r WEE K = N REVIEW Edition # 40 12 -1 -97 through 12 -5 -97 Building permits issued this period = 3 Building permits issued YTD = 158 * Reminder! A workshop has been scheduled for 6:00 on Monday, 12/8/97 to discuss the surface water management plan and to review the 1998 proposed budget. If anyone does not have a copy of the budget, please contact me. We have only had a couple of calls in regards to the Truth in Taxation hearing. * The interviews have been completed for the position of public works employee. Seven candidates were interviewed for the position. It was a unanimous committee decision to recommend offering the position to Robert Westerlund. Attached to this Week in Review is Robert's application. It is anticipated that Robert would begin employment on January 5, 1997. Mr. Westerlund's background examination has been completed with no violations being uncovered. Upon approval by the Council to offer the position, a pre - employment physical and drug screening would be ordered. The employment of the part -time employees would be discontinued upon the start of the new full -time position. Robert Barron has expressed interest in continuing his relationship with the City in a seasonal or on- call basis as needed. * I attended the Park and Recreation meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday, but there was not a quorum present. The President and two Vice Presidents from the Chain of Lakes Little League were present and some informal discussion occurred on the development of LaMotte Park. It was indicated that the Little League had funds they would make available for the ball field construction in the park. The next Little League season could be completed by 7/4/98. This would work well for starting the initial phase of construction after the 1998 City celebration. * I spoke with Dorothy Person from Local Government Consulting to check on her progress. Dorothy will be present at the meeting on December 10th to share the results of her job evaluations, job rankings and market study results. She will not be able to make any specific recommendations for any positions until she conducts the pay equity review on her findings. Dorothy expects to be able to make recommendations on specific positions approximately the week after Christmas.
