THIS IS IT . . . . For the Week of October 31 - November 4, 1994 ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION This week has been a week of fighting little but heated fires caused by the spirit of democracy and the election process. Many residents have called requesting clarification of information that they have read in political literature. One women called on Wednesday afternoon wanting to know why the City was changing the United States Constitution. She was confusing issues relating to the Charter amendment and was very contented to learn that the City was not changing the U.S. Constitution, but putting an amendment to the City Charter before the people. It was sad to listen to her confused state and wondering how many others in the community had questions, but would not take the time to call for clarification. Mary Saarion, Tim Ramacher, Tom Baumgart and I attended the Community-based Policing Conference in St Cloud last week. Mary and I attended only one day, Tim stayed for the two days and Tom attended all three days. We will be making a verbal report to the Council Monday night on what we learned about this new and exciting twist on an old police theme. Last week, Tim C. , Tim P. , and Mike interviewed the candidates for the replacement position of public works maintenance worker. They have selected a top candidate whom I will interview on Friday afternoon. Because the Council may be calling to order to finalize the Sherwood Estates Plat, you may also wish to consider approving the hiring of the recommended candidate at Monday night's meeting. This will allow the individual to begin his training as soon as possible and thereby alleviate some of the current work overload on the public work employees.
