have the provisions been applied to their work conditions. Therefore, with this agreement, those conditions that have been withheld will be released to cover this year and last. The Council is advised to approve the agreement as presented and if there are provisions members wish to have changed, please advise me for their consideration for the next contract which will negotiated likely this fall for next year and maybe beyond. 10. F. Resolution 5360 Abating A Nuisance Vehicle at 7656 Greenfield Avenue: Please refer to the staff memo on this item. 10. G. Capital Improvement Request for Changing Space and Showers at the MVCC: Terri Blattenbauer's memo covers this item, which has been reviewed by the Council at the work session. 10. H. Review of Staffing Positions for Housing Inspector, Planning Associate and Assistant to the City Administrator: At the work session, we discussed combining the code enforcement functions of the Planning Associate with the housing inspection functions of the housing inspector position, and moving the housing program management functions of the housing inspector to the Planning Associate. Some other changes would be incorporated as well into the Planning Associate position which would take advantage of Jim Ericson's abilities, and which should result in an adjusted compensation. Rick's memo outlines the cost details of this move. I feel that this is a cost effective move that allows the City to use Ericson's planning and program management abilities, while relieving him of the less technical but time consuming responsibilities of code enforcement. In other words, I see this as a good move for the City and for Jim. The new position of housing inspector can start out with no ambiguity of responsibilities as well. In our discussion, I noted that applications had closed for the Assistant to the City Administrator position. I have had the applications pointed and will attempt setting up interviews this next week for a selection soon thereafter. I mentioned that I would be considering Kevin Carroll for the position as well, which will again require some thought on duty assignments in that eventuality. In my discussions with Rick, we have approached this from the perspective of making minimal changes in overall cost, recognizing and rewarding known meritorious work, capitalizing on personal growth potential, and meeting the needs of the City. As is always the case with good employees,their personal growth and abilities do create opportunities for the City to received greater benefit,but that can also come with some additional cost. In this case, we have tried to maintain a balance. The majority of the Council seemed to indicate that the general concept was acceptable. Rick's figures show the determined cost. If those mesh, staff will proceed accordingly. 10. I.
