Mounds View City Council September 26, 2005 <br />Regular Meeting Page 17 <br />• Councilmember Thomas stated it is a comparison to the other jobs we have in Mounds View and <br />this is paying an equitable amount compared to the jobs we already have here. She agreed that <br />Stanton 6 is not the way to do it but that would require a complete reworking of all positions not <br />negotiated by labor union and it is not fair to ask for a delay until that correction occurs. <br />Mayor Marty agreed and stated that coming up with our own plan requires looking at all <br />positions in the City and some may have a pay freeze until the adjustment is made, or it could go <br />the other direction. He stated he does not think it is justified to start that change with this one <br />position. <br />Substitute motion to postpone: <br />Aye-l (Stigney) Nays-4 Motion failed. <br />Motion to approve: <br />Ayes-4 Nays-0 Abstain-1 (Stigney) Motion carried. <br />H. Consideration of Holding a Special City Council Meeting prior to the <br />Transfer of Real Property Commonly known as The Bridges of Mounds <br />View Golf Course <br />• City Administrator Ulrich reviewed that there are a number of items for the Council to consider <br />to close the sale to Medtronic by September 30, 2005 and a special meeting would have to be <br />called, requiring at least a 3-day notice. He distributed a list of eight items and stated if the <br />meeting is to be held on Thursday, it would have to be posted this evening. He reviewed other <br />potential meeting dates. <br />City Attorney Riggs explained that these items were dealt with in a different capacity, either <br />through contract or as result of the contract or transaction. Staff felt the Council should consider <br />them again before they are finalized. He stated the items are being finalized today and tomorrow, <br />based on timing of deeds and leases received as well as proposed language for various <br />agreements for the closure of the golf course. City Attorney Riggs stated that those items are <br />listed as either separate resolutions or separate agreements that he, Staff, and Ehlers felt should <br />go before the Council so they have a good understanding of what is called for and the finalized. <br />items for this project. <br />Mayor Marty stated he was thinking about adding a ninth item and asked if the Council would <br />like to hold a special meeting on Thursday. He stated Medtronic's building is going higher <br />instead of wider and using less of the 72.2 acres. He stated the last he heard they were using 25- <br />30 acres. <br />Director Ericson indicated he cannot state the exact acreage but that sounds about right. <br />• <br />
