Public Safety Committee 3-26-90 Page 3 Council Member Voorde noted that in discussions through the FOP negotiating process, that Officer Szuba, has stated on many occasions when officers respond to such calls, that they primarily act as a mediator, but when no cooperation is received, that they take appropriate action. Following further discussion, Council Member Niezgodski made a motion seconded by Council Member Slavinskas that Bill No. 19-90 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. Council President Zakrzewski then recommended that the Committee hear Resolution 90-14 which would approve the issuance of scrap metal/junk dealers/transfer stations licenses for calendar year 1990. Council Member Soderberg then called upon Patricia DeClercq to review the bill as a miscellaneous matter. Mrs. DeClercq noted that this is a yearly occurrence where the City inspects all of the businesses falling under this category of licensing. The Board of Public Works has acted upon favorably the twelve businesses listed within the resolution. She noted that each of the twelve businesses have complied with code enforcement and fire department regulations. She also indicated that currently the city is working with three of the companies who have been licensed in the past but have not met the requirements primarily in the area of fencing. Council Member Niezgodski questioned whether the Nichols business on College Avenue was in compliance. Mrs. DeClercq noted that it currently is not, however, they are working with the business owner and that a re-hearing may be necessary. Council Member Niezgodski requested that he be advised of the new date of the hearing. Coucil Member Zakrzewski asked for an update with regard to the business on Calvert and Franklin Street. Mrs. DeClercq noted that a Cease and Desist order was issued by the City last summer and that the business has not been in operation since then. The property is currently securely padlocked. Following further discussion, Council Member Zakrzewski made a motion, seconded by Council Member Duda that Resolution No. 90-14 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed.
