Page 9 • September 8, 1997 Mounds View City Council MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Quick to Authorize the Clerk Administrator to Offer the Position of Community Development Director. Council member Stigney stated he still feels that the Council should looked at the staffing of the city and consider having only one Development Director rather than one for Community Development and one for Economic Development. Additionally,he does not feel the city should agree to give the applicant twelve days of sick leave and ten days of vacation leave which is not in accordance with the city's personnel policy. VOTE: 3 ayes 1 nay(Stigney) Motion Carried Brad Jahnke,8408 Eastwood Road,stated he is bothered that those in private sector have had to take pay and benefit cuts but those in the public sector have not had to do so. Mayor McCarty reminded him that Mounds View is competing with a lot of other cities for Economic Development and ultimately could affect what happens on real estate taxes within the city. Therefore,the hiring for this position should be considered an investment,and one would need to consider whether or not the city could attract good,quality development without a professional person in place to do that.
