Mayor Coughlin asked the Council if anyone would like to remove Items for discussion. City Attorney Riggs stated he had discussed Item 7B of the Consent Agenda, the Interfund Advance from the Special Projects Fund to the Golf Course, with City Administrator Whiting and staff. He stated the City Code, Section 203.08, Subdivision 5, indicates the approval by resolution, by a four- fifths vote of the entire Council. He stated that the language was somewhat ambiguous, but would appear to indicate that the Code requires, with three Members present, all three votes in the affirmative for approval. He explained it probably means the entire Council, and would require four affilIuative votes, at any given time. He stated, as the Council did not have four Members present, it would appear that this item could not be approved at this time. Mayor Coughlin requested that Item B be removed from the Consent Agenda, until a later date. Council Member Stigney requested the removal of Items C and D, for additional discussion. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Coughlin. To Approve the Consent Agenda for Items A, E, and F as presented. Ayes—3 Nays—0 Motion carried. Council Member Stigney stated that Item C, was a resolution in consideration of hiring a full-time position as an assistant superintendent at the golf course with a 1999 salary of$28,000. He stated the salary range for this position was not indicated, and inquired in that regard. He stated that he did not support a full-time position, for three to four months of work per year at the golf course, and believed this should be a seasonal position. John Hammerschmidt, General Manager of the golf course, clarified the full-time position, as opposed to a seasonal full-time position. He stated landscaping positions, as indicated in that date's newspaper,range in pay between$9.00 and$12.00 per hour. He stated to hire an assistant with any qualifications, on a seasonal basis, the City would be looking at $15.00 per hour. He stated, if you did this for the 40 weeks, and during those weeks the person worked 50 hours per week, there would be overtime to consider, and the City would be paying$28,000 to $30,000 for those nine months on 7C:\ADM IN\MINUTES\CC\8-23-99.CC
