Mounds View City Council December 9, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 15 <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated that she, the City Administrator, an HR Manager <br />from the League, the Chair of the Commission, and the Police Chief from Brooklyn Park Police <br />Department conducted the interviews. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney commented that all the interviews and recommendations actually took <br />place before the elections. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty said good point. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />F. Resolution 5895, a Resolution Appointing a Golf Course Manager <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To Postpone the Hiring of a Golf Course Manager until <br />the Council can Discuss Some Issues Brought to his Attention Regarding the Position and its <br />Pay. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas asked what the items of concern are. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that the City of New Brighton does not pay its golf course <br />manager full time year round they pay for 10 months per year and two months the course is <br />closed and the salary is based on 10 months so he questions why Mounds View would hire <br />someone for year round. He then indicated that the maximum salary for the New Brighton <br />position is $45,270 and Mounds View is proposing to hire a golf course manager at $59,400 <br />increasing to$62,700 after six months and to $66,000 after one year. He further commented that <br />the City needs to look at compensation and how to fund the golf course if the City wants to turn <br />the course around. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he would like to refer the matter to a work session for <br />discussion. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas commented that the New Brighton and Mounds View courses are <br />different. She then said that the City posted to fill a position that was approved in the <br />management plan for the golf course last year and she is not sure why it would be appropriate <br />now, after having gone through the entire process, to change the position. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas indicated the position was posted, interviews conducted and an offer <br />made so she does not feel this is an appropriate time to suggest changing the position. She <br />further commented that the pay scale approved is the same as it was for Mr. Longville. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney said he does not think it smells right for the City to offer to pay <br />$66,000 when New Brighton is only paying $45,000 and he feels this should be dealt with prior <br />to hiring. <br />
