CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />APPROVED <br />130 Mayor Rafferty asked about the funding source. Mr. Grochala said right now work is <br />131 being funded by Municipal State Aid (MSA) dollars. Mayor Rafferty asked <br />132 Councilmember Cavegn (who lives in the area) if he's heard comments from the area <br />133 residents; Councilmember Cavegn said no. <br />134 <br />135 The council concurred with staff s proposal. <br />136 4. POC Firefighter Wages —Human Resources Manager Sawyer read her written <br />137 report recommending amendments to the Paid On -Call Firefighter Wage Plan, <br />138 <br />139 Mayor Rafferty remarked that there are different positions within the department for paid- <br />140 on call personnel. Ms. Sawyer explained that the wage level is based on years of service <br />141 and also wage steps. Mayor Rafferty noted that he sees this as an important step; there <br />142 are minimum wages being paid for very important work. He is supportive of the change <br />143 <br />144 The council concurred to move forward with the changes. <br />145 <br />146 Councilmember Cavegn asked about Centennial Fire District POC wages (they are less) <br />147 and received confirmation that the stipend isn't new. <br />148 <br />149 Councilmember Stoesz asked if the changes could be implemented earlier than 2022 and <br />150 Public Safety Director Swenson explained that staff proposes that the wage schedule be <br />151 reviewed on a timeline so early approval would fall outside that plan. <br />152 5.

The City originally <br />154 owned 20 acres but there was land sold for the townhome development. Staff has been <br />155 looking at the master plan for this vicinity and seeing some areas that perhaps should be <br />156 discussed. Councilmember Lyden remarked that the main 6+ acres must be held for <br />157 commercial. Director Grochala said that some land within that acreage is guided for <br />158 mixed use. At this point, Mr. Grochala noted, developers don't generally want the whole <br />159 site but the City isn't wanting to parcel it off. Most interest seen is for multifamily <br />160 development and that is creating a question about where the most value is. He reviewed <br />161 information in the written reports staff is suggesting that the City work with a master <br />162 developer who could review the options and come back with a report. <br />163 <br />164 Councilmember Stoesz asked about parameters of a development agreement. Mr. <br />165 Grochala said that isn't clear at this point but there would certainly be some. <br />166 <br />167 Councilmember Cavegn said he is in favor of a partnership but he does also support <br />168 commercial development as was originally planned. If development needs some division <br />169 of the property to get commercial started, perhaps that should be considered. <br />170 <br />171 Mayor Rafferty said he is hesitant to move toward more housing units. He sees the value <br />
