1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MAY 19, 1993 Mayor Reinert asked if adoption of the manual places any liability on the City and taxpayers. Mr. Schumacher explained that the manual meets the mandated requirements and should have the effect of reducing accidents and injuries thereby reducing insurance premiums. He also noted that the committee that prepared the manual will continue to meet monthly and monthly training sessions will also be held to focus on high risk areas and the right -to -know area. Mr. Schumacher asked to add an item to the agenda entitled, "Special Events Application Forms ". He explained that the forms have been drafted by the Parks Department. The application is very comprehensive and requires that all City departments review each request for a special event. Mr. Asleson explained the forms. He noted that he and the Parks Department secretary will monitor all applications to be sure that all codes and policies are addressed. The City Attorney has also reviewed the forms. Council Member Neal noted that a resident went to City Hall and asked where the Earth Day celebration was being held. The person at City Hall did not know anything about Earth Day. It was explained that this occurred during the weekend and the person addressed was not a regular City Hall employee. Mr. Volk noted that when special groups are using City Hall, the public comes in and expects answers from City Hall any time of the day or night. This matter will be discussed at the next staff meeting. Council Member Neal noted that someone working for the Parks Department did not get his pay check when everyone else was paid. He asked that if a department head loses a time card, the department head should also not be paid. Mayor Reinert asked that this matter be checked.
