Admin. Achen explained Resolution No. 750 requesting Metropolitan
Council HRA to apply for Rehabilitation Grant Funds for imple-
mentation within the City of Mounds View. He stated this resolu-
tion is to request participation in the program; the City will
know at a later date what the City's responsibilities in terms
of monies will be. This is to encourage and facilitate the
rehabilitation of homes through grants, loans, etc. -- basically
to meet the minimum Code standards, not luxury items.
MSP (Hodges - Pickar) to adopt Resolution No. 750. 4 ayes
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT - Admin. Achen indicated that the City
expects to receive HUD authorization to commence Community
Development Block Grant housing inspection program on July 27th.
He also stated the the Mounds View School District will be
dedicating the lighted All - District Athletic Field at Irondale,
September 17, at the Irondale vs. Mounds View football game.
The District would like the Councilmen to attend and will be
sending letters at a later date. Also, the 1975 financial
statement will be reviewed at Council's next agenda session.
Admin. Achen stated that Steven Rose, Building Inspector,
will be offered a job with another City at the end of the week.
The other City had phoned the Admin. basically out of courtesy to
inform Mounds View of the offer. Admin. Achen stated he would
like to recommend a salary increase commensurate with the
responsibilites of the Building Inspectors position. Should
Mr. Rose accept the offered position with the other City, the
Admin. would like to see the increased salary so that he can
fill the position with a capable person. Recommended increase
is from $1,150 /mo. to $1,300 /mo. and the title to be established
as Building and Zoning Official. Then, beginning, January 1,
1977, increase the salary 6%, bringing the position's salary
to 85% of the Metropolitan average for the position. Admin.
Achen stated the current salary rate would recruit only a
building inspector with no supervisory capabilities. Our
present inspector is capable and merits the raise. However, the
major concern is to be able to recruit a capable person should
Mr. Rose decide to accept the other City's offer.
Councilman Baumgartner asked where the additional financing for
the raise would come from? Admin. Achen responded from the
excess indicated at the last Council meeting. The balance
for this year would be $1,000 increase.
MSP (Pickar - Shelquist) Effective August 1, 1976, to authorize
City Administrator to make a salary adjustment for the
additional sum of $150 per month for Steve Rose, the increase
to be used to find a replacement if Mr. Rose does indeed leave. 4 ayes
Atty. Meyers presented a resolution to authorize reconveyance
of certain parcels of land to the State of MN, whereby they
could reconvey the land to certain interested parties. This
is the land near Ardan Ave. and Knollwood. When the new
street was put through, there was surplus land left and that
is what we are reconveying to the State.
