• CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION FEBRUARY 9, 2005 APPROVED 1 2 Sergeant Kent Strege advised the general idea is a "wall of fame" mural to show what the 3 Police Department does and represents. The proposed location for the mural is outside 4 the Department's classroom. The mural will include a painting as well as recognition of 5 officers, volunteers and residents. The Department took their ideas for the mural to 6 students at Centennial High School for draft ideas. 7 8 Karen Anderson, Volunteer Coordinator for the Police Department, stated the Department 9 wanted to get the youth in the community involved. She noted there would be 10 restrictions and conditions on the final drawing. The wall is approximately 17 feet by 9 11 feet. 12 13 It was the consensus of the Council for the Police Department to move forward with a 14 temporary mural for the Police Department lobby wall. 15 16 CIVIC COMPLEX MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL RESTRUCTURING, DAN 17 TESCH 18 19 Administration Director Tesch advised last year, the Council approved a budget that 20 included moving the custodian from a 100% fte (full time equivalent) to 75%. Wayne's 21 departure has caused Staff to re-evaluate this position. It is the recommendation of the 22 Public Services Director that this position once again be considered a full time employee. 23 The budget will be amended (i.e. adjustment in temporary salaries) so that this adjustment 24 will not have an effect on the overall budget. 25 26 Administration Director Tesch stated Kay Stansbury has been working part-time as a 27 cleaner at City Hall since July, 2001. Wayne's resignation has given the City the 28 opportunity to offer Kay a full-time position as custodian. Ms. Stansbury's performance 29 to date has been exemplary. 30 31 This item will appear on the regular Council agenda Monday, February 14, 2005, 6:30 32 p.m. 33 34 REVIEW NEW RECREATION DEPARTMENT TIERED FEE STRUCTURE, 35 REGISTRATION PROCESS, AND PROGRAM CHANGES, RICK DEGARDNER 36 37 Public Services Director DeGardner advised beginning this spring, there are several 38 significant changes related to the Parks and Recreation Department. The most 39 substantive changes pertain to program fees and the registration process. The Department 40 has converted fees for most of the programs to a tiered rate system. Those programs with 41 the new tiered -rate system will have a regular fee and a Lino Lakes resident fee, which is 42 lower. 43 44 Public Services Director DeGardner stated the process to register for programs will 45 change dramatically. In summary, all resident registrations received (by mail, fax, drop 46 box) by February 28 will receive first priority. Resident registrations (phone-in, walk-in) 47 will be accepted beginning March 3 — they will receive second priority. General 48 registration will begin March 7. At this time, anyone who wishes to register may do so.
