(Continued) <br /> Councilmember Paurus stated that nobody is objecting <br /> to the fact that the bridges need improve:lents but <br /> that public safety and emergencies were of r�ajor <br /> concern. <br /> Response time in getting emergency vehicles to <br /> the scene was discussed. Chief of Police I:ilbo <br /> i.nforr.�ed the City Council of a rneeting he had had <br /> with contracting fire chiefs which included all <br /> other eraergency problems . All agreed that they <br /> would cooperate but they did not know what the <br /> difierence in response time would be. <br /> Traffic that would be crowding certain streets <br /> was another problem discussed. It was determined <br /> that the County should be made a�ea�e of a serious <br /> traffic problern and be requested to help solve it. <br /> P�assengale moved, Butler seconded, to request <br /> Dick Benson, City Adninistrator, to write a letter <br /> to the County stating Orono' s concerns of the <br /> above issues and to request the County ' s help <br /> with the problems . *2otion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . <br /> lir. Alan Olson, City Planner, entered into the BUILDIPIG IrdSPECTIOL7 <br /> record the following rler_Zo concerning building SERVICES <br /> inspection services, dated i�arch 26, 1979 , which <br /> states : <br /> A. CIiY OF P4EDIi1A - PZedina has notified Orono that <br /> they have hired their own building inspector <br /> effective April l, 1979. By the end of April, <br /> our work in l�edina will have been conpleted <br /> and our contract will have been terninated. <br /> B. CITY OF P�iINI1�iONKA BEACH - After reviewing the <br /> work load and percentac?e of time spent on <br /> various tasks as compared to the amount of <br /> contract income received, I have determined <br /> that our r.lethod of billing for costs should <br /> be revised from a flat rate per inspection <br /> to an hourly cost. Consequently, I art recom- <br /> nending that our inspections contract with <br /> 22innetonka Beach be ar_tended to change the <br /> inspection fee from $25 per call to $16. 50 <br /> per hour. [�7e would continue to charge the $25 <br /> per month retainer to the City and the norrlal <br /> plan review fee to the builder. I feel that <br /> this change will be easy to administer, �vill <br /> accurately cover our costs and �aill better <br /> �eflect our time involvement. I4innetonka <br /> Beach has been advised of this sugc�ested <br /> change and they concur. <br />
