<br /> L <br /> - . <br /> Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, October 27, 1986 <br /> Page S <br /> Status Report - Lindev's TrianKle <br /> Mayor referred Council to Memo from Attorney (10-24-86) which suggests the <br /> backstop be taken down and the matter of Lindey's Triangle be placed on the <br /> November 10 or 24 agenda for discussion. <br /> Hicks moved, seconded by Peck, that based on the Attorney's recommendation we <br /> dismantle the backstop and schedule a closed session with Attorney Plunkett on <br /> November 24th. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) <br /> Clerk Administrator Appointment <br /> Mayor summarized the interview process and advised one person had been picked <br /> . near the top of every members list. He felt the appointment should be made <br /> this evening because of the time frame; overlap with current Clerk's position <br /> would make the transition easier. <br /> Hicks moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council appoint Patricia Morrison Clerk <br /> Administrator and ask for her response by November 10th so in the event she <br /> declines our offer we can follow up on our second choice; salary recommendation <br /> to be made part of the motion starting salary of $35,000.00 per year. <br /> Hansen asked if there was to be a provision for a 6 month increment step in <br /> salary after evaluation. <br /> Peck suggested discussion of a formalized contract; could refer matter to <br /> attorney for advise and creation of such a document. <br /> Mayor stated it is his understanding that administrative positions are <br /> reappointed each year. <br /> McNiesh advised that it is her understanding that the Clerk doesn't have to be <br /> reappointed each year, per League of Cities Handbook, however Council has <br /> chosen to do so. <br /> Sather stated he questioned value of contracts in this type of <br /> employee/employer relationship. He felt it breaks down communications lines and <br /> if Ms. Morrison is willing to work on similar arrangement to Mrs. McNiesh he <br /> felt it would be fair for her and for the community. <br /> After discussion, it was the Council consensus not to establish a contractual <br /> agreement for the Clerk Administrator position. <br /> Hicks moved to amend the motion to include a salary adjustment after a <br /> satisfactory six month performance review with no less than a 3% increase. <br /> seconded by Peck. <br /> Sather said he would prefer to offer a performance review with further salary <br /> consideration at that time rather than give a dollar figure or percentage now. <br /> Hansen concurred. <br /> Hicks withdrew the motion, Peck withdrew the second. <br /> Peck moved, seconded by Hicks, to amend the motion to state November 3rd for <br /> response to offer, and start no later than December 1st. Amended motion carried <br /> unanimously (5-0) <br /> . Original motion carried unanimously (5-0) <br /> Hicks moved, seconded by Hansen, that if Patricia Morrison declines the <br /> position of Clerk Administrator the position be offered to Gregory Withers. <br /> Hicks withdrew motion. Hansen withdrew second. <br /> Other Business <br /> Hansen reported on an appointment to the Rice Creek Watershed District; <br /> questioned procedure on such matters. <br /> McNiesh advised Council could forward a letter in support of the incumbent if <br /> they wish to do so; she will check with him to see if he is interested in <br /> continuing to serve. <br /> -~--- <br />
