<br />. <br /> <br />VI. <br /> <br />VII. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg thanked Mr. Hoeft for his recommendations and efforts on these <br />City issues. <br /> <br />PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS - None. <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br />Search Process and Plan for the Vacant City Administrator Position (Update) <br /> <br />Councilmember Nelson indicated he spoke with Tom Sathe and indicated he was <br />looking for a dollar amount available for travel expenses for applicants out of the <br />metro. She noted Mr. Sathe had roughly seven or eight applicants at this time and <br />would be completing interviews this next week. <br /> <br />Councilmember Nelson explained Mr. Sathe was looking for a dollar range for <br />assistance in moving a new candidate, as well, and also covering expenses for <br />final interviews. <br /> <br />Councilmember Nelson stated she spoke with a moving company and found <br />$4,000 should cover the expense of moving a candidate with roughly $1,000 for <br />hotel and eating expenses during final interviews. She noted she would be in <br />agreement with setting an expense amount to keep an applicant interested in the <br />City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Travis stated he felt this was a great deal of money to keep <br />someone interested in the City of Centerville. <br /> <br />Councilmember Capra indicated she felt this could be a negotiating tool for the <br />City to use for potential candidates. She explained if this was not to exceed <br />$6,000 she may be in favor of the expense account. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers stated she may be interested in the City <br />covering this expense but would like to leave the amount open ended at this time. <br />She indicated applicants applying from out ofthe area, would expect to move <br />when applying for this job. <br /> <br />Councilmember Capra stated she would be in favor of covering the expenses of <br />the second interview. Councilmember Broussard Vickers agreed this amount <br />should stay open ended, as the Council does not want to commit themselves to <br />applicants just yet. <br /> <br />Councilmember Nelson noted she would report this information back to Mr. <br />Sathe. <br /> <br />Rain Water Gardens <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg reviewed an article about the rainwater gardens from the Star <br />Tribune for the Council to review. <br /> <br />5 of 10 <br />
