Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 24, 2012 Page 31 Mayor Roe duly noted Councilmember McGehee's clarification. Mayor Roe opined that it made sense to have the engagement between the Chief and Wal-Mart; and was pleased to see a provision for quarterly meetings and an ability to renegotiate as applicable. Councilmember McGehee spoke in opposition to the motion for the reasons previous stated. Roll Call Ayes: Johnson; Willmus; Pust; and Roe. Nays: McGehee. Motion carried. Councilmember Pust expressed her hope that Wal-Mart would consider the City of Roseville's well-trained staff for off-duty security. At the request of Councilmember Johnson, Chief Mathwig reviewed the prac- tice for off-duty Roseville officers choosing to serve as private security when off-duty as private contractors; with nothing funded through the City as over- time, but still authorized to wear their uniforms and be armed. At the request of Councilmember Johnson, Chief Mathwig noted the differences in the practice of the City of Bloomington in their practice to fund their off-duty officers working private security at overtime rates through the City's system, with an added fi- nance charge above that overtime rate. Chief Mathwig noted that this practice is considered too costly for most cities, and was not recommending it. Chief Mathwig advised that many off-duty Roseville police officers currently are working in similar capacities at other retailers throughout the community; and it provided additional public safety for the entire community. e. Community Development Department Request to Declare the Vacant Ac- cessory Structure located at 2609 Snelling Curve as a hazardous Building and to Order its Repair or Removal Permit Coordinator Don Munson summarized the request to declare the vacant accessory structure at 2609 Snelling Curve as a hazardous building and order its repair, removal or razing; as detailed in the RCA dated September 24, 2012. Mr. Munson reviewed previous consideration of this issue by the City Council this year, and request of the owner to defer the original abatement request as they were in the process of selling the property. With nothing further having happened, staff was now recommending this action to ensure follow-through by the property owner, Olta Holdings, LLC. Mr. Munson noted that the property owner was not present.
