Mounds View City Council August 23, 1999 <br />• Regular Meeting Page 32 <br />Council Member Stigney stated he would like information regarding the additional maintenance and <br />staff costs. He stated he would like research regarding TIF financing, and noted the golf course was <br />also requesting TIF financing. <br />City Administrator Whiting stated comments and judgements had been made regarding how certain <br />matters took place at the golf course. He stated as a staff person who was involved, this was not <br />how these things took place. He stated the decisions at the golf course were made by the community <br />and elected officials, and could easily be misinterpreted at this point. <br />City Administrator Whiting stated there appeared to be a misunderstanding regarding the cost of <br />construction. He stated if it is attempted to be recovered by use of the facility, this would be <br />completely contrary to what has been done previously with the Community Center. He explained <br />the Community Center has been a capital investment project to this point, rather than a debt financed <br />project. He stated the entire approach has been to fund operations by the use of the facility, however, <br />the use of the facility would not pay for the proposed construction. <br />Mayor Coughlin stated he would request staff provide additional information regarding costs. He <br />stated this would be appropriate to be presented at a future Work Session. Council Member Marty <br />agreed. <br />• MOTION/SECOND: Mart /Cou hlin.

Review of Staffing Positions for Housing Inspector, Planning Associate and <br />Assistant to the City Administrator. <br />Community Development Director Jopke stated at the last City Council Work Session, staff <br />discussed a number of options for filling the Housing Inspector position, which was left vacant upon <br />Steve Dorgan's departure to the City of Minneapolis, as well as upgrading other positions within the <br />City. He stated staff reviewed a number of options within the Community Development Department <br />regarding how to best fill the Housing Inspector position and others, and what changes they would <br />like to see, in light of the opportunity presented. <br />Community Development Director Jopke stated staff s recommended option was to hire a Code <br />Enforcement Inspector, who would handle the housing and code inspection portion of the Housing <br />• Inspector position. He stated at the same time, they would upgrade the Planning Associate position, <br />to handle the program side of the Housing Inspector position, as well as other duties including <br />neighborhood liaison, GIS, website management, Internet surveying, and community visioning. <br />32C:~ADMIN\MINUTES\CC\8-23-99.CC <br />
