Informational Material for 12-4-84 City Council Meeting Page 3 to get a clear understanding of what is planned south of loth Street, the staff has invited Washington County to make a presentation to the City Council at its 12-18 meeting. Washington County Engineer, Dick Herold, and the new Public Works Director, Don Wisniewski, will be present at this 12-•18 meeting at 8:00 p.m. A notice will be sent to Dorothy Lyons requesting her attendance at this meeting. Hopefully, this will eliminate the City Council getting caught in a dispute between the Hammes' and the County. 8. Every year the League of Minnesota Cities offers a conference for newly elected officials to help orientate them to their new postiois. Attached foryour information is a flyer discussing the 1985 planned workshop which is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 9, 1985, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Holiday Inn in Bloomington. This is a very good workshop offered by the League of Cities and the staff strongly recommends that all new Council members attend this workshop. It would also be a very good refresher for all of our current Council members. The $40 registration cost is well worth the price of this introduction to the responsibilities of elected officials for the entire Council. The 1985 Mayor and City Council budget catagory includes $500 for conferences and schools so funds are definitely available for this conference. 9. In October, the staff was requested to advertise for an individual to assist the City in taking minutes for the Planning Commission meetings . This was requested by the Council in an effort to obtain these minutes in a more timely fashion. The staff will be interviewing Sharyn Coleman on Monday, December 3 for this minute taking position. Sharyn has been a temporary secretarial/general office/typist worker for Jean Thorne Temporary Services since 1980. She is requesting approximately $6.00 per hour for her services. A recommendation on this position will be presented to the City Council at its 12-18-84 meeting. 10. Attached for your information is the signed temporary slope and construction easement from Castle Design . This easement will allow the City to construct the drainage mprovements on its lots from April 15 to May 15, 1985. This construction easement and drainage work is completely seperate from the pending lawsuit and depositions that are being requested from the City Council. A seperate memo has been sent to the Council indicating that the date of the depositions has been requested to be changed to 12-18-84 instead of the planned 12-4-84. Again, if any Council member has a difficulty attending the •.r executive session at 5:00 p.m. on 12-18 or the depositions beginning at 5:30 p.m. on 12-18, please notify me as soon as possible. 11. Comparable Worth Attached for your information is a handout from the MAMA organization on Comparable Worth. This handout gives a very good explanation of what is being proposed by the MAMA organization to comply with the Comparable Worth State law. You should note that they anticipate that the charges to a City the size of Lake Elmo to be lower than what I indicated at the last City Council meeting. Also, an excellent explanation of the methodology of how the "worth" of one employee will be compared to another is provided.
