Mounds View City Council October 6, 2025 <br /> Special Meeting Page 6 <br /> 1 Mayor Lindstrom explained he believed in the work being done by the public works employees <br /> 2 and he understood how frustrating this situation was because the same situation occurred at his <br /> 3 place of employment. It was his hope this situation would not make the public works employees <br /> 4 feel like the City Council does not care, because they do. He discussed how he valued the work <br /> 5 conducted by the public works team. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Council Member Clark inquired if public works employees could pursue new licensures to advance <br /> 8 their pay. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported employees could pursue <br /> 9 higher licenses, but the only way employees would receive more pay is if they take on more <br /> 10 responsibility or if a new job was created. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Mr. Schnur inquired if the public works contract could have language added to ensure this does <br /> 13 not happen in the future. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Mayor Lindstrom stated he was open to discussion but was not willing to commit to anything at <br /> 16 this time. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Council Member Meehlhause encouraged the CBU to bring forward a pitch at the next union <br /> 19 negotiation. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 A roll call vote was taken. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Ayes—5 Nays—0 Motion carried. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Mayor Lindstrom closed the grievance hearing at 6:16 p.m. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 5.ADJOURNMENT <br /> 28 <br /> 29 The meeting was adjourned at 6:17 p.m. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Transcribed by: <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Heidi Guenther <br /> 34 Minute Maker Secretarial <br />
