Taking the vehicles home are an <br />advantage for the employee and also Minnegasco. He understood the ordinance to say if an <br />individual drives a vehicle home, they would have to have it screened or garaged and/or put a <br />surface down to park that vehicle on. Some of the service technicians have contacted him about <br />this screening and they would like to leave that vehicle in the yard; thereby, allowing them to be <br />ready for an emergency situation should it arise. He added that the vans am in good shape - they <br />are not an eye sore. <br /> <br />City Council/June 25, 1996 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
