Members of the Council suggested that the proposed position be referred to <br />as Grounds/Equipment Manager. Mr. Longville agreed. <br /> <br />The Golf Course Manager walked the Council through the proposed budget worksheet <br />from his staff report. He explained that his budget summary reflected an overall <br />savings of approximately $300,000. He stated that he thought that was a bit high but <br />expected the savings to be significant nonetheless. This included the transition from an <br />Assistant Clubhouse Manager to a Grounds/Equipment Manager. Council Member <br />Stigney inquired about why a golf course employee was being paid $7.75. He indicated <br />that that amount was between classes according to AFSCME’s labor agreement. The <br />Golf Course Manager indicated that would be corrected. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that he agreed that there were two many full-time, <br />year-round employees in the clubhouse but he didn’t necessarily agree that the golf <br />course needed a full-time, year-round Grounds/Equipment Manager. He indicated that <br />he’d like to see a job description and a salary recommendation from Labor Relations. <br />The Golf Course Manager responded that he expected the annual salary to be <br />approximately $30,000. Council Member Stigney reiterated his concern. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Thomas. To recess for five minutes. <br /> <br />Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty concurred with Council Member Stigney and indicated that he <br />had not had enough time to review the proposal because he had just received it right <br />before the meeting. Council Member Marty suggested that this item be delayed until <br />the Council had an opportunity to further review the information provided. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas responded that the City had hired the new Golf Course <br />Manager to make such recommendations for change when necessary. She further <br />stated that the City had been waiting long enough to correct some of the issues at the <br />Bridges and she saw no reason why the Council couldn’t move forward. She indicated <br />that with a salary recommendation of approximately $30,000, even if that ended up <br />being lower than expected, the savings would still be significant. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Quick. To Reorganize the Golf Course by eliminating the <br />Assistant Clubhouse Manager position and creating a Grounds/Equipment Manager <br /> <br /> Ayes - 3 Nays – 2 Motion carried. <br /> <br />The Council adjourned to closed session. <br /> <br />8. CLOSED SESSION <br /> <br /> A. To Discuss Threatened/Potential Litigation <br />
