City Council Study Session - 09/19/05 Minutes - Page 13 902.06C as is; noted allowing permitted uses during transition while not allowing for long-term situations. Councilmember Ihlan was supportive of restrlctmg future underground tanks, to clearly make it known that fuel and/or chemical tanks were not considered part of the Twin Lakes redevelopment scheme. Discussion included addressing service station locations with underground fuel tanks; CUP's required for gas stations; proper zoning designations for redevelopment areas; land use perspectives and zoning map clarification; and possible structures in place to restrict undesirable uses. City Manager Beets noted that staff would be reviewing the City's Comprehensive Plan over the next two years, and perhaps designation of an "ultra-hazardous use," was another section of zoning to be considered. No definitive direction was given to staff. 6. Discuss Compensation Plan for Councilmembers and Employees Human Resources Manager Eldona Bacon provided a summary of several compensation proposals, as outlined in detail in the staff report dated September 19, 2005. Ms. Bacon reviewed the City's five different employee groups, with three groups represented by labor unions with their compensation negotiated as part of their collective bargaining agreements and not completely incorporated into a set formal pay plan. Remaining staff is non-union belonging to one of two compensation plans: Exempt or Non-Exempt. Ms. Bacon noted that all compensation plans were approved annually with the budget by the City Council, and updated on January I of each year, with maximum rates adjusted by the Council through approved cost of living adjustments (COLA) based on current market trends. Ms. Bacon noted that, due to the unique nature of part-time, volunteer firefighters, they were not included in the plan, but Ms. Bacon requested Council input as to their status.
