• MEMO February 27, 1998 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator Re: March 2, 1998 City Council Work Session We have a number of things both easy and important to go over on Monday. Here is what is on the agenda: Item 1 - Chamber of Commerce Director,Carol Frey: Carol and I have talked a couple of times about the goings on of the Chamber and the City. I suggested she attend a meeting and go over what the Chamber has been doing, particularly in Mounds View. Item 2 -Parking Code Enforcement: Jim Ericson has been working on informing some residents of possible parking violations. We realize Council, as well as staff,has received several calls on this and thought it best to come to the work session and review what has been done to date and the intentions behind the effort. While expecting that some residents would not like the contact, no • violations have been cited and it is simply hoped at this time that the effort could prevent any from being made. However, we realize opinions may differ and perhaps we should talk about it. Item 3 - Police Department Quarterly Report: The Police Chief will be present to review his department work. He will have some code changes to discuss and answer questions about enforcement and other police work he can discuss. Item 4 - Finance Department Quarterly Report: Bruce will brief the Council on work in his department. The Hay points have come back and have been shared with the employees to a mixed review. Individuals have the option of appealing and Monday is the last day for doing that. Bruce can go over this and his other items on Monday. Item 5 - Salary Step Plan: This item was placed on the agenda by a vote of the Council at the request of Council member Stigney. Bruce and I will offer assistance in explaining the existing policy if asked. Item 6 - Community Center Bids: Bids were opened this week although they have not been reported to me as of yet. I am going to WAI's office this afternoon to review them with staff and prepare for Monday evening. Dean Olson will be present and I have asked Mary Saarion to inform the community center task force to be present on Monday around 8 p.m. for this item. We will review the bids and options for the center along with the comparison to the budget for the improvements in order for some direction to be made, likely March 9 by the Council, assuming the bidding is complete.
