Mounds View City Council May 28, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />F. Resolution 5776 Hiring a Temporary Employee to Fill the Cable TV <br />Technician Position. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated he had been asked to supervise the cable operation when Mr. <br />Toth resigned but has discovered a need for assistance on a temporary basis. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated he had come in to discuss this matter with Mr. Hansen because <br />he had received calls concerning the quality of the cable casting and was wondering if the <br />position has been posted. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated the position has not been posted because there is a cable <br />meeting scheduled for next week to discuss the position. She then noted that this item would be <br />on Council’s work session agenda on Monday. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated the City had ample notice of Mr. Toth’s resignation and <br />asked why the position was not advertised and filled immediately. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated this position was discussed at a work session and there was <br />some discussion on changing the position. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney said he felt the position that is vacated should be filled. He then said <br />he did not agree with hiring someone to cover the position at $35.00 rather than filling the <br />position. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated she would advertise for and fill the position if Council <br />directs her to do so but noted there was disagreement on how to proceed with this matter and that <br />is why the position has not been filled. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty said he felt the position should be posted as it stands right now. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated this discussion would be more appropriate for the work session and <br />suggested dealing with hiring of the temporary person. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Sonterre. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5776, a <br />Resolution Hiring a Temporary Employee to Fill the Cable TV Technician Position. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre suggested a friendly amendment to the motion to include that the hours should <br />not exceed 8 hours per week. <br /> <br />The Motioner agreed to the friendly amendment. <br />
