City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 27, 2020 Page 5 1 Councilmember Walker thanked Ms. Donabauer for the clarification because he was wondering 2 as well because he thought the salary range was high as well but now that the City Manager 3 position has been clarified he indicated he was more comfortable with the range. 4 5 Ms. Donabauer reviewed the job description with the City Council. 6 7 Councilmember Jenson indicated under education on the job description, it is not brought up that 8 a master's degree would be preferable which he felt it would be from his perspective. 9 Councilmember Webster indicated under the category "Desirable Job Qualifications", Master's 10 degree in Business Administration is listed. 11 12 Ms. Donabauer reviewed the search timeline with the Council. 13 14 The Council preferred January 19th and 20th for interviews but was fine with the rest of the 15 timeline given in the staff report. 16 17 B. Resolution 20-082., a Resolution Approving a Special Event Permit submitted by The 18 Unofficial located at 3701 NE Stinson Blvd for tailgating events on multiple dates. 19 20 Interim City Manager Yunker reviewed the resolution with the Council. 21 22 Councilmember Walker asked what the timeframe was for past events. He wondered if those 23 events were pre-COVID. Mr. Yunker indicated that was correct. Councilmember Walker 24 explained the reason he asked is because that is a significant difference with those events versus 25 what is being requested now. He asked what the specific guidelines would be in terms of the 26 Pandemic and also how would the parking lot be structured for these events. Mr. Yunker 27 indicated there is a map in the packet showing the parking lot layout. He noted every other 28 parking space will be blocked off to separate the groups and it will be outside. 29 30 Councilmember Walker asked if there would be an expectation beyond that for those who show 31 up. Mr. Yunker indicated that was not specifically noted in the staff report but from staff's 32 perspective he assumed the Official would be following the same guidelines that they have to 33 follow now under operating as a restaurant both with patrons inside as well as outside on the 34 patio. 35 36 Councilmember Webster indicated one of the thoughts she had as she was looking through the 37 staff report was to add the additional guidelines that were imposed from the Minnesota Attorney 38 General's office last Summer regarding public gatherings. She wondered, as a Council, if the 39 request is approved there may be additional requests, guidelines or limitations placed by other 40 governing agencies in the State. She thought this was something the Council needed to consider 41 as well. 42 43 Mr. Chris Christopherson, applicant, indicated he could only speak to the regulations that are 44 currently in place and the bourdon would be on them to shift on the fly, if necessary. He thought 45 that was something they have all learned to do over the past few months. Mr. Anthony Earsom,
