Mounds View City Council June 13, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 18 • Mayor Marty referenced Item 9K stating that in the staff report, first paragraph, about advertisements that would appear with Star Tribune, and several other newspapers noting that the Pioneer Press is the official City newspaper. He is wondering if this is a typo and is there a reason it is being placed in the Star Tribune. Community Development Director Ericson explained that the reason the ad is being placed in the Star Tribune is because the paper is a more widely circulated daily publication and it would receive more exposure. He further explained that historically they have always published the City employment notices in Star Tribune in order to reach a wider base of candidates. MOTION/SECOND Marty/Flaherty To waive the reading and approve Resolution 6559, Authorizing the Posting of a Vacancy in Community Development Department and Approving Supplemental Summer Staffing. Ayes-S Nays-0 Motion carried. L. Resolution 6560, A Resolution Authorizing Additional Compensation to RLK-Kuusisto for Work Associated with the Comprehensive Land Use Amendment. Mayor Marty referenced Item 9L stating that he pulled this because they are coming back and asking for more money. He noted that in first paragraph they reference the expedited schedule and they were aware of the expedited schedule from the beginning and this is the reason the City decided to go with them. Community Development Director Ericson acknowledged stating that this it is an issue of coordinating several meetings between them and the DNR. He explained that there was some juggling of the schedule to balance out requirements from the Environmental Quality Board noting that there is 'an additional concern on the transportation issues being adequately reflected. He stated that RLK was upfront in that this was not a typical land use. He stated that they regret having to come back to ask for additional funding noting that it is deserved, as they have gone above and beyond and having the document prepared by the Council would brings it to fruition. Mayor Many stated that it is noted in the resolution, the last few words state `at a cost not to exceed $6,000.00' yet on the previous page the total estimate in parenthesis suggests that it could be more than this. He stated that he would like further clarification. Community Development Director Ericson stated that he is not aware of what delivery fees or reimbursable expenses there may be in relationship to this request. He agreed that he should have researched this prior to bringing it to Council. He suggested that the resolution be amended to not exceed $6,500.00 or they could table action until they can get a better response on what the reimbursables would run.
