<br /> <br />Item No: 11B(1) <br />Meeting Date: June 28, 2010 <br />Type of Business: Admin Report <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Administrator Report <br /> <br /> <br />1. Police Chief Recruitment Process <br /> <br />As the Council knows, the Police Civil Service Commission has certified an eligibility list with <br />two names for the position of police chief. Subsequent to the announced list, Council <br />members have been meeting individually with the top candidate on an informal basis. If the <br />Council has had ample opportunity to meet with the top candidate, I will need direction from <br />the Council to proceed with scheduling the background check & investigation as well as the <br />psychological evaluation. The Council can provide this direction by a motion, unless the <br />Council would rather approve a resolution providing such direction. Staff will attempt to have <br />a resolution ready by Monday just in case. <br /> <br />2. Employee Appreciation Luncheon <br /> <br />The 2010 employee appreciation event was held on Wednesday, June 16, 2010, from 11 am <br />to 1 pm. The event was well attended, the food was tasty and many Council members <br />participated. From the feedback I’ve received, the event was a success. We were able to <br />keep the costs under the adjusted budget for the lunch. Thanks to all who helped make it a <br />great day, and a special note of thanks to Desaree who coordinated all aspects of the event. <br /> <br />3. League of MN Cities Annual Conference <br /> <br />Council members Gunn and Mueller attended the League of MN Cities conference in Saint <br />Cloud, as did Finance Director Beer and I. Between the four of us, we shall have gleaned <br />just about all the information possible from the variety of sessions, and no doubt one or all of <br />us will be able to provide a comprehensive update to the rest of the group as to our <br />assessments, observations and insights. <br /> <br />4. Quarterly Report <br /> <br />With Desaree’s assistance, I will be preparing and presenting a quarterly report in July to <br />update the Council on administrative activities through months of April, May and June. If the <br />Council would like us to provide follow up on anything in particular or out of the ordinary, <br />please let us know in advance of the presentation. <br />
