Mounds View City Council August 12, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 23 Mayor Sonterre indicated he had been trying to give deference to the opinion of the leader but he thinks the points that were brought up are significant concerns and, if it seems to come down to the greater of two goods. He then asked Acting Chief Brennan, after hearing the debate, what his opinion as to the pitfalls versus the temp would be. Acting Chief Brennan commented that if the concern is that the current arrangement may create an expectation that this may continue in the future the department could work with the temp. Council Member Marty said he does not think this is the most efficient way to handle it. He then said that it could be made clear from a Council standpoint that these positions are not permanent rather than hiring a temporary employee. Assistant City Administrator Reed asked if the senior clerk typist is to be compensated under the policy even though she has not been there for the required two-month period. Council Member Quick indicated there was a motion on the floor that cannot be altered. Mayor Sonterre indicated the question is whether two and three should be included. Council agreed that the policy should be followed. • Assistant City Administrator Reed asked if the individual was to accrue full time accrual for vacation and sick while working full time.
