City Council meeting of September 2, 1997 Page 3 VOTING AYE: Goiffon, Leroux, Miron VOTING NAY: Barnes Motion Carried. PROPERTY APPRAISAL (6213 EGG LAKE ROAD) During the assessment hearing for the CR8A improvement project, the City Council directed staff to contact Lake State Realty Services, Inc., to have a limited -scope appraisal performed on the above address to determine the benefits the property received from the improvement project. LSRS, Inc., recommended a full narrative appraisal report be prepared for the property at a cost of $675, which is about twice the cost of a limited - scope report. The assessment amount for the property was $8,000. Mr. Bailey, previous owner of the property (6213 Egg Lake Road), was present and stated that he was willing to "negotiate" a settlement with the City, rather than incurring large legal fees for both parties. There was discussion as to whether Mr. Bailey had access to City sewer located at the northwest corner of his property. Leroux made motion, Goiffon seconded, that Mayor Miron and Council member, Debra Barnes, negotiate with Mr. Bailey in an effort to come to an agreement on a fair assessment for the property located at 6213 Egg Lake Road. All aye. Motion Carried. JOB APPLICATIONS The City of Hugo received 15 applications for the part-time positions of Deputy Clerk and Office Assistant. Based on education and experience, staff recommended interviewing eight of the applicants. The interview will include a computer -driven test on their keyboard, data entry, and proofreading skills. The City Administrator will make a recommendation to the Council on filling these positions at the Council meeting of September 18, 1997. The Council was provided copies of documents outlining the selection process recommended, as well as those personnel chosen for an interview. Council member Leroux expressed concerns regarding the amount of emphasis given to the interviews in the selection process. He stated he believed that the interviews should be weighted more heavily. The Administrator responded the point system does not bind the City to hiring any individual and that a recommendation will be made on who will best serve the community based on job-related factors. Goiffon made motion, Barnes seconded, directing City staff to proceed with the short list and process as presented. All aye. Motion Carried.
