July 26, 1976 Page 14 Admin. Achen explained Resolution No. 750 requesting Metropolitan Council HRA to apply for Rehabilitation Grant Funds for imple- mentation within the City of Mounds View. He stated this resolu- tion is to request participation in the program; the City will know at a later date what the City's responsibilities in terms of monies will be. This is to encourage and facilitate the rehabilitation of homes through grants, loans, etc. -- basically to meet the minimum Code standards, not luxury items. MSP (Hodges - Pickar) to adopt Resolution No. 750. 4 ayes ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT - Admin. Achen indicated that the City expects to receive HUD authorization to commence Community Development Block Grant housing inspection program on July 27th. He also stated the the Mounds View School District will be dedicating the lighted All - District Athletic Field at Irondale, September 17, at the Irondale vs. Mounds View football game. The District would like the Councilmen to attend and will be sending letters at a later date. Also, the 1975 financial statement will be reviewed at Council's next agenda session. Admin. Achen stated that Steven Rose, Building Inspector, will be offered a job with another City at the end of the week. The other City had phoned the Admin. basically out of courtesy to inform Mounds View of the offer. Admin. Achen stated he would like to recommend a salary increase commensurate with the responsibilites of the Building Inspectors position. Should Mr. Rose accept the offered position with the other City, the Admin. would like to see the increased salary so that he can fill the position with a capable person. Recommended increase is from $1,150 /mo. to $1,300 /mo. and the title to be established as Building and Zoning Official. Then, beginning, January 1, 1977, increase the salary 6%, bringing the position's salary to 85% of the Metropolitan average for the position. Admin. Achen stated the current salary rate would recruit only a building inspector with no supervisory capabilities. Our present inspector is capable and merits the raise. However, the major concern is to be able to recruit a capable person should Mr. Rose decide to accept the other City's offer. Councilman Baumgartner asked where the additional financing for the raise would come from? Admin. Achen responded from the excess indicated at the last Council meeting. The balance for this year would be $1,000 increase. MSP (Pickar - Shelquist) Effective August 1, 1976, to authorize City Administrator to make a salary adjustment for the additional sum of $150 per month for Steve Rose, the increase to be used to find a replacement if Mr. Rose does indeed leave. 4 ayes Atty. Meyers presented a resolution to authorize reconveyance of certain parcels of land to the State of MN, whereby they could reconvey the land to certain interested parties. This is the land near Ardan Ave. and Knollwood. When the new street was put through, there was surplus land left and that is what we are reconveying to the State.
