City Council Minutes Page 4 <br /> April 6,2015 <br /> 8.1 Fire Department Ladder I Change Order <br /> Chief Cunningham presented the staff report. <br /> Mayor Dietz questioned if this type of vehicle ages faster due to being utilized less <br /> than other vehicles. <br /> Chief Cunningham stated the truck is 25 years old and in good condition considering <br /> its age. He further stated his department has been working on ways to utilze the <br /> vehicle more due to minor changes that have been made to upgrade it. <br /> Moved by Councilmember Westgaard and seconded by Councilmember <br /> Burandt to approve a total project budget of$246,209.50 for the refurbishment <br /> of Ladder Truck 1. Motion carried 4-0. <br /> Burning Ban <br /> Mayor Dietz questioned if the city is still under a burning ban due to dry conditions. <br /> Chief Cunningham stated the city is under burning restrictions,which means the <br /> public can have a recreational fire but stated he urges extreme caution. He stated <br /> even if a legal recreation fire gets out of control, a person can be hit with some hefty <br /> fines from the state and pay the costs of the incident. <br /> 8.2 Gravel Mining Plan <br /> Mr. Barnhart presented the staff report. He noted this Plan is the first step for the <br /> overall vision of this area. He stated Council will need to continue to review the area <br /> to see if the city's expectations of land uses are appropriate for the constraints of the <br /> area, such as transportation and taxing. He stated once the Plan is accepted by <br /> Council, staff will move forward studying the costs/implications for providing <br /> infrastructure, such as water and sewage treatment facilities. He stated staff would <br /> then come back to Council to possibly change land uses or redirect some of the <br /> density or phasing. <br /> Mayor Dietz questioned how staff would utilize this Plan when requests (such as <br /> zoning) come forward. <br /> Mr. Barnhart stated the Plan would be shared with the public so they know Council's <br /> expectations for the area. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard stated it is important the city accepts the Plan and to <br /> have as another step in giving property owners an opportunity to see what the city <br /> envisions in the future. He noted actual phasing will be based on property owner <br /> goals and the timing at which they are ready to move forward. <br /> P O w E R E U 9 1 <br /> 1`4 U <br />
