Mounds View City Council September 10, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 16 <br /> <br /> <br />Council Member Marty expressed concern for closing the golf course in October as in the past <br />the course has been open later in the year than any other in the area. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty also expressed concern for making sure that the golf course is properly <br />prepared for Winter in order to ensure a successful Spring opening for the course. He then noted <br />there may not be enough staff to ensure proper Winter preparation of the course. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated that Mr. Manthis has been invited to the department head <br />meetings and noted that would be the appropriate venue for him to address any issues he had <br />concerning the golf course. She then indicated that she was not sure of the final date of <br />employment for Mr. Chism but noted that there are a maximum number of days seasonal <br />employees can work and still be considered seasonal. <br /> <br />Assistant to the Administrator Reed indicated that Mr. Dazenski had spoken to City <br />Administrator Miller and indicated that he is working on preparing the golf course for Winter. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty noted there had not been a golf course committee meeting in well over <br />six months and asked that one be scheduled. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated she would look into scheduling a golf course committee <br />meeting later in the month. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre noted that Todd, an hourly employee out at the golf course, had reportedly been <br />doing a great job with course maintenance. He then noted that Mr. Ulrich had suggested that <br />Todd be asked to take some training classes over the winter months and be offered a salaried <br />position next summer as the maintenance supervisor. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated turf management would be placed on the work session. She <br />then noted that she was not a turf management expert but said this year has been a tough year for <br />courses due to the long dry spell. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas expressed concern that the City follow its policies when considering <br />hiring for any position that may be available. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he had spoken to Mr. Manthis and asked him if he was <br />having any problems out at the golf course and he had indicated he was not. Council Member <br />Stigney then suggested that Mr. Manthis should bring any issues to the attention of the City when <br />they arise. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty questioned whether there was a maintenance position open at the golf <br />course. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated it would be nice to be able to let the seasonal employee know that the <br />City intends to bring him back next season in an increased capacity.
