Voting No: None. <br /> <br />b) City Policy_ l~_arSing_ .~ng_ l~oa~ - <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated that he received a call regarding Ramsey's response time <br />to sanding in icy conditions and he has discussed the matter with Police Chief <br />Auspos, Public Works Superintendent Mevissen and City Administrator Hartley. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that statutes say that the city does not have liability for <br />sa~ slippery and snowy areas; how reliable this is now and in the future is <br />not known. Mr. Goodrich stated that when the city knows slippery conditions <br />exist, it is important that the city do something about it. The city is not <br />expected to eliminate slippery areas 100%, but must do what is reasonable to <br />remedy the conditions, especially upon receiving calls of dangerous areas. <br /> <br />Mr. ~artley stated that he, Mr. Auspos and Mr. Mevissen have discussed fine <br />tuning the process for determining when it is necessary to call out the sanding <br />crews. When the city gets a call of slippery conditions, an officer will <br />proceed to judge whether or not there is justifiction to call out the sanding <br />crews and act accordingly. If more than one complaint is received, the ~fficer <br />will rethink his judgement; there has to be a balance between calling out the <br />crews at any time and when it is dangerous. During normal working hours, the <br />sanding crews will be informed of slippery areas and they will respond as soon <br />as reasonable and upon officer direction, immediately. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated that he feels this policy is sufficient and wanted other <br />councilmembers to be aware of it. <br /> <br />c) Discussion regarding mayor's state-of-the-city address and Council goals <br /> and objectives for 1987 - <br /> <br />Mayor Peimann requested oouncilmsmbers to be prepared to state their 1987 goals <br />and objectives at the January 27 council m~eting. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich noted that the city charter also requires that the make give a <br />state-of-the-city report. <br /> <br />d) <br /> <br />Inadequa_ cies in most recent i~ue of N.W.
