Minutes of Regular Council Meeting Monday, April 23, 1984 Page Two Vehicle Rental for Summer Months Council was referred to Johansen's memo of 4/17/84 and attached quotes from five rental agencies. Concerns expressed relative to the proposed rental of Johansen's personal vehicle: 1. Not green in color. 2. Insurance coverage, which Johansen said he would check out with the Hite Agency (City's agent). A. Covered by City or Johansen's policy? B. Deductible Collision coverage? 3. Probably not a good precedent to set. 4. Not a full-sized truck. . After discussion, Hicks moved, seconded by Christiansen, that Council authorize the rental of Johansen's truck for the three Summer months at $400/month as per memo. In further discussion, Mulcahy said he does not feel it is a wise general policy, but is willing to try it one year. Rauenhorst - sajd she sees no advantage to the City when a Road King or Courier can be rented at $420/month. Motion carried (Hicks, Christiansen, Mulcahy voting in favor; Rauenhorst, Woodburn voting in opposition). (3-2) Employees Uniform Service Council was referred to Public Works Committee Minutes, and to Johansen's memo of 4/19/84. Johansen reported that the Public Works Committee recommends Council approval of the Public Works Employees uniform allowance proposal as outlined in the memo; reported that the proposal is acceptable to the Public Works and Parks Department employees; noted that if the proposal does not prove to be satisfactory, and Council wishes to discontinue the allowance, rental of uniform service can be resumed. Johansen reported that Roseville follows a similar practice, and has experienced no problems. Christiansen moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council approve the uniform allowance proposal as outlined. Motion carried (Christiansen, Hicks, Woodburn voting in favor of the motion; Rauenhorst and Mulcahy voting in opposition). (3-2) Summer Public Works Employees Council was referred to Johansen's memo (4-17-84) re Summer Employees. Hicks moved, seconded by Christiansen, that Council approve the . employment of Steve Zehm, Bruce Landman and Steve Oen as out- lined in the memo. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Discussion - Financing Additional Water Tower Woodburn reported that the arsenal wants to know soon whether Arden Hills will provide water to the arsenal and, if so, what the charges would be. Woodburn referred Council to several tables he had prepared re how the sale of water to the arsenal will affect the City. Mulcahy queried the City's need for another water tower; suggested that the City's need for a water tower is different from the need for a water tower to serve water to the arsenal. Rauenhorst noted that "water for the arsenal" is not on the agenda; therefore Council should not discuss water to the arsenal tonight.
