'Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, June 13, 1988 Page 9 SUMMER PERS. (Cont'd) Hanssn suggested Council recommend the salary for soccer instructors be set at $5.50 per hour. . Winiecki disagreed and stated that was still a substantial increase compared to other personnel. Councilmember Peck stated that the Park Director may have hired the personnel and communicated the salary rate recommended to these persons and that the programs begin this date. He suggested the salary recommendations be submitted along with the program approval and prior to the programs beginning so the salaries can be discussed and explained. Winiecki commented that the late submission of the salaries may have been intentional. She also stated that if the Park Director had promised individuals a certain salary rate prior to Council approval that was unfortunate. Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council- approve the 1988 Summer Program playground personnel as outlined and that the Park Dirsctor be notified that Council has taken into consideration the 20% salary increase for Soccer Instructors due to the limited number of hours they work in the City, and, furthermore, that the Park Director be instructed to submit salary guidelines no later than two weeks prior to any program beginning. Peck moved to amend the motion to to state if the Soccer Instructors had not been notified of the $6.00 per hour salary, the hourly rate be reduced to $5.50 per hour. Motion failed for lack of second. . McNiesh commented that it would be unusual if they had not been hired at a specific rate. Council concurred that the Fall Program outline for pereonnel and programs should include the sslary guidelines and an explanation of the salaries proposed. Council discussed the possibility of utilizing another park fund, such as park maintenance, to make up a portion of the higher salary rate for the soccer instructors. It was suggested that since the self-sustaining recreation fund is usually not self-sustaining a portion of the soccer salary rate should be taken from another park fund. Woodburn moved to amend the motion, seconded by Winiecki, that the amount of $5.50 for the hourly salary rate for "Soccer Instructors be taken from the Parks and Recreation Self-Sustaining Fund and that the Park Director be instructed to take the remaining $.50 per hour from another Park fund with surplus monies. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) Original motion as amended carried unanimously. (4-0) . CLERK ADMIN. APPOINTMENT Mayor Woodburn reported a committee was formed to interview five candidates and the candidates were ranked after all interviews were completed. Woodburn stated the top ranked candidate was Michael Mornson who is currently employed by the City of Big Lake as their City Administrator, The Mayor advised the Council has the option to ratify the top ranked choice of the committee or further review the candidates. Woodburn noted for the record that the actual selections of the committee were for more than one person and that this candidate was not a final selection. Mayor Woodburn thanked all the committee members for their input and efforts and noted that Tre:surer Frank Green was a tremendous asset during the interviews. Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve the appointment of Michael Mornson as Clerk Administrator of the City of Arden Hills, pending the receipt of two favorable references from current employers and resolution of a mutually agreeable employment contract between Arden Hills and Mornson. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) . Council concurred that they were not comfortable with some of the employment agreement terms submitted by Mornson and agreed that negotiations with Mornson would be regarding the terms for personal expenses, car allowance, termination notice and severance pay.
