Mounds View City Council July 10, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 17 Mayor Marty pointed out that there were no interested parties in the site for either the restaurant or office uses. He stated the space is being wasted and the modification does not seem to be an overly significant change to the PUD of the area. He stated with a viable business in the area, across from the Senior Center, there will be no major impact from the change in the use of the building. He stated that if the building was going to attract renters, it would have by this time, and he believes the printing company is the best option. Councilmember Thomas stated one of the benefits of the PUD is to allow the Council the flexibility to adapt the area to what types of businesses it will attract. Councilmember Flaherty asked how many people the company employees and the owner replied they employ 21. Mayor Marty stated he is encouraged that Let's Get Graphic will be using the entire building.

He explained the four areas with which the report deals: 1. FLSA: He stated this item, according to federal law, addresses whether employees are classified as exempt or non-exempt. He stated there was only one employee with a questionable classification. 2. Point system: He stated that one employee had considerable additional duties and that half of the employees had minor changes. 3. Classifications: He stated that the report recommends nearly 60% of changes of classifications. He said not to worry because the vast majority of the changes are to bring Mounds View classification language up-to-date. He stated that one position could be reclassified. 4. External Market: He stated the employment positions from ten cities were compared.
