ACTION ON CITY ADMINISTRATOR
The appointment of Susan Hoyt as City Administrator effective
August 15, 1991 was discussed. Baldwin indicated all members of
the council were in agreement in offering Hoyt the position.
Wallin objected to No. 8 of the employment agreement which
covers termination and severance pay. He suggested that the
severance pay terms should exempt the city from payment if the
administrator was terminated for "just cause" like chronic
alcoholism or continual failure to come to work. Council
suggested that the city attorney re-write that section of the
agreement possibly providing for an arbitration procedure. Paul
Ciernia recommended adoption of the Employment Agreement and
compensation package subject to the re-writing of No. 8 by the
city attorney with final approval of the re-written
clarification by Jerry Wallin. The motion carried unanimously.

CHANGE ORDER FOR HAMLINE AVENUE RETAINING WALL
Terry Maurer explained the need for a three foot high retaining
wall on a portion of the Hamline Avenue properties south of
Garden Avenue to 1781 Hamline. The wall is required due to the
increased slope of the property after Hamline Avenue was
widened. The wall would be constructed at the property line
so liability will be minimal and would match the existing slopes
of the front yards. The wall would be made of grey concrete
blocks and would cost the city approximately $13,095. Jerry
Wallin moved to approve this request. Motion carried
unanimously.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS NOTED
On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, Sue Gehrz asked whether
city staff would be responsive to hosting high school students
for part of the day in connection with "career day". Sue Hoyt
thought the staff would enjoy doing this again as it was a
positive experience last year.
