City Council Minutes Page 4 <br />April G, 2015 <br />S. � Fire Department Ladder 0 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 />lAMEAEA er <br />INATURE-1 <br />
