Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 17, 2016 Page 5 Section 901.12 Councilmember Laliberte asked why day care facilities were called out in this language while assisted living or nursing home facilities were not. Chief O’Neill responded that those facilities were inspected by the State of Min- nesota, while day care facilities were inspected by local fire departments by trained personnel to do those inspections. Section 902.07 (lines 161-163) Councilmember McGehee asked why tank farms were no longer inspected, or if some other state or federal agency inspected them. Chief O’Neill clarified that they were still inspected by the fire department, with staff retaining a good relationship with those entities. Chief O’Neill advised that annual suppression inspections of racks at those facilities were done. However, Chief O’Neill clarified that the intent of this reading isn’t that those inspections are no longer done, only that the City Council doesn’t have to annually review those permits. Staff was directed to refine the document again before presentation to the City Council for their review and approval. b.Review Finalist Proposals for the Comprehensive Plan Update; Receive Presentations and Conduct Consultant Interviews (PROJ-0037) Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd summarized the intent of tonight’s interview by the City Council of the two finalists proposals for the comprehensive plan update as detailed in the RCA, and the process to-date.

Mr. Lloyd advised that at that time, staff would also provide the City Council with aggregate survey results obtained from all forms of community in- put received up to that time. For the benefit of the public, Mayor Roe noted that a paper copy of that survey was included in meeting packet materials and identified as RCA Exhibit E; and later asked Mr. Lloyd to briefly summarize the document.
