He explained this project started in 2014 when <br />design services were ordered. He stated in 2015, the City moved the project forward and ran into <br />problems with several easements, which delayed the project one year.

He indicated this project came in $50,500 under budget. Staff <br />recommended the Council accept the improvements and approve the final payment. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller thanked City Attorney Riggs, Public Works Director Peterson, City <br />Administrator Ericson, and Interim City Administrator Zikmund for working so diligently on the <br />easement issues in order to complete this trail segment. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Gunn.

Resolution 8859A, Approving the Hire of Nicholas Henly as Building <br />Official. <br /> <br />City Planner/Supervisor Sevald requested the Council approve the hire of Nicholas Henly as the <br />City’s Building Official. He reported the City has had a vacancy in this position since late <br />September. The City has been contracting these services in the interim. He commented on the <br />hiring process and noted the City had seven applicants apply for this position. After completing <br />interviews, staff recommended the hire of Nicholas Henly. He also recommended this position be <br />changed from non-exempt to exempt. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked why staff was recommending a change to the exempt status. City <br />Planner/Supervisor Sevald explained this change would remove the hourly rate and allow the <br />building official to work more than 40 hours per week if a storm situation were to arise. Interim <br />City Administrator Zikmund reported the newly approved job description points to this position <br />being exempt. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller questioned when Mr. Henly would be starting with the City.
