B^rnhardson, City Administrator <br />DATE: March 20, 1990 <br />SUBJECT: Administrator's Information <br />COUNCIL MEET1N8 <br />MAR 2 >1990 <br />dTYOFORONO <br />FIRE COVERAGE ZONES - Attached please find th^ curr<»nt fir<? <br />coverage zone plus the previous one that was effective through <br />1984. The reduction in Fire Zone #4, Wayzata, was primarily due <br />to the areas that they covered did not have hydrants and that the <br />City of rfayzata did not have a tanker on an initial response to <br />support those. <br />WELL DRILLING/TEST - The City's well up on Highway 12 will be <br />pump tested for a~period of 10 days, 24 hours a day. It is <br />expected that a substantial amount of wat»r will b« flowing <br />during this period of time, eventually ending up in Long Lake. <br />The initial day or two of pumping will require free flow in the <br />ditches. It should be additionally not^d that as the well is <br />drilled through the cap stone bedrock the driller will be using <br />small dynamite charges so there may be some explosion noises in <br />the area. The Police will review these in advance of their <br />usage. <br />POLICE OFFICER - PART TIME - Mr. Derek Palkki commenced <br />emproyment as a part time oFficer with the City on March 12, <br />1990. <br />POLICE VEHICLE REPLACEMENT PLAN - Attached is a copy of the <br />cTatTTTeS replacement pfan as requested by the Council at their <br />3/12/90 meeting. <br />BEAVER TRAPPING - In response to a request regarding the trapping <br />season vTs-a-vis the birth of the young beavers, the beavers are <br />b'jcn in the winter and generally in the spring time they are self <br />sufficient. It is our understanding from the Conservation <br />Officer that trapping between 15 March and 30 April and removal <br />of the parents should not be detrimental to the young at this <br />point. (The entire beaver season starts in November and goes <br />through April.) <br />PLANNING/PARK COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS - An advertisement was <br />placed for these positions with a closing date of March 26, 1990. <br />Applications will be presented to the Council at their April 9th <br />meeting. <br />ORONO INTERCEPTOR/MWCC - As you have noted there is concern <br />regarding the Metro interceptor pipe under the Coffee Bridge, <br />This issue came to light during the dredging for the bridge and <br />the concern that by dredging out additional sediment that this <br />might expose the sewer pipe to being hit by others and ultimately
