Mounds View City Council May 28, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 15 Council Member Stigney asked whether the City should set the amount to be charged for lessons rather than the professional. Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated the issue came up last year because the independent contractor charged more than the City does for lessons. She then indicated that either the City’s rate or the rate of the independent contractor would apply, whichever is greater. Council Member Stigney suggested amending the wording of the Resolution to make it consistent concerning the use of independent contractor and professional. Mayor Sonterre suggested it may be more appropriate to use the term independent contractor because the City has on Staff a professional. City Attorney Riggs indicated it would be fine to use the term contractor. Council Member Stigney asked who determines the amount of insurance required. City Attorney Riggs indicated that there is a certain standard for insurance and suggested the City contact the McGuire agency to find out what that amount would be. Council Member Marty said he would like someone to explain what item M means. City Attorney Riggs explained that item means that the contract is specific to this individual and cannot be assigned to anyone else. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty.
