City of St. Anthony CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Minutes October 25, 2022 Present: Mayor & Council Randy Stille, Mayor, Bernard Walker, Thomas Randle, Wendy Webster, Jan Jenson, Councilmembers Staff: Charlie Yunker, City Manager and Shelly Rueckert, Finance Director Call to Order: Mayor Stille called the Work Session to order at 5:45 p.m. 2023 Utility Rates: Shelly Rueckert reviewed the draft 2023 Utility Rates, and the long-term plan that has led to the proposed rate structure. Most notably the implementation of a “flat-fee” to reflect the fixed costs in the system, and relying on usage rates for the variable/usage costs in the system. Council discussed the proposed rates and directed staff to include them in the annual approval of utility rates as presented. Council Onboarding: Charlie Yunker presented the work done since the last Council work session on the topic. Staff converted the PowerPoint slides into a manual format for better readability, and prepared three versions of a shared values list as discussed by the Council previously. Council discussed the shared values version and selected the non-acronym version for inclusion in the onboarding manual. Council also discussed the council liaison role page, and through discussion asked staff to segment the role expectations by the three broad categories of role: point of contact for the city commissions, voting board member organizations, and non-voting representative organizations. Council also asked for minor changes to email communications and conflicts of interest. Staff will incorporate those changes into the manual. Next steps in the process will be to hold the Council exercises as stated in the staff memo. Future Work Sessions: Next Work Sessions will be held on November 3rd, 2022, at 6:00pm in the Council Chambers. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 6:56 p.m. Respectfully submitted by Charlie Yunker, City Manager.
