Case #24: Purchase of Squad Cars <br /> <br />Chief Auspos explained that the Hennepin County Purchasing Agency establishes the cut-off date <br />for ordering squad cars from the successful bidder. This year the cut-off date is August 20, 1990 <br />which is prior to the adoption of the City of Ramsey's 1991 Budget. Chief Auspos requested City <br />Council permission to place an order for two squad cars prior to August 20, 1990. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to authorize the Police <br />Chief to place an order for two squad cars through the Hennepin County Purchasing Agency. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember DeLuca noted that the Budget Committee has been meeting <br />and is in favor of purchasing two squad cars in 1991 but the budget process is not far enough <br />along to know how those squads will be funded. <br /> <br />Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Cich, DeLuca, Pearson and <br />Peterson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #19: Adopt Ordinance Changing 147th Circle N.W. to 146th Circle N.W. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Cich to adopt Ordinance 4/90- <br />18 changing 147th Circle N.W. to 146th Circle N.W. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca, Cich, Pearson and <br />Peterson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #20: Redesignation of City Engineer <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to adopt Resolution <br />41:90-08-267 appointing Steven Jankowski as City Engineer. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Cich, Pearson, DeLuca and <br />Peterson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley noted that Mr. Jankowski has made application but is currently not registered as a <br />professional engineer in the State of Minnesota. Until that certification is made, Peter Raatikka will <br />continue to sign as Ramsey's Certified Engineer. <br /> <br />Councilmember DeLuca inquired if Mr. Jankowski will be able to take over all responsibilities of <br />the City Engineer when his support staff is not yet available. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley reported that projects are being transferred daily from Hakanson Anderson to Mr. <br />Jankowski. However, in the past the City has purchased engineering time that amounted to five <br />man years and even when the City's Engineering Department is fully staffed with three persons, it <br />will not be totally self-sufficient. <br /> <br />Case #21: Appointments to the Charter Commission <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley noted that there are vacancies on the Charter Commission and advised City Council to <br />make recommendations to the Chief District Court Justice to appoint members to the Charter <br />Commission. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL/AUGUST 14, 1990 <br /> Page 18 of 20 <br /> <br /> <br />
