22 September 20, 1979 Mr. McLean felt that instead of $25,000 for inspectors, this should be more in the $20,000 range; he understood the City of White Bear paid their full -time inspector, the man who was substantially in charge, $18,000 a year. Marilyn indicated she had put $20,000 in for the in- spector, but Mr. McLean had referred to the combined total for the building inspector, $20,000, and the plumbing inspector, $5,000; he felt this should amount to $20,000 combined. Marilyn said that there was nothing the in the Metro publications for under $20,000. Mr. McLean asked about the SAC charge, and Marilyn explained that the City only processed this, and it did not appear in the budget at a11. Marilyn explained that she had been conservative on the city services, andticipating less building and income from permits, and suggested perhaps abother $5,000 could be added. Mr. Schneider noted that the budget was now down to $34,000 in additional expenses, which was a mil rate of 19.2, as compared to 16.89 last year. Marilyn added that one of the City vehicles, the office car, would be sold next year; Mr. Schneider suggested $200 on the car and $300 on the trailer. In summary, he indicated the budget stood at'19 mils, using the C.I. route for 74,000. This would need to be finalized, and all the figures checked to make sure they were right. He suggested one more meeting before the first Council meeting in October, which would be October 9, at which time the budget would need to be finalized, as it had to be filed October 10. This meeting was set for October 2, at 8pm. Marilyn was asked to work on the budget September 25, 1979. Mr. Schneider brought up three items for discussion in reference to the City Administrator; the employment contract, moving expenses, and in- surance. The City would be looking at a 3 -5 year employment contract, which was nromal due to concern over Council turnover. The Adminstrato could still be dismissed with due casue. A probationary period was discussed, and whether this could be written into the contract, and Mr. Schneider felt there would have to be a clear definition of probationary The move would run about $1,000 to $1,500. Mr. Schneider asked if there was a definate no to any of these considerations, and whether he could be authorized to go ahead. He felt there would have to be some negotiation on the contract. He will indicate he ahs discussed this with the Council and there does not seem to be a problem. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to adjourn at 9:30 P.M. Mr. McLean seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. These minutes were considered and approved at the regular scheduled Council meeting held on October 22, 1979. Edna L. Sarner, Clerk - Treas.
