Mounds View City Council November 8, 2004 Regular Meeting Page 7 • Council Member Marty stated that they did invest $10,000 of their money into fixing up and creating the office space, and they did secure along-term contract with the North Metro Chamber of Commerce. He stated he felt the ethical thing to do would be to reimburse this money. Council Member Stigney stated the ethical thing to do for the Mermaid would have been to finish out the contract to the end of the year and leave some things booked there. Mayor Linke stated he felt it was poor public relations for them to leave early, but he wanted to take the high road and say that since they spent this money, they would be reimbursed for it, and he would be supporting this motion. Council Member Stigney stated the Mermaid hadn't been as ethical as they should have been, and so now the City doesn't have the same contract with the Canyon Grill that they would have had. Ayes-3 Nays-2 (Quick and Stigney) Motion carried. F. Approving the Hire of Jeramy Hellpap as Police Officer.

Council Member Quick asked how many people had tested, and Police Chief Sommer stated that 120 candidates tested originally back in February, and the list has atwo-year duration. He stated he is currently the number one candidate on the list. Council Member Quick asked what his ranking was originally, and Police Chief Sommer stated he wasn't sure, but he was in the top ten for sure. MOTION/SECOND. Marty/Gunn. To approve hiring Jeramy Hellpap as a police officer. Council Member Gunn asked if this would fill all the empty spots now, and Police Chief Sommer stated they would be up to full strength after this hiring.
