FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -3- • July 14, 2004 Consideration of a welcome packet for new residents (continued) Mayor Gehrz said that a quantity of the packets would be available in the management office of the new building. The City would provide the envelopes and put together the packets, while the business community would provide enough copies of their material for 200 packets. In addition, the City would include relevant City information, such as the new resident booklet. She commented that would be nice to spend a little more for nice envelopes and it would be fun to have a different kind of falcon that is a little more cheerful. The current falcon is a bit stark. Council member Kuettel said that sometimes things need to be updated. Hopefully, we will have people from Falcon Heights moving to this development. Council member Lindstrom said that as president of the Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions Club, he received a letter from the City of Lauderdale inviting the Lions to advertise in their City directory. He suggested that Falcon Heights consider inviting its business community to advertise on the back flap of the packet envelopes or in the new resident booklet. Council member Talbot said he has been waiting for five years to update the falcon. It is so 70's • looking. Talbot moved that Mayor Gehrz and Administrator Worthington be authorized to send a letter to all of the City's licensed businesses requesting material fora "welcome packet" for new residents. Mayor Gehrz and Administrator Worthington are also authorized to redesign the falcon. The motion was unanimously approved. Step increase and title change for Ann Davy Recreation Coordinator Administrator Worthington said the City hired Ann Davy on January 29, 2004 as Recreation Coordinator. Bill Maertz conducted a performance evaluation of Ann before he left on June 30~', and concluded that her work to date has been exemplary. He praised Ann for her strong work ethic, innovations in recreation programming, and excellent interpersonal skills. Additionally, Ann has taken on the City newsletter, designed the recreation brochure, and spearheaded a number of projects that show her versatility and considerable talents. Ann has already taken on more responsibilities and duties; however, with Bill's departure, Ann was approached with an additional list of duties involving parks. These functions have been separated out from Bill's old job description, and are more appropriate to Ann's everyday duties and responsibilities. She recommended adding the following to Ann's duties, and increasing her hours from 15% to 33% time to reflect these additional duties: 1. Parks capital planning 2.
