City Council meeting of June 17, 2002 Page 3 line. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the variance (Resolution 2002-24) based on the fact the pole building would be over 200 feet from the road and would be screened by existing trees. APPROVE VARIANCE REQUEST (DORDING) Carrie Dording requested approval of a five-foot side yard setback where 10 feet is required for construction of a 12 -foot x 36 -foot deck located at 13921 Fountain Avenue North. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the variance (Resolution 2002-25) based on the findings outlined in the staff report. APPROVE PURCHASE OF BUILDING DEPARTMENT OF TRUCK The Council authorized staff to include the purchase of a pickup truck for the building inspection department in the CIP for 2002. At its November 5, 2001 meeting, the Council authorized staff to auction off the red 1988 Chevrolet S 10 pickup truck, which was inoperable. The new truck would replace the 1988 S 10 pickup. Staff has completed all background research on this vehicle that would be purchased off the state contract through the Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV). Adoption of the Consent Agenda authorized purchase of a 2002 Chevrolet S 10 for a total amount of $19,489. APPROVE REGULAR FULL-TIME STATUS AND HIRING OF JODIE GUARESCHI AS UTILITY BILLING CLERK At its January 7, 2002 meeting, the Council approved the hiring of Jodie Guareschi as the part-time receptionist. She filled the vacancy created when Kristi Montanari left employment with the City. Jodie has worked in that position on a temporary basis. Since that time, and with the move to the new City Hall, the duties and responsibilities are significantly increased with the level of service established by Council with the use of a receptionist to answer all incoming telephone calls. Additionally, Jodie's work as the utility billing clerk in the finance department, under the supervision of finance director Ron Otkin, offers an opportunity for the delegation of routine finance department responsibilities. City Administrator Mike Ericson and Finance Director Ron Otkin concur that it is justified to create the regular full-time position of utility billing clerk/receptionist in order to meet the ever-increasing public demands at the new City Hall. Adoption of the Consent Agenda hired Jodie Guareschi as the regular full-time utility billing clerk/receptionist and that she be hired at Pay Grade 3, Step 1, which is the same rate for the deputy clerk, effective June 17, 2002. She would be subject to the standard pre-employment physical and serve a six-month probationary period as well. APPROVE PAY REQUEST FROM BEVER AND SONS FOR CITY HALL LANDSCAPING Bever and Sons submitted its first pay request to the City for work completed to date on the landscaping and rainwater gardens on the new City Hall site. Laurie McRostie from SEH and staff reviewed the pay request and found it to be consistent with work completed to date. Adoption of the Consent Agenda authorized payment in the amount of $37,006.35 to Bever and Sons.
