Mounds View City Council March 27, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 21 <br /> <br /> <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated between April 25 and May 29, Mr. Brimeyer <br />would recruit candidates for the administrator position, with the application deadline being May <br />30. She indicated that from June 5 through June 27, Mr. Brimeyer would review and screen <br />candidates, and on July 3, he would present a report of the final candidates to the Council. She <br />stated there was an issue with regard to the July 3 date, in terms of the Council’s schedule, in that <br />this was just prior to a holiday, and the Council should determine if they would hold their regular <br />meeting that date, or later in the week. <br /> <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated July 10 through the 25th, Mr. Brimeyer would <br />conduct background and reference checks, and interviews would be held on July 28 and 29. She <br />advised that the City would have a new administrator in August or September of 2000, <br />depending upon the starting date of the individual selected. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney suggested in light of the conflict presented with the July 3 date, Mr. <br />Brimeyer might touch bases with the Council regarding the results of the search, so that this <br />could be completed by June 25. He advised that it would be better to expedite this matter, rather <br />than delay. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin indicated that during the search for the City’s Police Chief, Mr. Brimeyer had <br />also run into some scheduling difficulties as a result of his service to his community. He stated <br />the Council would attempt to be accommodating to Mr. Brimeyer’s schedule as possible. <br />. <br />I.

He stated at that time, he had removed <br />this item from the agenda, because he had not calculated the additional pay being proposed, <br />relative to the pay he was currently receiving. He indicated Assistant to the City Administrator <br />Reed has researched information from other cities pertaining to these types of considerations, and <br />after reviewing this information, he decided it would be appropriate to come back to the Council <br />with two resolutions. <br /> <br />City Administrator Whiting indicated Resolution 5422 appoints Director of Public Works, <br />Michael Ulrich to the position of Interim Administrator. He stated Resolution 5427 pertains to a <br />City policy to determine the wage adjustment for any management employee in an interim <br />position for either the City Administrator or a Department Head. He indicated this issue has <br />come forward in the past, and it has been dealt with on an “as discussed” basis. He explained <br />that the information gathered from other communities did not point to one specific approach to <br />dealing with these situations. He stated his thoughts were that a relatively simple policy, which <br />would clarify this, would assist the Council and staff in determining how to proceed in these <br />considerations, and would also prevent a possible negotiating situation. <br /> <br />City Administrator Whiting stated Resolution 5427 provides for a wage adjustment increase of <br />15 percent.
