Administrator Achen stated Council could hire a recording secretary for the
Planning Commission on either an hourly or flat rate basis. If the secre-
tary hired is already a city employee, that person could be paid on an
hourly basis or a flat rate. If the latter, it should be less than $20.00
because the employee could transcribe and type the minutes at work. Council
directed the administrator to ask the present office staff whether any were
interested in this position.
Attorney Meyers commented on damage claims. He stated there are only about
two a year, but the problem is that the insurance company usually will deny
claims such as arising from sewer back -ups. The party involved then seeks
help from the city, but there is no policy on how to handle such claims.
He suggests a subcommittee of the Council be established that could meet
quarterly to examine claims and determine whether there is a valid claim
against the city and what the payment should be. Attorney Meyers stated
an ordinance could be written to set guidelines for the claim committee.
Mayor Johnson read the dog report for January 1975.

MSP (Hodges- Baumgartner) to approve the following bills: General account
checks No. 10001 through 10040, Payroll account checks No. 1150 and 1151,

gross pay of February 28, 1975, total disbursements $36,495.49.
Mayor Johnson asked Attorney Meyers if his increased fee was due to the
new court system. Attorney Meyers said a large portion represented
prosecutions at municipal court.
Administrator Achen presented a proposed agreement with Ramsey County
for participation in the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act. The
agreement will provide funding for a clerk typist in the city office. The
agreement is effective through February 9, 1976.
MSP (Baumgartner - Pickar) to adopt Resolution No. 662 authorizing the Mayor
to execute an agreement with Ramsey County for participation in the Compre-
hensive Employment and Training Act of 1973.
MSP (Johnson- Hodges) to adopt Resolution No. 663 designating March 9, 1975,
Minnesota Shares for Hunger Day to help the needy and hungry throughout the
world.
MSP (Johnson- Baumgartner) to adopt Resolution No. 664 reapportioning the
assessments on Division No. 49384 for Lamont C. Bolduc, Lot 75 Spring Lake

Administrator Achen presented the results of bidding on the new police
vehicle. The staff recommendation is to accept Barnett Plymouth's bid
mainly because of the leaded gas engine this car has. At present the
city can store only leaded gas; a vehicle requiring unleaded gas would
necessitate buying gas at commercial outlets. The Barnett gross bid is
the lowest.
