Mounds View City Council June 5, 2000 Special Meeting Page 10 Rob Marty Community Development Gary Quick Public Works; Golf Course Lynne Thomason Finance Roger Stigney Police Dan Coughlin Administration Please keep in mind that only the full council can give direction to staff and so these liaison positions are simply to be viewed as another opportunity to promote communication between the council and the City staff. I would ask that if the above assignments are acceptable, that a motion be made to allow myself and the administrator to formally enact a resolution setting forth those said assignments for the remainder of the year 2000." MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Quick. To Allow The Mayor and the Administrator to Formally Enact a Resolution Setting Forth the Assignments as Specified in Mayor Dan Coughlin's Memorandum, for the Remainder of the Year 2000. Council Member Stigney stated he would prefer to serve as liaison to the Finance Department. Council Member Quick requested a definition of this position. Mayor Coughlin explained that these positions would function similarly to the liaison positions that have been set up between the Council and the boards and commissions of the City. Council Member Quick inquired if he was to act as some form of "watch dog" at the golf course, or if he was simply to be available for discussion. Mayor Coughlin stated particular questions or memorandums would be forwarded to the liaison as a courtesy, however, the liaison would have no official function, and this was primarily for the purpose of providing a contact person for these departments. He stated with regard to Council Member Stigney's request, prior to taking her leave, Council Member Thomason had expressed an interest in this particular position, in that she has 20 years in mortgage banking. He explained that he assigned the Finance Department position to Council Member Thomason as a courtesy, being aware that she would not be present at the meeting. Council Member Marty inquired regarding the term of the positions. Mayor Coughlin stated they would be rotated periodically, and the definition of this was open to the Council's discretion. He explained that there were six months remaining in the year and the current election cycle, and therefore, the assignments would probably stand for the remainder of the year. Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 11.
