<br />12. City of Circle Pines Proposal for Joint Building Inspections (Update) <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated he would like to hear the comments of Mr. Palzer concerning <br />the proposal of Circle Pines for joint building inspections. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she had talked to the City Administrator from Circle Pines <br />and was told that Circle Pines is still interested in working with Centerville for joint <br />building inspections. She then indicated that she had been asked to notify the City <br />Administrator from Circle Pines of Council's decision the morning following the meeting <br />as he needed to sign a contract with the contingency inspector. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked for a recommendation from Ms. Moore-Sykes. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she was concerned with how Staff time could be split to <br />ensure that the same amount of Staff time would be devoted to building inspections in <br />Centerville as in Circle Pines. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson commented that with the proposal of Circle Pines to pay 145% <br />of the cost of wages to do Circle Pines inspections, taking into account overtime paid at <br />time and a half, the City of Centerville would be paying Circle Pines 5% to do their <br />inspections. <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer indicated that he felt there would need to be an additional public works person <br />and an intern hired by the City to accommodate the work load increase. He then stated he <br />felt there needed to be more research into the specifics of what the proposal would cost <br />the City before agreeing to the contract. Mr. Palzer recommended turning down the offer <br />at this time as the City needs to do more research and Circle Pines has indicated it does <br />have a contingency plan in place should Centerville not agree to the contract. <br /> <br />It was the consent of Council to turn down the offer of Circle Pines for joint building <br />inspections. <br /> <br />13. Lions Haunted House <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that she felt it may be prudent to have the fire inspector <br />make sure the haunted house passes fire codes due to liability reasons. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Lions would be providing an <br />insurance certificate for the event. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that, even with an insurance certificate, the City could <br />be held responsible as the event is held in a city-owned building. <br /> <br />It was the consent of Council to ask the fire inspector to check the haunted house for <br />compliance with fire codes. <br /> <br />Page 16 of23 <br />
