The Council agreed to reappoint Gary Reimann and Richard Netzloff as Quad Cities Cable Commission Delegates. The assignment of administrative duties in the absence of the City Administrator is to be left open until the Personnel Committee can make a recommendation. Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Cich to adopt Resolution gO 1- 01-006, a resolution for 1991 Council organization. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Beyer, Cich, Hardin and Peterson. Voting No: None. Finance Officer Ashley explained that Merland Otto has served as the City's liaison in the past regarding solid waste issues and public hearings are scheduled for January 16 and 17, regarding the Metropolitan Council's Draft Solid Waste Management Development Guide/Policy Plm~. She asked if the Council wishes to have Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. continue working on the solid waste issues relating to Site P, and do they wish to appoint a committee to work with landfill- related issues. City Engineer Jankowski stated he has not yet been brought up to speed on the developments of Site P; however, he will be attending those meetings in the future. If Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. has been in an observatory role for the City, he felt he would now be able to represent the City. However, if Hakanson Anderson has been actively preparing documents for testimony, he felt it would be in the City's best interest to retain them for this issue. At this time, the Councilmembers asked Mr. Jankowski to determine the amount of involvement of Hakanson Anderson on the Site P issue. They agreed to have Mr. Jankowski and the Mayor represent the City at the public hearing, noting the City has some time after the heatings in which to reply. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer that the City of Ramsey send Steve Jankowski, City Engineer, and Mayor Gilbertson to the public heatings on January 16 and 17 on the Draft Solid Waste Management Development Guide/Policy Plm~. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Peterson, Beyer, Cich and Hardin. Voting No: None. Motion by Councilmernber Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Cich to adopt Resolution #91- 01-007 designating financial institutions as official depositories of City funds for 1991. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Beyer, Cich, Hardin and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #2: Short-term Disability for the Ramsey Fire Department Ms. McAloney explained that this matter is before the City Council again because of the changes from what was originally approved by the Council. No physicals are required. Mayor Gilbertson and Councilmember Cich had reservations about making a decision at this meeting because they have not had time to study all the new information given them this evening. Fire Chief David Griffin felt it would be in the City's best interest to look at the short-term disability issue at this time. The original proposal was at an expense of $5,700.00 per year to the City; this plan is only $615.00 per year and will provide coverage to the fire fighters in case of an injury on duty.
