Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 28, 2013 Page 6 Ayes: Willmus; Laliberte; Etten; McGehee; and Roe. Nays: None. Mayor Roe requested staff to include a history of any violations with packet mate- rials for that upcoming action item. Regarding liquor license renewals, Councilmember Laliberte questioned license requirements for tap rooms and distilleries at the same location, noting the interest expressed by Pour Decisions in opening a distillery. Mr. Miller advised that he would provide more detailed information in the near future; however, he noted that no local distillery license was required, only per- mits form the State of MN. 8. Consider Items Removed from Consent d. Consider Establishing Position within Information Technology Division At the request of Mayor Roe, Interim City Manager Trudgeon briefly summarized this request, as detailed in the RCA dated October 28, 2013. Mr. Trudgeon clari- fied that this position was funded in 2013 for all participating member cities of the consortium, including Roseville, as well as in their 2014 budgets. Mr. Trudgeon advised that this first position, as requested tonight, would be for a Desktop Sup- port position, with costs incorporated in the 2014 budget; with another position yet anticipated in 2014 as well. Mr. Trudgeon advised that Finance Director Chris Miller, who directly supervises the City's IT Division, was available to answer questions. From his perspective, Councilmember Willmus noted that the City Council was being asked to look at a number of positions that would significantly impact fu- ture budgets; and he was struggling with that number and the subsequent compen- sation needs and adjustments they would require. Councilmember Willmus opined that he would like a better understanding of the total dollars for all of those various positions; as he would then need to determine if it was best to create new positions or look at compensation adjustments for existing staff. For clarification purpose, Councilmember Etten asked if the position had already been included in the 2013 Budget cycle, and therefore would not be new in the 2014 budget. Mr. Miller responded affirmatively, noting that the position had been new in the 2013 budget for all cities, and included in their respective budgets, and would not be new in the 2014 budget.
