MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Approve Consent Agenda Item C as Presented. Council Member Stigney questioned whether the City would be attempting to sue the other party to recover the City's costs or whether the City is at fault. Public Works Director Lee indicated the City is making a claim through the League of Minnesota Cities and the League would be working to recover the funds for the City. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Thomas. To Approve Consent Agenda Item D as Presented. Council Member Marty noted this matter was discussed at the work session but said the duties swap was not clear to him and rt seems that public works is picking up more work for the same pay. Mayor Sonterre clarified that Council Member Stigney had requested further information on this matter and then asked the City Administrator if she had provided that information. City Administrator Miller explained that duties were shifted when the administrative assistant in public works was assigned telephone duties. She then said that since the MIS people are now in charge of the phone duties and the few remaining phone responsibilities are negligible it is appropriate to return the recycling duties to the public works administrative assistant. Council Member Marty clarified that generally the duties of the phone system are negligible in nature but at the time of the swap there was an issue with phones that was time consuming. City Administrator Miller confirmed that the remaining phone duties were negligible. Council Member Marty asked whether additional duties would be created for the administrative assistant in the administration department to replace the duties reassigned to the administrative assistant in public works. City Administrator Miller confirmed that the new administrative assistant has had her duties increased significantly from the previous administrative assistant.
