ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – NOVEMBER 20, 2017 3 <br /> <br />City Administrator Joynes reported the job description had been changed to include some HR <br />functions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she wanted to be assured that the position description included <br />human resources, record keeping and administrative work in order to keep things clear going <br />forward. <br /> <br />City Administrator Joynes commented on the level of HR work completed by the City. He <br />noted the upper level of HR work (policy issues) was completed by himself and the data/record <br />keeping and reporting would be completed by the City Clerk. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung agreed that Councilmember Holden had a good point and wanted to <br />see the position description clarified. <br /> <br />City Administrator Joynes stated he would work to clarify the position description for the City <br />Clerk. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned if the emergency manager position had the ability to make <br />decisions that could impact the budget. <br /> <br />City Administrator Joynes reported all decisions would have to come through City staff and the <br />City Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant commented on the recreation programmer position. He discussed how the City’s <br />park and recreation needs would change once TCAAP was developed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden reported it was quite time consuming to supervise an intern and <br />questioned if this was the best route for the City to pursue. She suggested a seasonal employee be <br />considered. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka explained she would be working with Sarah on a <br />job description. It was her hope a junior or senior college student with some municipal work <br />experience could be hired for this paid position. <br /> <br />City Administrator Joynes provided further comment on the hiring and termination process that <br />would be followed for hourly employees. <br />The Council supported the proposed policy for hourly employees. <br /> <br />C. Mobile Food Units/Food Trucks <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson stated at a previous meeting, the Council requested staff provide information <br />pertaining to implementing licensing of mobile food units/food trucks. Staff has worked with the <br />City Attorney to draft ordinance language for consideration. Based on this draft language, vendors <br />would be required to meet the following: <br /> <br />• Obtain a temporary (up to seven days) or annual license (eight days or more during any <br />year)
