1. Call to Order
Mayor Brian Stumpf called the special meeting to order at 4 p.m.
2. Assistant Fire Chief Discussion
Fire Chief Mike Mossey presented a proposal for a full-time Deputy Fire Chief. It was
noted that the biggest need for the position is the time commitment required by the
current chief and others in the department. If approved, the position would be responsible
for: administrative tasks; Fire Marshall — safety inspections; department management —
personnel issues, safety meetings, training; and truck and station maintenance; and City
Emergency Management Plan. The position would cost the city approximately $84,902-
$102,320. Chief Mossey suggested using alternative sources of funding, including
revenue for conducting inspections. There was discussion on the specifics of the job
description and the need for any additional city staff support. Chief Mossey didn't think
additional administrative support would be needed.
3. Solid Waste Funding Program
A Council Connection, by Finance Director Wayne Oberg, from October 23, 2017, City
Council Agenda Packet was discussed. This memo addressed the fee for four or multi-
unit residences with refuse and recycling cars. This charge applies to mobile home parks,
homeowner associations, and fourplexes or larger. Kirk Kjellberg addressed the City
Council. Mr. Kjellberg owns a mobile home park and is concerned that the city is
discriminating against manufactured homes. He referenced a state statute that states that
manufactured homes must be treated the same as other residences. He commented that
each mobile home receives its own tax statement and, therefore, should receive refuse
service the same as other single family homeowners. Mr. Kjellberg stated that these
charges are unfair and that he will seek further action if not rectified.
Staff feels that the city's current charges are fair and reasonable. Discussion ensued
among the City Council. There was disagreement among council members on how to
charge for refuse for these units. Mayor Stumpf doesn't think that these units should be
charged the salve as apartment buildings. No action was taken on the item.
