Memo <br />To: <br />Mayor and City Council <br />From: <br />Mary Kueffner <br />Date: <br />March 21, 1995 <br />Subject: <br />City Planner <br />I met with Ann Pung-Terwedo today and she accepted the job as City Planner/Assistant <br />to City Administrator. <br />On the basis of her qualifications and experience, I offered her the high of the pay range <br />of $33,700 plus benefits identical to all other employees. Because of her qualifications, <br />we discussed the possibility of doing a performance review after three months rather than <br />the six month review we give to most of our entry level jobs. <br />We negotiated starting out with two weeks of vacation. She indicated she has no plans <br />for this summer, but has planned a family vacation in October. <br />Ann also asked about continuing education and said she goes to the State Planning <br />Conference every year, and would like to continue. The cost for the conference is <br />approximately $500 annually. She would also like to retain her membership in the <br />Minnesota Chapter of the American Planning Association. That membership is <br />approximately $250.00 annually. <br />One issue that Ann and I discussed, but I haven't been discussed with the council is <br />vehicle mileage. Jim McNamara has a city vehicle, and I receive $100 per month for car <br />Allowance. I would estimate that Ann will put on as many miles as I do travelling for the <br />City, and therefore I recommend that she be given a $100 per month car allowance. <br />She uses "Word Perfect" and would prefer to have her own computer. She will use our <br />secretarial staff as well as do some of her own work -- much like I do. <br />I have not been able to reach the references she listed on her application, and I expect to <br />hear back from them tomorrow. I have talked with one former council member from <br />Stillwater and she had nothing but good things to say about Ann -- her professionalism, <br />her ability to work with their Planning Commission, and commented on the efforts she <br />put in working with Stillwater Township trying to resolve their annexation issues. <br />
