Case #8: Report From Fire Safety Committee: <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that the Fire Safety Committee met to establish <br />timetables for developing a financial plan and establishing a proposed <br />organizational plan for the fire department . <br /> <br />Mr. Dave Bawden stated that the Committee is very concerned about an <br />advisory question regarding a volunteer fire department being included on <br />the April 19 ballot regarding the airport safety zoning ordinance. The <br />Committee feels that the special election will attract only negative voters <br />because of the airport issue and it will be an unfair representation of how <br />the community really feels about a volunteer fire department. The <br />alternatives recommended are: delete the fire department question from the <br />April 19 ballot, choose another election date to include a question on the <br />fire department or solicit a professional public opinion poll of the fire <br />department. <br /> <br />Council noted that the fire department question to be included on the April <br />19 ballot is advisory and not binding; the special election is the most <br />cost effective way to get a fairly reasonable indication of how the <br />community feels about a volunteer fire department and this issue should be <br />brought up for further discussion when all councilmembers are present. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to <br />table further discussion of the report from the Fire Safety Committee until <br />the February 9 City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca and <br />Pearson. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmembers Sorteberg and Cox. <br /> <br />Case #9: Designate Uses For 1988 CDBG Funds: <br /> <br />Ms. Norris reported that a decision has to be made regarding the use of <br />1988 CDBG Funds. <br /> <br />Councilmember DeLuca volunteered to work with city staff to prepare <br />recommendations for the use of 1988 CDBG Funds. <br /> <br />Council directed that use of CDBG Funds be placed on the February 9 Council <br />agenda. <br /> <br />¢~se #10: Railroad Realignment: <br /> <br />A map was presented showing the proposed railroad realignment on Ramsey's <br />zoning map. <br /> <br />Council consensus was that the Road and Bridge Committee should review the <br />proposed railroad realignment, costs and available funding sources and <br />report back to City Council with a recommendation. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich have a brief status report on the subject on establishing <br />Dayton-Port as a public railroad crossing and closing the crossing on Puma <br />Street; one specific issue that will be coming before Council for approval <br />City Council/January 26, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 10 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
