Page 9 <br />September 8, 1997 <br />Mounds View City Council <br />MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Quick to Authorize the Clerk Administrator to Offer the Position of <br />Community Development Director. <br />Council member Stigney stated he still feels that the Council should looked at the staffing of the city and <br />consider having only one Development Director rather than one for Community Development and one for <br />Economic Development. Additionally, he does not feel the city should agree to give the applicant twelve days <br />of sick leave and ten days of vacation leave which is not in accordance with the city's personnel policy. <br />VOTE: 3 ayes 1 nay (Stigney) Motion Carried <br />Brad Jahnke, 8408 Eastwood Road, stated he is bothered that those in private sector have had to take pay and <br />benefit cuts but those in the public sector have not had to do so. Mayor McCarty reminded him that Mounds <br />View is competing with a lot of other cities for Economic Development and ultimately could affect what <br />happens on real estate taxes within the city. Therefore, the hiring for this position should be considered an <br />investment, and one would need to consider whether or not the city could attract good, quality development <br />without a professional person in place to do that. <br />Report of Council members: <br />• Koopmeinera: No report. <br />Stigney: No report. <br />Quick: Council member Quick asked if the Compensation Study could be completed by the next Council <br />Work Session. <br />Mayor McCarty: No report. <br />Report of Clerk Administrator: Mr. Whiting gave a brief update in regard to the status of the Exclusive <br />Negotiations Agreement between the City of Mounds View and Anthony Properties. <br />Report of Staff: No report. <br />Report of Attorney: No report. <br />Mayor McCarty adjourned the City Council Meeting at 9:50 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Tamara D. Saefke <br />Recording Secretary <br />u <br />
