CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JULY 8, 1998 <br />to Main Street. She is in the process of obtaining title to the <br />parcel. <br />Andy referred to the Circle Pines Gas Franchise and noted that the income from the <br />franchise was reduced by the amount of delinquent gas bills in Lino Lakes. He asked why <br />these bills were not assessed to the property taxes. Mr. Hawkins explained that this is not <br />an assessable utility. If the gas utility cannot collect the delinquents bills, they are <br />deducted from the franchise fee. <br />Andy will check to see if there is a method for collection of the delinquent bills by this <br />City. <br />CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSAL TO RECOGNIZE RANDY <br />SCHUMACHER'S YEARS OF SERVICE, ANDY NEAL <br />Andy explained that this matter was brought to his attention by a resident of the City. He <br />has brought the matter to the attention of staff who have suggested that the full City <br />Council discuss the matter. <br />It was determined that in the past, the City has recognized employees with 20 or more <br />years of service. Since Mr. Schumacher worked for the City 18 years, the Council felt it <br />was not appropriate to give Mr. Schumacher special recognition. <br />Andy asked if the Mayor's Citizen Awards will be given this year. Dan said that he is <br />working on this matter. Originally, there was a committee of four (4) who solicited <br />recommendations for the award and then made a recommendation to the City Council. <br />Since some of the originally committee members no longer live in the City, other <br />members are being researched. Dan will bring this matter to the City Council in the <br />future. <br />CONSIDERATION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S CONTRACT, KIM <br />SULLIVAN <br />Kim explained that a Council Member has asked that this contract be reviewed. Bill said <br />that for 15 years, he operated on a verbal agreement. A formal contract was prepared. The <br />latest contract with the City expired in 1994. Additionally, the contract was with the firm <br />of Burke and Hawkins. This firm no longer exists. Bill said that he would update the <br />contract if that is the wish of the City Council. <br />Kim explained that she was asked to place this contract out for bid. She asked that the <br />City Council review the contract and then be prepared to discuss it at the next work <br />session. Kim asked that Chris be informed of this decision. <br />PAGE 8 <br />• <br />• <br />
