COUNCIL MINUTES <br />DRAFT <br />February 8, 2016 <br />46 FINANCE DEPARTMENT REPORT <br />47 <br />48 There was no report from the Finance Department. <br />49 <br />5o ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT REPORT <br />51 <br />52 3A) Consider Appointment of Recreation Supervisor. Administrator Karlson reviewed his <br />53 written request to approve the appointment of Alisha Lukin-Sobolewski as Recreation Supervisor. <br />54 She has received and accepted a conditional job offer and staff is awaiting the results of a background <br />55 check. He is confident she will be a good fit for the position. <br />56 <br />57 Council Member Kusterman moved to approve the appointment of Alisha Lukin-Sobolewski to the <br />58 position of Recreation Supervisor. Council Member Maher seconded the motion. Motion carried on <br />59 a voice vote. <br />60 <br />61 313) Consider Approval of Charter Commission's Request for League of Minnesota Cities <br />62 (LMC) Assistance — Administrator Karlson reviewed the request of the Charter Commission to <br />63 receive council authority to hire the LMC as they continue to discuss a proposed charter amendment <br />64 regarding wards. <br />65 <br />66 Council Member Rafferty clarified that the assistance would be related only to work on a ward <br />67 amendment. <br />68 <br />69 Mayor Reinert noted that the council has discussed this matter with some Commission members at a <br />7o recent work session. Although he doesn't support an amendment to add wards to the city, he thinks <br />71 this will be an opportunity for the two groups (council and charter commission) to have discussion <br />72 together. Bringing forward an amendment proposal is certainly within the authority of the <br />73 commission so the request for assistance from the LMC is appropriate. <br />74 <br />75 Council Member Rafferty moved to approve the request of the Lino Lakes Charter Commission to <br />76 receive and pay for assistance from the LMC Charter Assistance Program in drafting an amendment <br />77 to the City Charter regarding wards. Council Member Maher seconded the motion. <br />78 <br />79 Council Member Kusterman noted that he understands the amendment itself is about city governance <br />80 and although he doesn't agree with enacting a ward system for a city this size, he respects that it is a <br />81 decision that can be made by the voters. <br />82 <br />83 Council Member Manthey added that with a number of new members on the Charter Commission, he <br />84 hopes they will be able to have a full and studious discussion of the matter. <br />85 <br />86 The motion was adopted on a voice vote. <br />87 <br />88 PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT REPORT <br />89 <br />2 <br />
