Mounds View City Council June 25, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 12 MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Stigney. To Distribute Back Pay as Soon as Possible and Begin the Process to Develop a Point System and Reappoint the Job Descriptions for the Next Council Meeting on July 9, 2001. Council Member Stigney questioned whether the re-pointed would affect the PGA pro who has completed the golf course training program, or for the apprentice, or for someone in that training program, noting the level of training is different. Council Member Marty stated it seems as though the rest of the City staff has applied for union membership certification. He was concerned about the union regulations, the City tampering with their pay, and whether we are putting the City in jeopardy. City Attorney Riggs responded that we are in a situation of two evils: unauthorized pay which puts the City in the position to be sued versus an unfair labor practice. This situation is putting the City in jeopardy and needs to be rectified as soon as possible. Ayes - 4 Nays - 1 Marty Motion carried. G. Consideration of Agreement Between the City and Festival in the Park City Administrator Miller apologized for the delay in getting this information to the Council. • She explained there have been small changes to the report which City Attorney Riggs will present. City Attorney Riggs stated there hasn't been authorization to provide compensation to the nonprofit group entitled Mounds View Festival in the Park. Exhibits A and B in the agreement need to be completed in order to identify what the duties are for the City and the corporation. If this isn't identified, there is a problem with insurance. He explained that when the Council authorizes the final understanding for this festival with the corporation, the insurance for both parties can be pieced together so everyone is completely covered. Council Member Thomas inquired whether the Council can approve this item with the contingency that Staff can fill in the details. City Attorney Riggs responded it can be approved contingent that there will be minor changes. He pointed to paragraphs 3 and 5 stating they need to be discussed. The President of the Festival stated she had received this agreement that day and the rest of the committee has not been able to discuss it. Mayor Sonterre asked if she, as the President of the Committee, could work through the agreement the next day, meet with City Attorney Riggs and address the specific issues at the Festival meeting the next night. Then on Wednesday, they would be in a position to have the two of them finalize the issues. • The President of the Festival agreed to this arrangement.
