Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated that she, the City Administrator, an HR Manager from the League, the Chair of the Commission, and the Police Chief from Brooklyn Park Police Department conducted the interviews. Council Member Stigney commented that all the interviews and recommendations actually took place before the elections. Council Member Marty said good point. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. F. Resolution 5895, a Resolution Appointing a Golf Course Manager MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To Postpone the Hiring of a Golf Course Manager until the Council can Discuss Some Issues Brought to his Attention Regarding the Position and its Pay. Council Member Thomas asked what the items of concern are. • Council Member Stigney indicated that the City of New Brighton does not pay its golf course manager full time year round they pay for 10 months per year and two months the course is closed and the salary is based on 10 months so he questions why Mounds View would hire someone for year round. He then indicated that the maximum salary for the New Brighton position is $45,270 and Mounds View is proposing to hire a golf course manager at $59,400 increasing to$62,700 after six months and to $66,000 after one year. He further commented that the City needs to look at compensation and how to fund the golf course if the City wants to turn the course around. Council Member Stigney indicated he would like to refer the matter to a work session for discussion. Council Member Thomas commented that the New Brighton and Mounds View courses are different. She then said that the City posted to fill a position that was approved in the management plan for the golf course last year and she is not sure why it would be appropriate now, after having gone through the entire process, to change the position. Council Member Thomas indicated the position was posted, interviews conducted and an offer made so she does not feel this is an appropriate time to suggest changing the position. She further commented that the pay scale approved is the same as it was for Mr. Longville. C:
