At its last meeting, the City Council approved execution of an agreement between Crystal
and the Bassett Creek Watershed for the 36th and Winnetka pond dredging project. The
next step in the process is to approve an agreement with Barr Engineering for designing the
project. Recommend approval of this resolution.
6.3 The Council will consider first reading of an ordinance adopting Subpart 3 to replace Subpart
2 in Building Code Chapter 1306 pertaining to fire sprinkler requirements.
Last month the City Council discussed amending the provision in Building Code Chapter
1306 to pertain only to new construction, additions, or individual tenant spaces with a
change in occupancy as defined in the code. Recommend approval of the ordinance
making this change.

Last year the City Council approved two year contracts (2017-18) with all three bargaining
units that included a reopener for 2018 health insurance contributions. Assistant City

in the increase of the health insurance contributions. Recommend approval of the 2018
health insurance contributions and authorize the city manager to execute the
memorandums of understanding.
6.5 The council will consider approval of 2018 wage adjustment and health insurance

The City Council has historically maintained internal equity between employee groups

contracts include a 2.5% wage adjustment for 2018 and as discussed in the previous agenda
item, negotiated the 2018 health insurance contributions. Recommend approval of the
2018 wage adjustment and health insurance contributions for non-represented employees.
