Mounds View City Council June 25, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 10 <br />calls into question all the other payments that were made to these individuals. He has assured the <br />state auditor that the Council will work through this as expediently as possible. <br />Council Member Marty inquired whether this has been covered in the annual budget process. <br />City Attorney Riggs stated that just by tucking this into the budget procedure does not make it be <br />approved. There must be a separate adopted policy. <br />Council Member Quick asked to clarify if the difference in pay between what they're making <br />now on an hourly basis, less the lessons, and what they'll be making after they're reappointed. <br />City Administrator Miller confirmed this amount. <br />City Attorney Riggs explained the state auditor's concern is that it has been claimed that there's a <br />70/30 split which is suspect in the auditor's eyes. The actual documentation for the year 2000 is <br />showing it is approaching 90 to 95%. <br />Council Member Marty asked if it is split the same for all golf personnel or if some derive more <br />of their income from golf lessons. He also asked if this would jeopardize another individual that <br />would have a higher base pay. <br />Assistant to the City Attorney Reed explained that there are more who spend their time giving <br />lessons. It would be a high percentage, but she cannot say how much the split is. <br />. Council Member Stigney inquired if the re-pointed is for seasonal as well as full time employees. <br />City Administrator Miller responded that currently, the discussion is about the individuals who <br />give lessons and are employees of the City. <br />Council Member Stigney questioned how many employees the City has that give lessons. <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Reed answered she wasn't sure if there are full job <br />descriptions in place. She added that there would be two that we would need to come up with. <br />She added that there are two employees that are Council-approved staff members full time. One <br />is a seasonal employee who gives lessons in conjunction with some operating responsibilities. <br />The other is a seasonal employee who only gives lessons. <br />Council Member Stigney voiced his opinion that the hours should be logged and tracked for <br />lessons given and the time spent putting in their time for their jobs. City Administrator Miller <br />responded they have spoken with the golf pros about having better documentation. The City <br />couldn't tell from the documentation what hours they were actually giving lessons and which <br />hours should be compensated by the City from the documentation that was provided. <br />Council Member Stigney inquired whose golf equipment is used for lessons. Assistant to the <br />City Administrator Reed answered she didn't have a response at the moment, but offered to find <br />out. <br />Council Member Stigney stated he was aware the cost is $5.00 per child for your group lessons, <br />and he wanted to know how much of that fee is appropriated to the instructor for the lesson, and <br />
