Regular Council Meeting January l], 1982 page 4 January 11, 1982 by: Jo-Anne Student, Secretary to the Countil ~ruce G. Kawrocki, Mayor b. First Reading of Ordinance No.988 being an ordinance giving preliminary approval to a project under the municipal industrial development act referring the proposal to the Commissioner of Energy, Planning and Development for approval and authorizing preparation of necessary documents. This proposed ordinance will provide for industrial development revenue bonds for construction of Anderson's House of Furniture. Councilman Hentges had a number of questions relating to how this type of financifig for this project would bene- fit the City. Since the proposed location for this business i~ not part of the downtown development project he felt it should be reviewed more thoroughly before any action i§ taken on the ordinance. Motion by Hentges, second by Norberg to table this ordinance and that it should be sent to the Planning & Zoning Commission, Traffic Commission and the Housing & Redevelopment Authority Board. Roll call: Hovland, Petkoff, Norberg, Hentges--aye Nawrocki--nay c. Resolution 82-0l being a resolution establishing fee schedules for building construct- ion, plumbing, heating, gas piping, air conditioning, refrigeration, wrecking and moving, fire suppression, and other related construction work. The City Manager and members of the staff spoke to the ordinance, particularly in the areas where fees have been changed, and to major revisions regarding heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Mayor Nawrocki and Councilman Norberg had concerns with charges that appeared to be punitive rather than mere increases. They were concerned that these charges would result in penalties and not in the policy as intended, that being one of service. Councilman Hentges ~iewed the need for some of these permits to be issued so there was some insurance that a job would be completed correctly. Discussion followed regardinq some of the concerns of the members of the Council and practices of the past on these fees. Mo~ion by Hentges, second by Hovland to waive the readinQ of the resolution there being ample copies available to the public. Roll call: All ayes Councilman Norberg still felt some of the fees were being established that would not ef- fectively reflect the City's policy, as did Mayor Nawrocki. Motion by Norberg, second by Nawrocki to table this matter for modifications reflecting some of the objections and suggestions that have been offered. Roll call: Norberg, Nawr- ocki--aye HovIand, Petkoff, Hentges--nay Motion fails. Motion to amend by Hentges, second by Norberg to delete that section on page 7 that deals with "Other Inspections and Fees". Roll call on amendment: All ayes Motion to amend by Norberg, second by Petkoff to add language on page 5 of the resolution that addressed when fees are doubled. The City Attorney questioned if this amendment would be permissible under the building code if it were adopted and felt that what Councilman Norberg was trying to accomp]ish with the amendment was incorporated in the licensing practices of the City. Roll call on amendment: Norberg--aye Hovland, Pe[koff, Hentges, Nawrocki--nay Motion to amend fails.
