~~~. <br />Mounds View City Cori i ~ ~! <br />August 27, 1990 <br />Regular Meeting Page Eight <br />-------------------------------- <br />Mr. Bill Frits, states he believes the Council is using <br />the Data Privacy Act to hide things. The real issue is <br />hiding things from people in the City. Why wasn't Mr, Pauley <br />given 6 months notice that he was terminated? <br />Mayor Hankner states the Council was advised not to divulge <br />information about Mr. Pauley's performance because it could <br />draw the City into litigation and therefore Mayor Hankner has <br />taken the advice of the attorneys. <br />Mr. Linke states that City Attorney Barney made <br />reference to the fact that he and Mr. Meyers advised the <br />Council by recommending a law firm who in turn recommended one <br />of their attorneys. At what meeting did this take place? <br />City Attorney Karney stated many times, with reference to <br />major pieces of litigation which he nor Mr. Meyers is <br />an expert in, another attorney has been hired to help <br />them. They have always been given a free reign <br />to ascertain outside help. Larkin/Daly will bill Barney for <br />Nolan's bill. Again, Mr. Karney stated that he and Mr. Meyers <br />had worked with Mr. Pauley for several years <br />and felt this was a Conflict of Interest. <br />Mr. Linke asked haw many times Ms. Nolan met with the Council <br />as a Council? <br />Mayor Hankner met Ms. Nolan to interview prior to hiring. <br />She spoke with the rest of the Council, however, under the <br />advice of City Attorney Meyers some time ago there had been a <br />subcommitte formed to handle employee matters. <br />Mr. Linke asked if it was a quorum, Mayor Hankner stated it <br />was not, it was not a Council meeting. <br />Mr. Linke then asked if they met with Mr. Pauley on Friday <br />and then took action on Monday. <br />Mayor Hankner stated that Mr. Linke had not been involved for <br />months and months on with regard to the day to day happenings <br />in the City and many things had occurred. <br />Mr. Linke rebutted that statement by saying that he had. <br />maintained contact with Mr. Pauley and other Councilmembers <br />and over Cable 3'V. <br />Ms. Pat Rickaby, 8343 Groveland Road, asked when the <br />decision was made to hire special counsel. <br />c <br />
