She also recommended a 5% step increase for the end of her probationary appointment. Ann will be eligible for an additional step at one year and at 18 months. Lindstrom moved approval of the additional duties for Ann Davy, a change in her title, and a 5% step increase marking the end of her probationary appointment with the City of Falcon Heights. The motion was unanimously approved. REPORTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS: None • INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: Council members Talbot and Kuettel reminded the viewing audience that the City's annual ice cream social will be held at Community Park on Thursday, July 29, 2004, from 6 PM-8 PM. Council member Talbot also asked for an update about the reconstruction of Curtiss Field. Administrator Worthington said the reconstruction is pretty much on schedule. Some seeding has been done around the pond slopes. Trees will be planted toward the latter part of July. The only holdup is that the ideal time to plant grass is past. The concrete work is pretty much done. The section of Iowa Avenue that was removed earlier will be replaced within the next week. The park building will be reroofed within the next week or so. Installation of fencing along the property line will occur in the next few weeks and everything pretty much completed by mid-August. Council member Lindstrom commented that the pond drains much quicker now. Administrator Worthington said the sinkhole was probably related to a fire hydrant leakage problem. The sinkhole at Maple Knoll was the result of a previous water main leak that had washed out underneath the street. The third sinkhole was caused by a catch basin structure. Mayor Gehrz said that sweet corn is available now at the Farmer's Market, which is held every Tuesday morning, from 8 AM-noon, in Twin Cities Co-op's rear parking lot, Larpenteur and Prior. The City Council is in the process of holding a series of budget workshops in preparation for 2005. Some discussions have been held about the capital budget and upcoming discussions will be about the operating budget. She invited the viewing audience to contact the • City Council and City Hall with ideas and input regarding the budget. 4
