LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 17, 1989 PAGE-12 A. Planning Commission Recommendations: PZ Meeting Dates B. City Administrator Contract This matter was continued from the January 3rd meeting, as the Council did not receive a copy of the Contract. The City Attorney has reviewed the contract. Councilman Williams suggested changing: "administrator is employed for an indefinite term" to "employed for a 1 year term". The City Attorney advised the Council that the insertion of the word "indefinite" was to the City's benefit. Williams commented he had no feelings, one way or the other, if the $100 car allowance was appropriate in Lake Elmo. He suggested the Administrator keep a log of driving expenses for 3 or 4 months to see if a $100 car allowance is adequate. Then based on the log, the Council would make a determination. M/No Second Williams/ -• to request the City Administrator compile a car expense log for three months and present this to the Council, then the Council will determine the allowance for the future. M/S/P Graves/Moe - resolved that the Contract, between the City of Lake Elmo, and City Administrator Patricia Morrison, is hereby approved. (Motion carried 5-0). C. U.S. Olympic Festival --Discussion D. Workshop for City Council and City Administrator Councilman Williams felt there was a need for a workshop in order to smooth out some rough spots, which he had previously referred to in a memo he had written. Councilman Graves had no problem with a workshop, but wanted to know what topics would be discussed. Williams added, the Planning Commission also had concerns on procedure. Councilman Moe responded his concern wasn't with the Administrator's performance, but with the Planning Commission. Moe asked for the concerns in writing because if he felt the concerns were not justified, he would not attend the meeting. With this comment, he called for adjournment and left the meeting. Administrator Morrison welcomed a workshop, asked the topics to be prioritized, because once these concerns can be resolved, we can concentrate our energies on City business. A workshop meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, January 25th, 12 noon at City Hall. M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to adjourn the City Council meeting at 11:55 p.m. (Motion carried 4-0). . ..............
