~unds View City Council <br />gular Meeting <br />Page Eleven <br />November 25, 1991 <br />Mr. .Stigney responded that he did know because of his involvement <br />with carrying around a petition regarding the Clerk-Administrator's <br />salary. <br />Mr. Stigney stated that his own personal feelings were that there are <br />City employees that could use more money. Stigney further stated <br />the Clerk-Administrator could use less money. Stigney stated the <br />equity of pay is out of wack, the top people are paid too much and <br />the bottom people too little. <br />Mayor Linke stated he worked in both the city and a corporation and <br />felt that the upper echelon and lower staff are closer here than in a <br />corporation. <br />Mayor Linke commented that the public works people are paid <br />a union-based salary. Mayor Linke stated that these persons are making <br />what the union says they should be making. Mayor Linke stated <br />that Mr. Stigney should be able to support his comments rather <br />than just throw them out. <br />Mr. Stigney stated that he talked to many of them and they are pinched <br />for money compared to pay received by others elsewhere. <br />Mayor Linke stated he rides with the police officers every six months <br />and talks to the public works employees and he doesn't hear those <br />things. <br />Mr. Stigney stated that he wanted to make one last statement and that <br />was that he did not agree with the street light utility and was <br />opposed to it and that the City should look at the top salaries, <br />health benefits and insurance being paid. <br />Mr. Bill Frits stated that he would like to have the words <br />public hearing added with the sundown amendment. Mr. Frits stated he <br />did not trust the Council and wanted a public hearing to be held <br />when this ordinance came to the end of the term. <br />Councilmember Quick stated that this ordinance would end the <br />utility after two years. Quick further stated at that time if <br />it were to be continued the whole process would have to be <br />reenacted including a public hearing. <br />Mayor Linke stated that on January 1, 1994, unless it goes through the <br />Council at that time, there will be no utility. Linke stated that <br />at that point in time it ceases to exist. Linke further stated to <br />reinstate the utility it would have to go through the public <br />hearing, first and second reading and be published before it could <br />• be reinstated. <br />
