Mr. Schumacher asked to update the Council on two matters of interest to the Council prior to presenting his evaluations. 4th Avenue Improvement Project - As the Council is aware the County will proceed with upgrading Main Street from 4th Avenue to 35W start- ing in June. As part of that project the County has agreed to clean the ditch just east of 4th Avenue from Main Street south to where the City cleaned out the ditch for the 4th Avenue project. This means the entire ditch from Main Street south to Lilac Street will be cleaned and restored to the original condition. The City must get permission from the property owners on the east side of 4th Avenue so that equip- ment can entire on their properties to perform this work. The County will provide the City with names and addresses of the affected property owners. Circle Pines Gas Franchise - Circle Pines City Council will give final consideration to the Gas Franchise tomorrow evening at their regular council meeting. They are looking forward to extending gas service into Schilling's Lino Industrial Park. Employee Evaluations - Mr. Schumacher noted that at the last Ways and Means Committee meeting the Council discussed Comparable Worth and asked him to put together some ranges for employees who were out of sequence based on the Comparable Worth study. Two positions are out of sequence, the City Clerk and Administrative Assistant. Mr. Schumacher has put together a range for these two positions and the Council now should deal with how to get them into the range. Mayor Benson noted that this does not mean that they must be brought into range right now but only show how this will be done. This plan must be submitted to the State by August, 1987. Mr. Marier asked if he started working at the City today, where would he start in this range. Mr. Schumacher said at the bottom and then work up as tenure and knowledge of the position increased. Mr. Schumacher explained the procedure he used in preparing these evaluations. PAGE 1
