Council Open Forum <br /> <br />Councilmember Motin indicated that he received the update from the Energy City <br />Commission regarding the E85 fuel and the information provided was not. what he was <br />looking for. He stated he would like to establish a requirement for new and expanding gas <br />stations to carry the E85 fuel and he thought it would be good for the Energy City <br />Commission to take the lead on establishing this requirement. <br /> <br />Mayor I<linzing indicated that was not understood by the Energy City Commission and that <br />she will bring this request back to the Commission for discussion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Farber stated that it has been brought to his attention that not all <br />commercial buildings are required to have sprinkler systems unless they are occupied by <br />certain types of tenants. He stated that he believes that all commercial buildings of a certain <br />size should be required to have a sprinkler system. He noted that he has discussed this issue <br />with Fire Chief Bruce West and he has expressed interest in seeing this requirement changed. <br />Mr. Beck indicated that the sprinkler requirements are established in the building code and <br />that this issue should be discussed with Building Official Bob Ruprecht and Fire Chief Bruce <br />West. <br /> <br />Councilmember Farber indicated that he would like staff to implement a way for uses within <br />a Planned Unit Development to be specifically outlined in the PUD. He stated that the <br />Council currently has control over what types of buildings go in but not over what uses are <br />within those buildings. <br /> <br />City Attorney Peter Beck stated that the city has included the specific uses in the PUD in the <br />past but it required the PUD contract to continually be amended as new tenants moved in <br />and was very difficult. <br /> <br />It was the corisensus of the Council that they would like to have a way to control the type of <br />uses within a PUD. The Council would like to discuss this issue during their discussion with <br />Community Development Director Scott Clark a future worksession. <br /> <br />Councilmember Gumphrey stated that he will be unable to attend the February Utilities <br />Commission meeting and would like former commissioner John Dietz to attend in his <br />absence.
