City Council Minutes for May 3, 2010 <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />Approve Hire of Seasonal Public Works Employees <br />At its March 1, 2010 meeting, the Hugo City Council authorized Public Works Director Scott <br />Anderson to advertise for the Summer Seasonal Public Works employees which provide the City <br />of Hugo a cost effective way to maintain the City parks and open space and facilities. Public <br />Works Director Scott Anderson recommended Council approve the hiring of one seasonal <br />employee not to exceed 40 hrs per week and a second part time seasonal employee not to exceed <br />20 hours per week in addition to the rehiring of four returning seasonal employees. The <br />combination of the six seasonal employees would not exceed the hours normally accumulated by <br />five positions at 40 hours per week. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the rehiring of <br />four seasonal employees and Kevin Nelson and Tom Cardinal as new seasonal employees for <br />2010. <br />Approve Hiring of Kevin Krimshauser as Probationary Firefghter <br />The Hugo Fire Department received an application from Kevin Kriegshauser who became a <br />Hugo resident approximately one year ago. Kevin has previous experience as a firefighter on the <br />Linwood Fire Department and has completed his firefighter certification and EMT certification. <br />Kevin has also completed his orientation to the Hugo Fire Department on April 25, 2010. <br />Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the hiring of Kevin Kriegshauser as a probationary <br />firefighter and EMT. <br />Approve of 2:00 A.M. Liquor License for the Blue Heron and Sal's Angus Grill <br />Councilmember Haas removed this item from the Consent Agenda. Blue Heron Grill and Sal's <br />Angus Grill have applied to the City for renewal of its 2:00 a.m. closing time. Councilmember <br />Haas remarked that the establishments pay a large fee to the state to stay open for an additional <br />hour (Sal's pays $750 and the Blue Heron pays $1,000) and he questioned whether the City <br />could charge an additional fee and how much additional time was spent by the Washington <br />County Sheriff's Department in responding to call as a result of the 2:00 a.m. closing. The <br />Council considered tabling the item to allow staff time to obtain that information; however, both <br />licenses expire prior to the next meeting. <br />Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to approve the application for a 2:00 a.m. closing time for <br />Blue Heron Grill and Sal's Angus Grill, and directed staff to review the impacts of the 2:00 a.m. <br />closing time. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Approve Variance for Side Yard and Shoreland Setback for the Marston Family at 8895 <br />126th St. N. <br />This item was removed from the Consent Agenda. At its April 22, 2010 meeting the Board <br />considered the variance request and held a public hearing on the application. Staff had presented <br />the request and recommended denial of the side yard setback variance and approval of the <br />shoreland setback variance for additions to the house. There were two people that spoke on the <br />
