City Council Memo -August 20, 1999 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator Re: August 23, 1999 City Council Meeting Another busy week, here's what we have on the agenda: 7. B. Resolution 5362 Authorizing Interfund Advance from Special Projects Fund to Golf Course Fund: This is in follow up to the discussion of this past Monday evening regarding the ongoing operations of the golf course. By passing this resolution, the operations of the golf course should remain whole for the next four full budget years. 7. C. Resolution 5363 Authorizing a Golf Course Assistant Position: This resolution also follows up on the discussion of Monday. As John stated Monday he has been working without an assistant since May. Since our work is seasonable, the best way to keep someone is to make the position full time and year around. This will be the case with this position as well, and with approval of this resolution,the hiring process will commence. 10. A. Public Hearing regarding Oversized Garage CUP: The Council was informed of this conditional use permit at the August 2 work session. The garage is considerably larger than the house.

Public Hearing regarding Chapter 202 Entitled Public Improvements: Mike's report details the changes to this chapter of the code for public improvements and assessments stemming from the policy changes from the Streets Committee report. Mike will be on hand to review the provisions if there are any questions. 10. E.

Well over a year ago, the negotiation process commenced and when it was clear that an impasse prevented resolution of various provisions,the matter went to mediation and finally arbitration. The agreement you have before you is the language settled upon by the arbitrator last month, and now signed by the union members. The City is now obligated to abide by the language and conditions therein, so no modification can be made. The provisions in this agreement apply to the officers for fiscal years 1998 and 1999, where only in a couple of minor instances (uniform allowance)
