ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—October 12, 2009 4 4. Consent Calendar (continued) and to authorize execution of all necessary documents contained therein. The motion carried unanimously (3-0). 5. PULLED CONSENT ITEMS A. Motion to Authorize Staff to Enter into an Agreement with Safe Assure Services Inc. for Safety Consultant and Training Services for the Time Period of October 2009 to December 2010 in an Amount Not to Exceed $3,000. Public Works Director Hoag stated that City Staff has been exploring options for OSHA related training. The cities of Little Canada, Vadnais Heights, and Falcon Heights have been using Safe Assure Services Inc. for the past several years. The three cities have formed a group and rotate host facilities for the bi-monthly training. Arden Hills has inquired about joining the group and Safe Assure believes that allowing Arden Hills to join the group will allow them to continue to offer the same level of service to all and possibly add a second training session of the same topic to help with overall scheduling. The cost to join the group will be $1,700 for the year 2010. In addition, to keep Staff in compliance for 2009, the City will need to complete some additional training and review of our existing policy manual. The cost of this additional training and policy manual review will be $1,300. This is a budgeted item in the general fund and enterprise accounts. Councilmember Holden asked what the City was paying Integrated Loss Control Inc. (ILC) for services. Public Works Director Hoag stated that the City was paying about $3,200. - Councilmember Holden asked if this works into the 2010 budget. Finance Director Sue Iverson stated that since the item was budgeted for in the 2009 budget it would be budgeted for in the 2010 budget. Councilmember Holden asked if the training provided was for all City Staff. Public Works Director Hoag clarified that the training was for all City Staff but primarily for the Public Works Department. Councilmember Holden asked for clarification regarding the difference in the Budgeted amount of$12,167 and the actual amount of$3,000.
