LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 4-16-85 PAGE 9 It is Mr. Schaefer's belief that all types of alcoholic beverages should be prohibited from use in Washington County Parks and ( Recreation Areas, in particular the 2,200 acre Lake Elmo Regional Park Reserve. His reason for this is that when Washington County taxpayers are contributing many hundreds of thousands of dollars to the enforcement of drunk driving laws, to the treatment of alcoholic and chemical dependency programs, and to the prevention of further abuse in these areas, it would smack of hypocrisy for the elected officials to condone the use of alcoholic beverages in our parks, notwithstanding the fact that it is intoxicating or non -intoxicating. M/S/P Mazzara/Armstrong - That the City Administrator advise County Commissioner Artie Schaefer that the Lake Elmo City Council concurs with his concerns for prohibiting the use of intoxicating or non -intoxicating beverages in the Lake Elmo Regional Park Reserve. (Motion carried 5-0) 3. Hiring of Administrative Secretary Dunn stated that the personnel committee has been dissolved and the Council, as a committee of the whole, will be dealing with personnel. In this Secretary position, it wouldn't be necessary for the entire Council to interview the applicants, but would prefer to see several Council members involved in the interview process, and ultimately making a recommendation. He would like to see Rose Armstrong do this interviewing, based on the fact that she has done secretarial/office type work, and also Mayor Morgan as he is well seasoned in the area of interviewing and hiring employees. Mazzara stated that he feels this is something that should be handled by the Administrator, but has no problem with the Council members hiring for his position if they chose to do so. Morgan stated that the Administrator could do the screening and he and Rose could help with the final selection. The Administrator stated that the last time a secretary was hired, there was just one round of interviews. Morgan then suggested that he and Rose interview the canidate that the Administrator selects, prior to actually hiring her. Armstrong feels that the most important factor is that we speed the process up. 9. City Administrator's Report A.
