Mounds View City Council January 12, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney commented that it seems to him that Council is going two ways. The 1 <br />Mayor has said that if sitting members were to reapply they would automatically get it but now it 2 <br />seems that is not the case so it seems that it depends upon who is applying whether that is true. 3 <br />He further commented that he would like to see all the applications rather than only these two. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Mayor Linke indicated that Council Members were given the applications from the people that he 6 <br />is recommending. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he would like to see all of the applications for the positions. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Mayor Linke indicated it is his position and duty as Mayor to pick who he feels should be on this 11 <br />Commission and he asks for ratification by the Council. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Council Member Stigney commented that the Police Civil Service Commission is supposed to be 14 <br />entirely independent of the Council but when he sees a certain appointment on there he is 15 <br />concerned. 16 <br /> 17 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Quick. To Postpone Appointments to the Police Civil Service 18 <br />Commission. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Council Member Gunn asked whether Mary Shea would serve another term on the Commission. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Mayor Linke indicated she is being reappointed. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Council Quick asked whether Mary Shea put in an application for the position. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Mayor Linke indicated he did not ask her to do that. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Council Member Quick indicated the Resolution should be amended to include correct term 29 <br />expiration dates in order to keep them staggered. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Council Member Marty indicated he spoke to Chief Sommer and was told that there are 125 32 <br />applicants for the police officer positions. He then asked whether delaying appointments would 33 <br />affect the hiring timeline. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Chief Sommer indicated that he has met with the existing two members of the Commission and it 36 <br />would be helpful to appoint as soon as possible but said he could make it work if a short delay is 37 <br />necessary. He further commented that the Commission would need to review the sergeant 38 <br />promotion very soon. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Council Member Quick commented that there is one member on the Commission whose term 41 <br />has expired who continues to attend the meetings and that same person is the one that the Mayor 42 <br />will not bring forward for reappointment. 43 <br /> 44
