Mounds View City Council September 24, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> <br />Council Member Marty also indicated that the rate of pay was calculated based on the hourly rate <br />of $32.91. He then noted that the chief was due for a step increase prior to his departure and <br />questioned whether the Chief’s pay should have been increased. <br /> <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Reed indicated that the step increase would be contingent <br />upon the completion of the Chief’s performance review. She then indicated that the Chief’s last <br />day was only 4 days after his two-year anniversary and that did not leave time for the <br />performance review to take place. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty noted that, because the Chief’s anniversary date was prior to his leaving, <br />he questioned whether the City was calculating the severance properly. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas explained that Council would have needed to approve the step increase <br />before it became effective. She then noted that, since the performance review had not taken <br />place and Council had not approved a step increase for the Chief prior to his leaving, it would be <br />inappropriate to calculate the Chief’s severance based on the increased pay. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Thomas. To Approve Items A, B, C, E, and F of the Consent <br />Agenda as presented <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 1(Marty) Motion carried. <br /> <br />7. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Resolution 5622 Authorizing Abatement of Hazardous Building at 8217 Long <br />Lake Road – Jeremiah Anderson <br /> <br />Housing Inspector Jeremiah Anderson explained to Council that the property located at 8217 <br />Long Lake Road has been abandoned and noted there are numerous code violations. He then <br />explained that the current owner is in the process of selling the property and staff is concerned <br />that an unsuspecting buyer would attempt to inhabit the property before all the code violations <br />were remedied. He then respectfully requested that Council approve the Resolution authorizing <br />abatement to formally authorize correction of the code violations. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney questioned if the abatement would prohibit the nonresident owner from <br />finalizing the sale of the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson noted the City is willing to work with the property owner on the sale. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Sonterre. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5622, a <br />Resolution Authorizing Abatement of Hazardous Building at 8217 Long Lake Road. <br /> <br />Lee Wolfgram, the attorney for the incarcerated property owner, addressed Council and <br />explained that his client is incarcerated and the other seller is in Arizona and has been very <br />difficult to work with.
