Mr. Schneider questioned Mr. Zelinka as to effective date of salary increases and Mr. Zelinka said this had been discussed. The Personnel Commission had indicated the effective date shoul be the 1st of the year but realized this must be left to budget consideration. The Personnel Commission will also present recommednations for Police salaries. The need for a Sargent will also be discussed, as will rotating shifts and weekend availability of officers. Mr. Locher said there should be an assessment role prepared for the La Motte sewer pro- ject. Notice of the hearing and mailed notices must be two weeks prior to the meeting. This must be on file in the City Offices for inspection. Mr. Locher said it is not re- quired by law but he would suggest the amount of the assessment be included in the mailing. This assessment role must be certified to the County Auditor prior to October 10, 1977 in order to be placed on the 1978 assessment roles. Mr. McLean moved to set the assessment hearing for La Motte Sewer Project for September 12, 1977 at 9:45 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously ,&L' (rte i d Mr. Locher asked if this was to 100% assessed to the property owners and was` t• d, Yes. Mr. Locher suggested using both the Auditor's and County Treasurer's list for mailing. He said the property owners have until November 15, 1977 to prepay the assessments without interest. IIIMr. Locher felt that repeaters should have no more consideration than an adult, but he said some of the offenders break the law just to get their names in the paper; some feel if they have the name, they might as well play the game, thus becoming repeaters because of the pub- licity. Mr. Locher said at the present time, the names are absolutely confidential. Mr. Locher had received a letter from the Union stating the demands for the 1978 Police Contract. There was a copy for each Council member. This matter will discussed at the bud- get hearing scheduled for August 11, 1977. The Clerk was instructed to make a copy of this memo for all Personnel Commission members. Mr. Locher reported there will be a meeting in the Anoka County Commissioners room on August 9, 1977 at 10:00 A. M. in connection with the re- spelling of some of the names of the Lakes located within the City. The one in question is Rondeau - it seems some one wants to retain the spelling as "Randeau ". Mr. Zelinka introduced the subject discussed previously on the State Law requiring the confidentiality of juvenile offenders. Mr. Locher had made some calls but as of this date has not received an answer. Mr. Zelinka felt the names of the offenders should be made public in order to deter this action. He felt letters should be written to the State Legislatures stating the City's position on this matter. Mr. Zelinka emphasized this is his opinion and he would like an opinion from other Council members. Officer Hillyer was in the building, Mr. Zelinka asked him to present his thinkings on this matter. Officer Hillyer said there is merit to both sides of the question. It was suggested that a panel of persons who deal with this problem be assembled for an evening of discussion on this mater.
