WHEREAS, the City Council has directed the City Administrator to evaluate staffing

reduction in budget expenditures; and,
WHEREAS, revenues in the Community Development Department, collected
through building permit, planning fees, plan review fees and contractor licenses, have
decreased substantially over the last two years; and,

become evident that the Community Development Department has more staff than
presently necessary; and,

longevity and compensation, in combination with the reduced departmental workload, the
City Administrator has determined that the position of Community Development Director,
currently held by Kenneth Roberts, can no longer be supported; and,
WHEREAS, Section 4.15 of the City's Personnel Policy provides that the "City
Administrator, with the approval of the City Council, may lay -off any employee whenever
such action is deemed necessary by reason of shortage of work funds, the elimination of
the position, changes in the organization, or other causes."
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View City Council hereby
authorizes the City Administrator to eliminate the Community Development Director position
by means of layoff.
