COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 10, 1997 Mr. Tesch explained the wording has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. Council Member Lyden reviewed language indicating the report of an offense is submitted to the Mayor and inquired if the report should be submitted to the entire Council. Council Member Bergeson asked if the attorney who drafted this document was aware of Lino Lakes' form of government and authority of the Mayor. Mr. Hawkins asked if the Council wants every single complaint to come before the City Council or if it should be handled by the administrative staff. Council Member Kuether suggested an "and/or" situation so that option remains open. Mr. Hawkins noted the policy indicates the Human Resource Officer would make an investigation and submit the report to the Mayor and then the Council would take action. Council Member Kuether stated she supports the report being submitted to the full Council, which includes the Mayor. Consensus was reached to change the wording to delete "Mayor" and insert "Mayor and entire Council." Council Member Bergeson suggested consideration of approval be contingent upon approval of 411 the drafting attorney. Council agreed. Council Member Bergeson asked who selects the Human Rights Officer. Mr. Tesch explained the Council will make this determination and suggested it be further discussed at the next work session. Council Member Bergeson indicated support to consider approval subject to revisions and approval by the drafting attorney. Mr. Tesch explained another opportunity remains in several weeks to make revisions. In response to Council Member Kuether, Mr. Tesch advised this policy will be reviewed annually and updated, if needed. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 29, revising Page 12, Paragraph E, as indicated and subject to approval of revision by the drafting attorney. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 97 - 29 can be found at the end of these, minutes.
