; bath house repair; water line repair; landscape repair and seeding in Lake Rebecca Park area. Again, no action will likely need to be taken, but Council discussion and direction on the role of the City for flood preparation will be necessary as the last item for discussion at the City Council ~ ;;;2arCh 19,2001,
