. " Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, October 13, 1986 Page 7 Clerk Administrator advised the Council the Parks Director had quoted a figure of $1,200 for materials to pour the floor at the picnic shelter. Hansen asked if this matter could be held until the next regular Council meeting. McNiesh advised the delay, because of changeable weather conditions, may pose a problem for the contractor. . It was the general opinion of the Council that the estimate for materials should have been more detailed, however, they felt the concrete floor would enhance the picnic shelter at Cummings Park. Sather moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve the additional 24' x 24' concrete floor for the picnic shelter at Cummings Park, at a cost not to exceed $1,200.00, to be negotiated by the Parks Director with Wilfred Head and Son. Motion carried unanim~usly.

Status Report - Park Dedications Sather reported the pending park dedications were: Opus Corporation, Shannon Square, Welsh, and McGuire. He advised Council he had received a preliminary offer from Opus Corporation, but had not heard from C.G. Rein/Shannon Square. Preliminary Discussion - 1987 Union Contract Mayor Woodburn asked if the Wage Opener was the only item for discussion. Sather advised Wages and Benefits will be open. Hansen asked Sather if he wished to continue as liaison or if she should assume the post and also, if the Council wished to retain Karen Olsen for negotiations or keep thllm "in-house". Sather stated the Mayor should decide on the liaison from Council. He further advised he felt Council should either use outside negotiators from the beginning or not at all. Sather suggested asking for Union proposal from the Union Steward, reviewing the demands and then deciding if outside negotiators should be retained. He stated process should be easier than 1986 negotiations, as there would not be excessive language changes in the 1987 Contract. It was the general consensus of the Council that the Clerk Administrator be instructed to contact Union Business Representative and request the proposals for the 1987 Union Contract. . Other Business Hansen advised Council of the vacancies on the Planning Commission and asked for recommendations to fill the positions, possibly female members as suggested by the Planning Commission members.
