The reclamation system reduces water use from 20 gallons/vehicle to 5 gallons/vehicle. This will significantly reduce the impact of the car wash on the City's sewer and water systems. Based upon this preliminary information, it appears that the City will be able to provide municipal services to your proposed car wash, however, there are more steps for you to follow before the total system is approved. It is my understanding that the site must be rezoned before your proposal can proceed. I would recommend that you contact Charles Tooker on those issues. Once you've secured the appropriate zoning, you will have to receive additional permits (building, sewer, water, conditional use, etc.) . At that time, you will be required to submit site specific engineering plans and designs for the carwash. I will do a thorough evaluation for your proposals and its impact on the City's infrastructure during the permit process. If you have any questions, or need additional information, please contact me.

NAME: Ken Kuchera DEPARTMENT: Fire 4214°41—: DATE: March 13, 198940 MEETING DATE: March 20, 1989 CATEGORY: New Business SUBJECT: Firefighter Wage Reimbursement EXPLANATION: Michael Pesek, as a probationary firefighter, is required to attend Firefighter I Training totalling 72 hours. Due to Mike's work schedule, he has to take a pay dock of one hour on the Mondays he is scheduled to work. I am requesting Mr. Pesek be paid his hourly firefighter rate during attendance at $5.25 per hour. 54 hours total will be requested for payment totalling $283.50. REFERENCE MATERIAL/RESPONSIBILITY: See attached memo. REFERRED TO: (NAME) DEPARTMENT: Larry Thompson Administration Wayne Henneke Finance Ken Kuchera Fire SIGNATURE MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBJECT: FIREFIGHTER WAGE REIMBURSEMENT DATE: MARCH 16, 1989 Attached please find a request for a wage reimbursement for a firefighter and a recommendation from the Finance Director. While I share the Finance Director's concerns, I feel they are superseded by the circumstances of this case. It wasn't too long ago that the Fire Department had a long waiting list of persons wanting to join the Fire Department. Now it is becoming more difficult to recruit qualified individuals. I feel this, coupled with the increasing mandated training requirements, means that the City should become more tolerant with these types of requests. The school in question is a required course and the individuals work schedule does not allow him to attend any of the offered courses without missing work. I would therefore recommend that the wage reimbursement of $283.50 be approved. Further, I would recommend that the reimbursement be funded through Fire Department wages at this time. It is probable that the Fire Department wages will require a budget adjustment in the future if the increased Fire Department related activity trend continues. 4%77D Tho son City Administrator cc: Wayne Henneke Ken Kuchera file DATE: February 15, 1989 SUBJECT; Wage Compensation MEMO TO: Wayne Henneke, Finance Director The probationary period for a new firefighter is one year with one of the requirements being to complete Firefighter One training within that one year period. Due to the work schedule of one of our newer members, Mike Pesek, he is presently attending the daytime Firefigher One class. The total length of this course is 25 weeks with classes being held every Monday morning for three hours. Unfortunately, Mike has to take a one hour pay dock each Monday from his job with. Northwest Airlines. Per his request, i am requesting Fire Department hourly wage ($5.25/hour) compensation for Mike Pesek's hours involved attending this required course. Understanding, hourly compensation will only be paid for the Monday he is scheduled to work on his regular job. At three hours per week for 25 weeks, the total maximum amount being reimbursed would be $393.75. The present schools and conference portion of the budget would be greatly reduced to furnish this amount of reimbursement. Hopefully, other means of funding can be provided to satisfy this request if approved. I also understand that this will set no precedent with future requests being handled on a case by case basis. Ken Kuchera, Fire Chief cc: Larry Thompson Mike Pesek Memo to: Larry Thompson Date March 14 , 1989 Re Firefighter Wage Reimbursement The Fire Chief is requesting a $283 . 50 reimbursement to Michael Pesek for wages lost while attending a class required of all new firefighters . It is unfortunate that Mr . Pesek 's pay is docked by his employer while attending Firefighter I training. At the same time, it is not the City's responsibility to become financially responsible for lost wages of volunteer firefighters while fighting a fire or participating in any type of training sessions . This is the first request for this type of reimbursement the City has received . If it is approved , it probably will not be the last. If the City Council approves the request , funding should not come out of contingency. It should be charged to schools & conferences . If funding is not available in schools & conferences the funding should be through a budget adjustment to schools & conferences from another account within the Fire Department . Wayne E.
