On motion of Councilman Roger Peterson, seconded by Councilwoman Bodlovick, the Council granted the variance request since it was evident that there would be no harm with the construction of the proposed carport. (all in favor) UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. BILL CARTER, Staff member of the Police Officer Standards and Training, described the function of the POST Board. Mr. Carter also described the current process of law enforcement training and selection standards. He point out that the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension office no longer conducts a full -time training course - only continuing education type courses. The education requirements, training and licensing, are achieved thru colleges or vocational - technical schools. He was not sure what sure what Stillwater could do in terms of hiring new police officers due to the fact that the City also belongs to the Suburban Police Recruiting System. Mr. Abrahamson said that he would look into this and report back to the Council. 2. LOCAL IMPROVEMENT NO. 166- Downtown Parking Lot. MR. ELLIOTT discussed the proposed method of assessing for the downtown parking lot, He suggested using a formula similar to that which was used by North St. Paul. The formula incorporated such factors as distance, square footage and available parking spaces. It was further suggested that some assessments, such as for Gordon Iron and Metal, Inc., be deferred if the business was such as to require little parking needs. The assessments would be deferred until the use of the property was changed. On motion of Councilman Roger Peterson, seconded by Councilwoman Bodlovick, the Council instructed the Consulting Engineer to use the proposed method of assess- ment for Local Improvement No. 166. (all in favor) 3. LOCAL IMPROVEMENT NO. 182 (Painting of the Ice Arena) MR. KRIESEL informed the Council that the City had received a bill in the amount of $1,637.47 from Stockbridge Construction and Supply, Inc. for the work that was done at the Ice Arena. MR. KRIESEL said that he and other City officials had discussed the bill with the contractor and there was a mutual feeling that the work would not be accomplished by the contract deadline (October 1, 1980), and that it would be in the best interest of all concerned if the contract was terminated, providing the cleanup and repair work was completed, and the bill was paid. COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK stated that this amounted to more than 10% of the contract amount and only 1% of the work was completed. On motion of Councilman Roger Peterson, seconded by Mayor Junker, the Council authorized the City Attorney to prepare the necessary papers to terminate the contract with Stockbridge Construction and Supply, Inc.
