<br />8. Authorization to Advertise for Full-Time Receptionist. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated he was pleased to report that Ms. Sweeney is picking up the <br />bookkeeping quickly and he would like authorization to recruit for an entry-level <br />receptionist. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg noted that Council Member Broussard Vickers had voiced a concern <br />that future City employees have more computer knowledge and then suggested this <br />matter be tabled to the next meeting to allow for Council Member Broussard Vicker's <br />input. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded bv Council Member Capra to table <br />this matter to the next Council meetin2. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Mr. March noted Staff might not be able to keep up with things the way they would like <br />to because they are short staffed. He then noted there were some things that were not <br />kept up with, the previous way the accounting was being done. <br /> <br />9. Flammable Waste Traps. <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer explained to Council that a flammable waste trap is a trap that catches salt, <br />sand and flammables such as gas and oil, and only allows the water to flow into the City <br />sewer. He explained the new public works building does not have a flammable waste <br />trap and is not connected to City sewer. He recently was made aware that the waste from <br />the public works building flows directly into the creek without being treated. He then <br />explained it would cost approximately $35,000 to run City sewer and water and to add <br />the flammable waste traps. y~ ., J,'f 11f v . ~ <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked if the money could come out of sewer and water funds. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked if the previous owner had any liability to help pay to remedy the <br />situation. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft stated he would need to investigate the issue but noted he felt it <br />would be more cost beneficial for the City to fix the problem rather than to try to get the <br />previous owner to share in the costs to do so. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson questioned whether a portion ofthe improvements could be <br />made or whether the entire expenditure was necessary. Mr. Palzer noted the City would <br />save $11,000 of the estimate if it did not run City water to the site. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft stated the City needed to get the problem fixed sooner rather than <br />later, noting if the City keeps moving forward toward resolution ofthe matter it should be <br />fine. <br /> <br />Page 12 of 15 <br />
