Hansen moved, seconded by Sather, that Council approve the Class B Charitable Gambling License for St. Peter Claver Church at the Big Ten Supper Club, waiving the thirty day waiting period. Motion carried unanimously. (3-0) Report of Fire Consultant William Quirk Quirk distributed copies of his recommendations to Council which are based on his study of the City in general, numbers and types of fires from 1983 through . March of 1986, fire losses, zoning maps and ordinance, map of water mains, previous flow tests and ISO recommendations for the City. Quirk reviewed his recommendations which included: Enactment of a smoke detector ordinance and sprinkler ordinance. Alternative fire station locations for better coverage of the built-up areas of the City. Addition of aerial and ladder service trucks. Initiation of a fire prevention program. Adoption of Appendix E of Uniform Fire Code. In discussion, Quirk was asked if a second water tower is a major issue. Quirk said it is; water must be available for fire fighting; noted that more water availability is also attractive to business. Quirk was asked if it would be advantageous for the City to apply for a new ISO rating now; Quirk recommended that the City wait until it has "everything in . place" (pumper, ladder, fire prevention, smoke detectors, etc.). Council took the recommendations of Consultant Quirk under advisement. Hansen moved, seconded by Sather, to schedule a special study meeting on Tuesday, August 12, at 7:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. (3-0) Reconsideration of Park Maintenance Salary Increase In an effort to rectify an administrative error which divided $1,000 between two parks maintenance employees instead of 3 office employees, as authorized by Council, Sather moved to approve the additional 24 cents per hour for the two parks employees, retroactive to July I, 1986, to be paid out of the Park Fund. Motion was seconded by Hansen. In discussion, it was noted that this additional increase would bring them above the average of other communities. Sather reported that the Parks Committee wants the parks employees treated the same as other workers in this community; stated their expertise in their field is similar to the expertise in Public Works and other job categories; noted they are not subject to "on-call" or "standby", which is possibly a reason for a wage difference, but feels a big disparity exists. Motion carried (Sather, Hansen voting in favor of the motion; Woodburn voting in opposition).
