CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JULY 8, 1998 <br /> to Main Street. She is in the process of obtaining title to the <br /> parcel. <br /> Andy referred to the Circle Pines Gas Franchise and noted that the income from the <br /> franchise was reduced by the amount of delinquent gas bills in Lino Lakes. He asked why <br /> these bills were not assessed to the property taxes. Mr. Hawkins explained that this is not <br /> an assessable utility. If the gas utility cannot collect the delinquents bills,they are <br /> deducted from the franchise fee. <br /> Andy will check to see if there is a method for collection of the delinquent bills by this <br /> City. <br /> CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSAL TO RECOGNIZE RANDY <br /> SCHUMACHER'S YEARS OF SERVICE,ANDY NEAL <br /> Andy explained that this matter was brought to his attention by a resident of the City. He <br /> has brought the matter to the attention of staff who have suggested that the full City <br /> Council discuss the matter. <br /> It was determined that in the past,the City has recognized employees with 20 or more <br /> years of service. Since Mr. Schumacher worked for the City 18 years,the Council felt it <br /> n was not appropriate to give Mr. Schumacher special recognition. <br /> Andy asked if the Mayor's Citizen Awards will be given this year. Dan said that he is <br /> working on this matter. Originally, there was a committee of four(4)who solicited <br /> recommendations for the award and then made a recommendation to the City Council. <br /> Since some of the originally committee members no longer live in the City, other <br /> members are being researched. Dan will bring this matter to the City Council in the <br /> future. <br /> CONSIDERATION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S CONTRACT,KIM <br /> SULLIVAN <br /> Kim explained that a Council Member has asked that this contract be reviewed. Bill said <br /> that for 15 years, he operated on a verbal agreement. A formal contract was prepared. The <br /> latest contract with the City expired in 1994. Additionally, the contract was with the firm <br /> of Burke and Hawkins. This firm no longer exists. Bill said that he would update the <br /> contract if that is the wish of the City Council. <br /> Kim explained that she was asked to place this contract out for bid. She asked that the <br /> City Council review the contract and then be prepared to discuss it at the next work <br /> session. Kim asked that Chris be informed of this decision. <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
