Mounds View City Council October 6, 2025 <br />Special Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom explained he believed in the work being done by the public works employees <br />and he understood how frustrating this situation was because the same situation occurred at his <br />place of employment. It was his hope this situation would not make the public works employees <br />feel like the City Council does not care, because they do. He discussed how he valued the work <br />conducted by the public works team. <br /> <br />Council Member Clark inquired if public works employees could pursue new licensures to advance <br />their pay. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported employees could pursue <br />higher licenses, but the only way employees would receive more pay is if they take on more <br />responsibility or if a new job was created. <br /> <br />Mr. Schnur inquired if the public works contract could have language added to ensure this does <br />not happen in the future. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom stated he was open to discussion but was not willing to commit to anything at <br />this time. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause encouraged the CBU to bring forward a pitch at the next union <br />negotiation. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was taken. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom closed the grievance hearing at 6:16 p.m. <br /> <br />5. ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:17 p.m. <br /> <br />Transcribed by: <br /> <br />Heidi Guenther <br />Minute Maker Secretarial
