She stated that she would prefer to wait to see what happens with the Rice Creek <br />Watershed District versus tying the City into an expectation. <br />MOTION/SECOND Stigney/Thomas To postpone action on this until all issues have been <br />resolved. <br />Aye - 4 Nay -1 (Marty) Motion carried <br />I. Resolution 6561 Approving an Agreement with Mr. Charles Hansen to <br />provide Interim Financial Services. <br />City Clerk/Administrator Ulrich stated that this is proposal to pay the former Finance Director on <br />an hourly rate to come back to the City to finish work on the financial reports. He stated that he <br />has proposed a rate of $70 an hour, which is about half of what our auditor would charge for the <br />same thing. He stated that he spoke with the auditor and he indicated that it would involve <br />approximately 20-30 hours of work. <br />Mayor Marty asked if he has discussed this with Mr. Hansen. <br />City Clerk/Administrator Ulrich stated that he has not talked directly with Mr. Hansen adding <br />that the Auditor has been discussing it with him. He noted that Mr. Hansen proposed the hourly <br />rate. <br />• Mayor Marty agreed that Mr. Hansen would have the expertise and knowledge of what is going <br />on with the City right now noting that one of the reasons Mr. Hansen left was due to the <br />workload. He stated that his concern is whether he would have the time. <br />City Clerk/Administrator Ulrich stated that it would be a limited contract to have him come back <br />for a short period to help get the work completed. <br />Council Member Flaherty asked if they approved extra expenditures for Ehlers and Associates to <br />handle this. He stated that if anyone should be hiring it should be MMKR to complete the audit. <br />City Clerk/Administrator Ulrich agreed that MMKR could be an option but the rate would be <br />higher. He stated that it would be cheaper to hire him directly. <br />Council Member Stigney asked if they have a specific timeframe and what is the scope of the <br />work. <br />City Clerk/Administrator Ulrich stated that it is the City's financial reports that have to be <br />completed by July. He stated that he would help to prepare the items with MMKR under their <br />direction. <br />• <br />
