' MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS SPACE NEEDS
DATE: APRIL 1, 1993
Attached you will find the proposed agreement for the City's lease of the Hanson
Beverage Building on 1st Street. This lease and option to purchase was prepared
by the City Attorney. The City Council is to consider approving this lease with
Mr. Hanson.
I talked with Mr. Hanson recently regarding this lease with option to purchase.
He has several concerns which should be pointed out to the Council.
1. Mr. Hanson has indicated that he may need more time to vacate the property.
The Public Works Department was hoping to enter the building during August
of this year, concurrently vacating Abe's Auto Body building.
2. Mr. Hanson is concerned about the 12 year time period. He would like the
agreement to ensure that after some duration (3-5 years or so) the City could
not vacate the building. State law limits the City to the proposed lease limits.
3. The topic of the existing gas tanks on the site was discussed. Mr. Hanson
has given the City permission to conduct a soil boring in conjunction with
other projects this Spring. He has been planning to remove the tanks in May
of this year due to new regulations. The Public Works Department does not
want the tanks. The City's current fueling arrangement is working well.
4. Mr. Hanson owns Lots 5, 6, and 7 of Block 6 and the north 1/2 of the vacated
Walnut Street right of way. (See map.) He informed me that someone has recently
purchased Lot 1 and the south 1/2 of the vacated Walnut Street right of way.
This may prohibit the City from securing extra yard space to the south in the
future, however, it is my recommendation that the City continue to pursue
this lease with Mr. Hanson. This building and its existing yard space will
provide the Department with enough space to operate at this time.
I recommend that the Council approve the attached lease with Mr. Hanson.

MEMO TO: WAYNE HENNEKE, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: FIRE CAPTAIN POSITION
DATE: MARCH 26 , 1993
Presently , the department officer structure consists of Chief ,
ist and 2nd Assistant Chiefs , one Fire/Rescue Captain , two Fire
Captains and the Secretary/Treasure position . Additionally , the
rescue squad is structured with a 1st and 2nd Lieutenant.
On December 1 , 1984 the Farmington Fire Department Rescue Squad
became operational . July 1 , 1986, one of the three Captain pos-
itions was changed to Fire/Rescue Captain and the 1st and 2nd
Lieutenant positions were appointed. The officer structure of
the rescue squad has remainded unchanged since then . Our records
indicate a total of 68 rescue calls responded to in 1985. Every
year since then our rescue responses have increased. Our total
responses in 1992 was 244.
The Fire/Rescue Captain position reqires a double effort to sat-
isfy the needes of fire training and the administrative needs of
the Rescue Squad.
I am requesting to add another Fire Captain position and change
the present Fire/Rescue Captain to Rescue Captain only. The
present monthly retainer for the Fire/Rescue Captain is set at
$97. 37. This amount would be reduced to $86. 00 if approved. The
additional yearly cost to the City would be $ 1032. The position
need as requested was noted in the 1993 Operating Budget {see
attached ) . I realize the monies for this position as explained
were not offically addressed when the 1993 Budget was completed .
If the funding is not available, I would fully support adjusting
the Fire Department Budget.
In conclusion , if approved , this position will be developed on
a trial basis for up to one year. The position will be very
closely monitored and reviewed prior to the adoption of the 1994
Budget. I am confident this position will be a benefit to the
department.

MEMO TO : WAYNE HENNEKE , FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT : PERSONNEL SERVICES BUDGET FOR 1993
DATE : JUNE 30, 1992
The hourly retainer provided to all firefighters/rescue personnel
has been set at $6. 14 per hour for 1992. This retainer reimburses
members for expenses developed in responding to and returning from
• paged calls . Each year, Council determines a flat percentage in-
crease for all city employees ' . I am requesting the same consid-
• eration be given to the hourly retainer wage for firefighters .
The monthly retainer for the positions of Chief , Assistant Chiefs ,
Captains , Fire/Rescue Captain , Rescue Lieutenants and Secretary/
Treasure have been established as approved in the 1992 Budget.
The same flat percentage increase as mentioned above is being
requested for these positions . Also , I, have given strong con-
sideration to adding another Captain position because of the work
load presently being handled by the Fire/Rescue Captain position.
I realize the added position will have to be approved by Council .
1 plan on addressing this added position at a later date.
The firefighter clothing allowance has been established at $50. 00 ,
per year. This amount is reasonable and sufficent for 1993.
The custodial duties are shared with City Hall . I am unfamiliar
with the dollar amount needed to provide this service. I bring
this to your attention so that it may be included in the 1993
Budget .
The groundskeeper position as approved in 1986 presently pays
$4. 50 per hour. I am requesting to raise this to $5. 00 per hour
for 1993 .
The Engineer position within the fire department remains the same.
The function of this position is to maintain the appuratus and
equipment . Preventive maintance is another function of this posit-
ion which is extremely important . Presently , $5. 00 per hour is
allotted for this position. This amount is adaquate for 1993.
Fire Marshal position will be in place very soon . The 1992 Budget
allowed $ 15 , 000 for this position. With the part time status of
this position , the hourly wage after benefit requirements was much
lower than originally planned . I recommend raising this amount to
$20, 000 for 1993 and maintain the the 20 hour part time schedule.

Re Solid Waste Service - FEI - 5183 212th St.
Effective the October 1, 1990 billing, the Finance Department was
informed in writing to bill FEI for two containers with twice a
week pickup. Recently FEI questioned their bill and stated they
do have two containers but have always received once a week
service. This fact was verifyed by the Solid Waste Foreman. It is
recommended to refund FEI the over-payment of $2,595. 64.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS AND STANDARDS
DATE: MARCH 31, 1993
The City Council closed the public hearing on architectural designs and standards
with the understanding that it would discuss the issue with the Planning Commission
at the February 20th workshop. As you are aware, there was not enough time to
discuss this issue at the workshop, so the issue has been laying in limbo. Also
discussed was the possibility of working with developers to develop an ordinance.
I am seeking direction from the Council as to how the City should proceed.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: SET WORKSHOP - 1993 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES/CIP
DATE: MARCH 31, 1993
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the City would adopt goals and objectives
and approve a 5 year CIP on an annual basis. The process generally consisted of
the following:
1. Goals and Objectives
a. Department Heads submitted goals and objectives.
b. Staff reviewed and prioritized.
c. Submitted to the Council for review.
d. Council approval.
2. CIP
a. Department Heads submit requests.
b. Finance Department analyzes and completed projections.
c. Finance Department reviews with Department Heads.
d. Administrator reviews.
e. Full staff review.
f. Submitted to Council.
g. Reviewed and approved in conjunction with the general operating budget.
As you may note, most of the work and direction was carried out on the staff level
based on informal or formal Council actions. This process worked fairly well because
there was adequate staff to take care of the demands/requests.
Entering the 1990s it became apparent that because of the number and diversity
of projects, it would be necessary to establish a more formal process and have
more Council involvement in order to create a more specific document.
Last year, the Council embarked on such a process, but as noted on a number of
occasions, we all became "too busy" to complete the process. Based on what is
happening in the City right now, and what is anticipated in the future, it is evident
that the City cannot afford to "back burner" this process. A good example is the
list of goalsand objectives outlined in the Engineer's February 10, 1993 memo.
It is becoming obvious at this time that there is not enough staff or resources
to accomplish everyone's goals, so it is paramount that the City establish and
prioritize goals and objectives with time lines. It is, therefore, requested that
the Council establish a workshop sometime in early May. This will allow staff
enough time to prepare a list of goals and objectives, CIP and time schedule.
This item will be on the April 5, 1993 agenda.
