<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Minutes <br />May 8, 1984 <br /> <br />Benke asked if there was a need for any type of follow-up <br />work to help the victims (counseling, contacting Red Cross, <br />etc.). <br /> <br />Kelley indicated that any such inquiries are being referred <br />to either the Red Cross or the Salvation Army; Sinda indi- <br />cated that if those agencies were unable to provide the <br />proper assistance, they would refer the callers to the <br />appropriate organization. <br /> <br />Blomquist indicated that representatives of New Brighton <br />and St. Anthony would be at the June 20, 1984 Ramsey County <br />League of Local Government's meeting to discuss what was <br />done regarding the tornado and what perhaps could/should <br />have been done. <br /> <br />Schmidt asked what type of equipment could have been <br />used for the past shelters that the Jaycee's were in- <br />volved in. <br /> <br />Anderson indicated the buildings are prefabricated with <br />very heavy beams. The Jaycee's shelter involved more <br />in-house work than if the City had done it alone. <br /> <br />Schmidt asked if we would be better off economically to <br />have it done by an outside contractor than a combination <br />of in-house staff and the Jaycee's. <br /> <br />Anderson responded that if we were doing one building, <br />the City could do it; but there are four buildings in- <br />volved at this time and the City's workflow is very heavy <br />at this time. Therefore, it would be feasible to have an <br />outside contractor construct the shelters. <br /> <br />Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Blomquist, to AUTHORIZE <br />ISSUANCE OF A PURCHASE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $4,856 TO <br />DALE ROBERTSON BUILDINGS FOR INSTALLATION OF FOUR PICNIC <br />SHELTERS. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried <br /> <br />Announcements and Updates <br /> <br />Benke indicated the Historical Society is working on an <br />application for a project this summer that will involve <br />the excavation of twenty sites for archeological purposes <br />around long Lake area, in anticipation of finding items <br />relating to historical lndian settlements in the Rice <br />Creek area. The Society will also be doing some survey <br />work with various property owners and will be bringing in <br />a fuller description of the project to Council at a later <br />date. <br /> <br />Page Eight <br /> <br />Picnic Shelters <br />Construction <br />Report 84-115 <br /> <br />Archeological Excavating, <br />Historical Society <br />
