Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 12, 2008 Page 7 Councilmember Roe noted, on page 6 of 20 of the fee schedule, the changes in dog and cat fees had not been included. Councilmember Pust concurred, noting the need to include lifetime pet license fees. At the Council's consensus, the schedule was approved, as presented, with minor correction to the column headings as noted. Klausing moved, Ihlan seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10624 entitled, "Resolution Establishing the Revised 2008 Fee Schedule;" recognizing the recent City Council approval of administrative tickets in various categories, as detailed in the Fee Schedule Attachment A of the Resolution. Roll Call Ayes: Pust; Roe; Ihlan and Klausing. Nays: None. Staff was requested to return at a future meeting for approval of the revised document, to include lifetime animal ordinance fees. b. Approve Fire Department Administrative Assistant Job Description (Former Consent Agenda Item 7.g) At the request of Mayor Klausing, City Manager Bill Malinen briefly reviewed the request for a change in the Fire Department Administrative Assistant Job De- scription, as detailed in the staff report. Mr. Malinen noted the proposed combi- nation of two job descriptions, that of Department Assistant and that of Fire- fighter, with transition from part-time to full-time as authorized in the 2008 Fire Department Budget. Mr. Malinen further noted that there would be no financial impact as the pay grade was the same for both positions. Councilmember Pust noted that when the proposal was first presented by the De- partment from part to full-time, her impression was that the request was due to the administrative needs of the department; and questioned that apparent change in the primary position function to that of firefighter. City Manager Malinen clarified that the Administrative Assistant function re- mained primary, but that by adding skills for Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), it would complement staff's need to provide an additional trained responder as needed during weekday hours when the department's service calls were highest. Councilmember Pust noted inconsistencies in the Position Description duties in the proposed document, with original discussions.
