Mounds View City Council March 27, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 20 Brimeyer’s schedule, and the exact date of the presentation is uncertain, because Mr. Brimeyer would be attending a Council Meeting at the same time the Council would be in session. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated between April 25 and May 29, Mr. Brimeyer would recruit candidates for the administrator position, with the application deadline being May 30. She indicated that from June 5 through June 27, Mr. Brimeyer would review and screen candidates, and on July 3, he would present a report of the final candidates to the Council. She stated there was an issue with regard to the July 3 date, in terms of the Council’s schedule, in that this was just prior to a holiday, and the Council should determine if they would hold their regular meeting that date, or later in the week. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated July 10 through the 25th, Mr. Brimeyer would conduct background and reference checks, and interviews would be held on July 28 and 29.

He stated Resolution 5427 pertains to a City policy to determine the wage adjustment for any management employee in an interim position for either the City Administrator or a Department Head. He indicated this issue has come forward in the past, and it has been dealt with on an “as discussed” basis.
