Mounds View City Council June 25, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 10 <br /> <br />Council Member Quick asked to clarify if the difference in pay between what they’ re making <br />now on an hourly basis, less the lessons, and what they’ll be making after they’re reappointed. <br />City Administrator Miller confirmed this amount. <br /> <br />City Attorney Riggs explained the state auditor’s concern is that it has been claimed that there’s <br />a 70/30 split which is suspect in the auditor’s eyes. The actual documentation for the year 2000 <br />is showing it is approaching 90 to 95%. <br /> <br />Council M ember Marty asked if it is split the same for all golf personnel or if some derive more <br />of their income from golf lessons. He also asked if this would jeopardize another individual that <br />would have a higher base pay. <br /> <br />Assistant to the City Attorney Reed explained that there are more who spend their time giving <br />lessons. It would be a high percentage, but she cannot say how much the split is. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney inquired if the reappointing is for seasonal as well as full time <br />employees. City Administrator Miller responded that currently, the discussion is about the <br />individuals who give lessons and are employees of the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney questioned how many employees the City has that give lessons. <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Reed answered she wasn’ t sure if there are full job <br />descriptions in place. She added that there would be two that we would need to come up with. <br />She added that there are two employees that are Council -approved staff members full time. One <br />is a seasonal employee who gives lessons in conjunction with some operating responsibilities. The <br />other is a seasonal employee who only gives lessons. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney voiced his opinion that the hours should be logged and tracked for <br />lessons given and the time spent putting in their time for their jobs. City Administrator Miller <br />responded they have spoken with the golf pros about having better documentation. The City <br />couldn’t tell from the documentation what hours they were actually giving lessons and which <br />hours should be compensated by the City from the documentation that was provided. <br />Council Member Stigney inquired whose golf equipment is used for lessons. Assistant to the City <br />Administrator Reed answered she didn’t have a response at the moment, but offered to find out. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney stated he was aware the cost is $5.00 per person, and he wanted to <br />know how much of that fee is appropriated to the instructor for the lesson, and how long the <br />lessons are. City Administrator Miller responded it depended on the type of lesson; whether it <br />was a youth lessons, private lesson, etc. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if anyone pays differently - -- if, for example, whether the lesson is <br />given by the PGA pro or non-pro. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed explained we have <br />two pros on staff who are certified. The other teacher is a PGA pro but is not yet certified. She <br />added that she doesn’ t believe they are compensated differently. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if the teacher’ s credentials are identified so t hat when the student <br />signs up, they would have a choice and possibly choose the teacher with the most credentials.
