=-_ City Council Special. Meeting Minutes - February 19, 1994- Page 994 Page 4 V. OPEN HOUSE. Invitations had been sent for the Open House for the City Manager. The Council changed the hours on the invitation which had been from 2 to 5 P.M. to from 3 to 6 P.M., commenting that most people work during the day and it would be difficult, if not impossible, for them to attend the Open House by 5 P.M.. A corrected invitation will be sent, posted, and published. VI. APPOINT INTERIM CITY MANAGER. Motion by Fleming, seconded by Enrooth to appoint Public Works Director Larry Hamer as Interim City Manager during the hiring process of a new City Manager. Motion carried unanimously. It was noted that Mr. Hamer had held this position in the past and had done a very good job. Compensation for Mr. Hamer was not determined, however, Mayor Ranallo suggested Mr. Hamer keep track of his extra hours. VII. AGENDA TOPICS FOR SCHOOL BOARD/COUNCIL MEETING, The Council needs a decision from the School Board regarding the Parkview building before they can move forward with this issue. Councilmember Enrooth commented that the Council has been meeting with the School Board for the past year or two on this matter and a final decision is in order. Mayor Ranallo pointed out some of the obvious problems with the present City Hall/Community Center. Different options for a government building were discussed such as building a smaller, no frills building and finishing.it in future years. Councilmember Enrooth indicated he would not be in favor of trying to make this building work. Both Ranallo and Wagner concurred. It is likely that funding for the building would be from the H.R.A., thus assuring that City residents would not see an increase in City taxes.. When asked how much it would cost the City if parks and recreation were under its jurisdiction, Mr. .Burt estimated $700,000 a year. He also told the Council that it takes $70,000 a year to operate the present building and that the School District pays $40,000 a year in rent.
