CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />DRAFT <br /> 2 <br />million, and with all costs $65 million. 45 <br /> 46 <br />The council discussed options and directed staff to offer the $400,000. Staff will work 47 <br />on a date for an Economic Development Agency (EDA) meeting (August 30th or 48 <br />September 7th). 49 <br />Administrator Cotton noted that the Minnesota Department of Health has been in contact 50 <br />with her about using the former YMCA facility for COVID testing and that type of action 51 <br />could possibly be coordinated together for a special meeting. Councilmember Stoesz 52 <br />added that, should the City enter an agreement for a testing site, he’d like assurance that 53 <br />cleaning will be included. 54 <br />3. Review Regular Council Agenda of August 23, 2021 - 55 <br /> 56 <br />Item 1A – Expenditure for newsletter. Mayor Rafferty asked how the new 57 <br />Communications position will impact those costs and Administrator Cotton explained 58 <br />that staff intends that the function of design be brought in house but mailing and printing 59 <br />services will still be outsourced. 60 <br />Item 3A – Mayor Rafferty remarked that there is energy to move ahead but he feels there 61 <br />are questions remaining. It seems to make sense to look to ISG for more information. 62 <br />Item 3B – Administrator Cotton explained that staff is recommending that the current 63 <br />Human Resources Manager be appointed to a new position of Human Resources and 64 <br />Communications Manager based on her new duties. The salary step recommended is the 65 <br />same as where Ms. Sawyer is at on her current wage scale. 66 <br />Mayor Rafferty asked if there is opportunity to downscale the position if perhaps the 67 <br />communications position were to begin reporting to the City Administrator. Ms. Cotton 68 <br />explained how the position and function have been designed to be a part of the Human 69 <br />Resources Manager responsibilities. 70 <br />Item 6A – Storm Water Utility – Second reading on the ordinance. 71 <br />Item 6B – CRJ/CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) Truck Utility Improvement Project – City 72 <br />Engineer Hankee explained the pending project and how the improvements will impact 73 <br />existing lines. 74 <br /> 75 <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:26 p.m. 76 <br /> 77 <br />These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on 78 <br />September 13, 2021. 79 <br /> 80 <br /> 81 <br /> 82 <br /> 83 <br />Julianne Bartell, City Clerk Rob Rafferty, Mayor 84 <br /> 85
