<br />Intern Recommendations <br /> <br />Mr. March stated he interviewed three interns last week. He recommended <br />Michael Duffek from Minneapolis for this position. Mr. March noted the intern <br />would receive $10.00 per hour with no benefits. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard-Vickers asked how long Mr. Duffek would be <br />employed by the City. Mr. March stated this would be for a minimum of three <br />months, as this has been the practice in the past. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Swedberg. seconded by Council Member Broussard- <br />Vickers to approve Michael Duffek as the City's Planning Intern. All in <br />favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Committee Items <br /> <br />Lisa Heiselhorst noted she has spoken with a helicopter company to provide rides <br />at the Fete des Lacs Festival. She indicated there would be no expense to the <br />City. Ms. Heiselhorst explained the Committee would need to have 100 square <br />feet of space available to land the helicopter within the park. She suggested <br />holding the rides at LaMotte Park in the soccer field or in the field near St. <br />Genevieve's. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked that the police department be contacted <br />with regard to any objections. Mr. Hoeft agreed. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked what liability the City would have with this type of <br />entertainment. Mr. Hoeft indicated the insurance held by the helicopter company <br />would need to be inspected and reviewed. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked that the committee check the maintenance qualifications <br />and with the County Aviation Official at the Anoka County Airport with regard to <br />the entrance and exit to the flight path. He indicated he felt safety was of the <br />utmost importance to the residents. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra explained she felt landing at the elementary school may <br />be a better location than LaMotte Park, due to the crowds of people at the <br />celebration. <br /> <br />Ray De Vine asked if the park members would have to return to Council with this <br />item or if they could go forward if all things checked out. Mayor Swedberg stated <br />that if all things checked out the committee could go forward. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg reviewed the first recommendation as submitted by the Parks <br />and Recreation Committee.
