He pointed out a typographical error in the sixth bullet item and then suggested that <br />language be added to require that the manager maintain records on grounds maintenance <br />including the fertilization schedule and application rates. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre suggested having Staff create a document that the manager would use to <br />document the course maintenance for Council approval. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney suggested that the language under physical demands be changed to <br />reflect that the manager would regularly be exposed to mechanical parts and then said he is not <br />sure if moderately quiet accurately reflects the noise of the equipment this person would be <br />using. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Thomas. To Approve Item 6M, Resolution 5696, as Amended, to <br />Approve the Golf Course Manager’s Position Description. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />N. Resolution 5687, Authorizing Staff to Seek Repayment of the Overpayment for <br />the Fitness Equipment. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Mayor Sonterre. To Approve Item 6N, Resolution 5687, <br />Authorizing Staff to Seek Repayment of the Overpayment for the Fitness Equipment. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked that Resolution 5687 be read. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller read Resolution 5687. <br /> <br />Steven Berk of 2614 Louisa Avenue commented that he did not feel the Mayor’s comments of no <br />involvement in the process were accurate because he was on the Park and Recreation Committee <br />that approved the purchase and then he used the City’s money to establish a credit line. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre said that is an inaccuracy. <br /> <br />Mr. Berk indicated that if the Mayor was not involved previously, he is now because he will be <br />involved in the vote on the issue. He then asked what happened to the $191.10 in sales tax and <br />who paid that. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated that sales tax was not figured into the costs because the City <br />did not pay sales tax on the purchase. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre explained that the former finance director had mistakenly informed him that the <br />purchase was tax exempt because it was being made through the YMCA. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre clarified that the City was never charged for the sales tax. <br />
