City Council meeting of September 18, 2006 Page 3 and Dennis Hegberg, for signature by Mayor Miron and Council member Haas, thanking them for their support of improvements to CR57. All aye. Motion Carried. DISCUSSION ON AMENDMENT TO PERSONNEL POLICY FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS' TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT At a recent City Council meeting, Council member Chuck Haas requested that Council consider an amendment to the City's personnel policy to address a travel reimbursement policy for Council members and their work serving on Council -directed committees and/or commissions. City staff has prepared an amendment to the City's personnel policy regarding Section 20-9 of the City's code, which outlines the salary and compensation for City officials. The City code does not specifically reference reimbursement for non -City meetings, which could be interpreted in Section 20-9, C, as part of the overall expense of travel. City staff requested direction from Council as to its interest in amending the personnel policy to cover the reimbursement for Council members going to and from Council -approved commission and/or committee work. After a review of Section 20-9, E, and discussion, Council was satisfied that existing policy enables them to be reimbursed for City -related expenses. No formal Council action was taken. DISCUSSION ON DEMOLITION OF BUILDINGS LOCATED AT THE END ZONE Len Minich addressed Council regarding his efforts to have the old motel buildings and house demolished at The End Zone, as mandated by Council at its meeting of September 5, 2006. CD Director Bryan Bear stated that he had talked to Mr. Minich's contractor, who stated that he had provided Mr. Minich with a quote to have the work done, but that as of this date, there was no signed contract. Mr. Minich then stated that he had discussions with many contractors and that he could not remember which one he had retained. Haas made motion, Granger seconded, to issue an abatement order and direct staff to proceed with demolition of the motel and office building at The End Zone property. All costs associated with the demolition project, including administrative staff time, would be included and assessed against the property. All aye. Motion Carried.
