Council (K) ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS (L) ADJOURNMENT ADDENDUM TO THE AGENDA Meeting No. 71 -7 I T E M D -1* The Planning Commission recommends denial of the request for vacation of part of Payne Avenue north of Larpenteur and approval of the other requested vacations with con- ditions regarding payment of assessments and reversion of the ownership of the sanitary sewer on Kingston. The staff concurs with the Commission's recommendations. G -1 Awards will be presented to Councilmen Greavu and Wiegert for service to the Ramsey County League by Mr. Romero. H -1* It is recommended that the new Federal -State holiday schedule be adopted. Lincoln's Birthday (under our present system) provided a 10th holiday for 1971 and alleviates any need prior to 1972. We contacted 8 communities in Ramsey County, six of which have adopted the new schedule. Of the two which have not yet adopted t'e schedule, one is awaiting the outcome of the 49er negoti_- .tions and the other is considering the new schedule with extra days. Of those adopting the new schedule, four provide for the 9 days and two added extra days. The 49er negotiations may or may not change the situation. H -2 Acceptance is recommended. A final bill is being prepared. It is reported that the bill will be about 10% lower than was originally estimated. H -3 This item should be stricken from the agenda. H -4* The Village of North St. Paul requests approval of the concepts set forth in my memo of February 4. You authorized the condemnation of right -of -way for the intersection, but did not approve the concepts set forth in the memo. The approval, which is recommended, will cause North St. Paul to revise its plans for presentation to Maplewood. I -1 Several refuse haulers have failed to meet our insurance or bond requirements. They were informed that if they did not do so on or before February 17, 1971 their licenses would be suspended and that they should appear before the Council and show cause why the suspensions should not be- come permanent. I suspect that all or most will be correct- ed prior to the deadline. I -7.* The Parks and Recreation Commission has requested that the Council take action to request that the Winter Carnival treasure hunt not be located in Maplewood again. A list of damages is enclosed. I believe the St. Paul Pioneer Press - Dispatch is the sponsor of the hunt. I -3* Planned unit developmenets for the northwest corner of DeSoto & Larpenteur (Ed Hillstrom) and the southwest corner of Stillwater Road and Stillwater Avenue (Inland Construction Corporation - Zacho property) have been pro- posed and hearing dates should be set for late March or early April. I -4* The change is architectural and approval is recommended by the staff and the Planning Commission. I -5* Both lot divisions are recommended, one (Atlantic Street) with the condition that outstanding deferred assessments be paid. I -6 It is recommended that the Building Inspector be placed on a regular retainer payment method rather than being paid by a portion of the permits issued. The payments to the Building Inspector has ranged from $9,785. to $8,762. over the last three years. An annual fee of $11,000 to be paid monthly, is recommended. This compares with the $10,800. to be paid the Assistant Building Inspector. Building permits alone returned $30,450. in 1970. I -7 This agreement will turn the Battle Creek interceptor sewer over to the Board. We receive credits on our bills for it. Approval is recommended. I -8 Tight specifications for the furnishing, delivery, installation and 12 month maintenance of emer,oncy vehicle optical signal phase selection equipment have been prepared for the following locations: 1.

They presently are licensed to operate on Wednesday nights only. Section 802.020 (a) of the Municipal Code allows up to two nights for one association. Approval is recommender',.
