12egular City C®uncil eeting IVI®nciay, July 23, 2007 Page 29 Councilmember Kough opined that the City Council should be in- volved in the interview process and have the final say. Mayor Klausing advised that a future discussion could be held; how- ever, noted that under Minnesota State Statute, Statutory Plan B Cit- ies, it was the responsibility of the City Manager for hiring and firing, with the exception of the City Attorney and the City Manager posi- tion. Councilmember Ihlan observed that, while there was both internal and external involvement in the previous selection for a Community De- velopment Director, she was not personally kept informed during the process; and opined that individual Councilmembers and the Council as a whole should be included in the process and interactions. Coun- cilmember Ihlan suggested that this be discussed further by the City Council during the interim period. City Manager Malinen encouraged individual Councilmembers to provide him with their input regarding attributes, priorities, skill sets and other areas of interest to seek in potential candidates. Councilmember Pust asked, and City Manager Malinen confirmed, that Councilmembers could provide their comment on the Job De- scription dated May 2006, and included in the Council Agenda packet. Klausing moved, Roe seconded, authorizing the City Manager to exe- cute an agreement between the City of Roseville and Short, Elliot and Hendrickson (S.E.H.) for Interim Community Development Director services in an amount not to exceed $50,000 to assist the City while conducting a search for a new Community Development Director. oll Call Ayes: Pust; Roe; Ihlan; Kough; and Klausing. l~Tays: None. s. esolution - Adopt a esolution Approving a Final Plat and va- cation o Certain asernents for oaten, I,P at 2335 i~ way 36 (Former Consent Item 9.s)
