. <br />• <br />Mounds View City Council February 8, 2010 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br />Council Member Gunn asked if it was worth hiring and training the engineering intern for 2010. <br />City Administrator Ericson suggested the specific term of the position be changed instead <br />through an additional Item on the Resolution, Item 4 could read "Funding in subsequent years <br />shall be subject to Council authorization." This would eliminate the need for the Council to <br />review the Resolution and would be handled through the budget process. <br />Council Member Stigney did not want the engineering position buried in the budget discussion. <br />Mayor Flaherty questioned if the engineering intern should be treated like a seasonal employee. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he has made an amendment to the motion and would like the <br />Council to vote on the motion on the table. <br />Council Member Mueller suggested staff bring this item to the Council in November to assure <br />that staff does not lose the position after December of 2010. Director of Public Works DeBar <br />agreed with this suggestion stating he would not want to lose the skilled intern and have to <br />retrain a new hire.

He noted the resolution would take that action and incorporates the Tier II Sewer Plan <br />information. <br />Council Member Mueller asked what would happen if the City could not meet what the Met <br />Council was predicting and forecasting, as the land use changes from 2010-2030 for the City of <br />• Mounds View.
