1111111 • August 29, 1997 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator] Re: September 2, 1997 Work Session I hope everyone has a good holiday weekend. I will be out of town, and therefor out of telephone reach. If you need to get a hold of me, call my home number and I will check in for calls. Also, the Council should be aware that two candidates have filed so far for the vacant Council seat, Sherrie Gunn and Russ Nordstrom. Anyone filing for Council is being given a Council packet for each meeting until election day. Here some about what's on the agenda for Tuesday evening: Item 1 - EDC Vacancy: Cathy is contacting the three applicants to have them at the meeting Monday as requested by the Council. Item 2-Fire Board of Appeals: Fire Chief Zikmund will be in to discuss this with the Council The basic premise is to make the Fire Department Board of Directors the Fire Appeals Board instead of • the City Council. This allows the Department and Council to avoid internal disagreements with fire code interpretations. Appeals to the Department's decision can still go to the state. Blaine has already adopted this and I believe Spring Lake Park is planning to. Item 3 - Spring Lake Road Update: With the meetings that have been held and the high involvement from the residents, I thought it would be appropriate to have Mike Ulrich brief the Council on what is taking place. It is going well so far. Item 4- City Hall HVAC Proposals: Mike Ulrich will brief the Council on the vendor interviews for HVAC in City Hall. Item 5-Personnel Policies: We've enclosed for you the most recent work on the personnel policies. We still have quite a bit to do on them. I would prefer not to spend much time on this Monday evening, but rather have Council members contact me if you have questions or concerns about particular policies. I will need to go to the employees and review the policies in the near future and would just as soon know of Council member concerns prior so I can make changes where possible. Item 6-HAY Evaluation System: Ann Antonsen from Labor Relations Associates will be present to review the current HAY evaluation of the position descriptions with Council. Ann is very knowledgeable in this area and is used by the City in its collective bargaining agreements. Lynette Morgan and Bruce Kessel will also participate. • Item 7-Community Center Update: Cathy will brief the Council on the construction status of the CHS portion, review of the Community Center Task Force meeting of this past Thursday and
