Mounds View City Council February 24, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 8 Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated he was told by New Brighton that they could not 1 give the matter top priority but could devote the time necessary to get the job done. He then said 2 that he had spoken to the City Manager of New Brighton and there would be a time crunch when 3 the applications are received to sort through them and the time needed is dependent upon the 4 number of applications received. 5 6 Council Member Marty indicated he would like to post the job with the criteria he submitted to 7 the paper. 8 9 Mayor Linke asked what the requirements of Council are for an Administrator. 10 11 Council Member Marty recommended using the job description that was used a few years ago. 12 13 Council Member Stigney indicated the posting should be available from the last time. 14 15 Mayor Linke acknowledged the application of Mr. Ericson for the position and thanked him for 16 his interest. 17 18 Mayor Linke indicated he would like to authorize First Site Staffing to work with Staff in 19 preparing information for Council review and approval to move this process along. 20 21 Council Member Stigney asked Staff to verify the position of New Brighton as to what they are 22 willing to provide for the City and the timeline in which they can provide the services.
