COUNCIL MINUTES December 10, 2018 DRAFT 124 The wage change is requested to bring the position into an appropriate salary based on market 125 findings and to bring the City into compliance for the purpose of pay equity. She noted that the 126 City's compliance situation is also impacted by the fact that the Police Sergeants have not yet settled 127 their agreement; that will change the equation. 128 129 Mayor Reinert remarked that many of the highest paying jobs for the City are held by women so he 130 wonders what puts the City out of compliance. Ms. Bartholomew noted that the Police Sergeants are 131 not represented with women; she also noted that the lower classifications are thought to be out of line 132 and so it makes sense that those classifications will be reviewed. 133 Council Member Maher moved to approve the wage adjustment as recommended. Council Member 134 Manthey seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 135 3B) Consider Appointment of Building Permit Technician — Human Resources Manager 136 Bartholomew read her written report. 137 138 Council Member Rafferty remarked that the Building Department has been especially busy in the past 139 couple years. He is thankful for the good work of Ms. Woltjer and wishes her the best in her 140 retirement. 141 Council Member Manthey moved to approve the appointment of Brianna Freeman as recommended. 142 Council Member Stoesz seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 143 3C) Consider Appointment of Recycling Intern - Human Resources Manager Bartholomew read 144 her written report. 145 Council Member Maher moved to approve the appointment of Katie Stelzner as recommended. 146 Council Member Rafferty seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 147 148 PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT REPORT 149 4A) Consider Replacement of Vehicle 390 — Public Safety Director Swenson requested that the 150 council authorize replacement of a police fleet vehicle. It would be replaced by a newer vehicle that 151 has become available through the forfeiture process. The replacement would reduce the ultimate cost 152 of replacing the current vehicle. He noted the cost of fitting the new vehicle to be suitable for police 153 service, to be paid through forfeiture funds. 154 Council Member Maher moved to approve the vehicle replacement as recommended. Council 155 Member Rafferty seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 156 4B) Consider Acceptance of Coss Family Foundation Donation— Public Safety Director 157 Swenson reported on the availability of a donation that could fund the purchase of a utility vehicle to 158 serve the Public Safety Division. The cost of the vehicle beyond the donated funds would be funded 159 by the forfeiture money. 160 Council Member Stoesz remarked that the vehicle should help to recruit individuals to safety service. 161 Mayor Reinert thanked the Coss Family Foundation for their donation. 4
