MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 City has had luck developing seasonal employees that are known to be good workers. He explained that it is busy in the spring and fall but the seasonal workers are not available early and late in these seasons, whereas the apprentice would work year round and fill these gaps. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION 2017-9-159 —FOLLOW STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO CREATE A PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE APPRENTICE POSITION, AND APPROVE THE PROPOSED JOB DESCRIPTION AND WAGE SCALE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Fischer. Aye (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. OLD FIRE HALL The City Administrator reported that the Old Fire Hall evaluation COMMITTEE committee met again on August 30 to make some decisions about the UPDATE work that should be done to the building since the brick is falling off the exterior. He explained that one quote for masonry was received, but it might not be exactly the work scope the committee wanted, so staff will get additional quotes. He suggested that an architect be commissioned to help with making sure the bids are comparable. Keis asked if the proposal was to completely remove and replace the exterior brick. The City Administrator stated it is, along with fixing the cracks and repainting the sides and rear block walls. He stated the plan is to do the work next year. He noted that we could redo some venting in the building and then would be able to remove the chimney. There was Council consensus for staff to get quotes for architectural services for the exterior work on the Old Fire Hall. CLOSED SESSION Keis stated that the Council is calling for a closed session at 9:00p.m. as TO CONSIDER authorized under State Statute 13D.05 Subd. 3, to discuss terms for a OFFER TO purchase agreement for the properties at 53 and 167 South Owasso PURCHASE 53 & Boulevard. 167 SOUTH OWASSO Keis stated that the regular Council meeting will be adjourned and the BOULEVARD Council will immediately go into closed session. He noted that the regular Council meeting will adjourn immediately after the closed session is adj ourned.
