ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 16, 2018 5 <br /> <br />H. Hiring and Termination Authority <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault said the intent of the policy is to delegate the hiring, discipline, and <br />termination authority to the City Administrator for hourly employees that are non-supervisory and <br />budgeted for, including seasonal employees, with the City Council approving the actions on <br />consent. The Personnel Committee would be kept up to date with any issues. Salaried positions <br />would fall to City Council for direction and final approval. The Personnel Committee was <br />supportive of the policy and the City Attorney reviewed it as well. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes expressed concern that the policy doesn’t say the City Administrator <br />will check with City Council to see if they would like to fill the position. <br /> <br />City Attorney Jamnik said the policy can be modified to say that the Council should be notified <br />of someone’s resignation or termination so if they have an issue with filling the position they can <br />talk to the Personnel Committee or the City Administrator. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated that he is comfortable with the policy as long as they are <br />informed of someone’s resignation or termination. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes mentioned that the Council used to approve advertising for a position <br />and wondered why that couldn’t continue to happen. <br /> <br />City Attorney Jamnik said most cities the separation from employment is notified to the <br />Council, which is an indicator that there is an opening in a budgeted position, and that would <br />build in the opportunity for communication and dialog. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault clarified that the Council is asking for the only change from <br />current practice is that seasonal employees won’t need to go to Council for approval but <br />everything else needs to be authorized by Council prior to posting. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked staff to make the changes to the policy and put it on the consent agenda at <br />the next Council meeting. <br /> <br />I. Highway 96/Lexington Avenue Gateway Sign <br /> <br />City Planner Matthew Bachler stated that the 2018 budget includes $80,000 for a gateway sign <br />and the Council discussed the location of Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue. Staff has been <br />working on a conceptual plan for the sign. Taken into consideration were travel speed, size, <br />setbacks, viewing orientation and constructability. The cost estimate for the conceptual sign is <br />approximately $193,000. Factoring in contingencies and construction administration it comes to <br />approximately $261,000. WSB provided a more detailed breakdown of the costs and potential <br />cost savings. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden wondered if there was any money in the Foundation that could be <br />applied toward the sign. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant said there is no money in the Foundation tagged specifically for gateway signs. <br />
