MOTION PASSED.
6. Review of 2003 financial and usage totals. Kitty Baltos reported the financial and usage totals for
2003. The Board was happy with the numbers and felt that we should do more to get that
information out to the general public.
7. Consideration of proposal for Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) from ATM Merchant Services.
The Board reviewed the plans for putting the ATM machine into the community center. They
expressed concern over Kitty Baltos taking on the responsibility of filling the machine from a
safety stand point. Kitty said that she could have the machine filled by the overnight custodian
Mick Gresser. He has been with the City for a number of years and is very trustworthy. Kitty
Baltos reported that she would be having Rick Wolfsteller look over the proposal before signing.
8. Discussion of personnel policies for the community center for submission to the personnel
committee. Kitty Baltos reported some difficulties with the fact that the City Employee policies
differ slightly from the Community Center policies. The differences fall in the treatment of
Holidays, Cost of Living raises annually, and definition of permanent part-time employees. Kitty
wants to have the City create the community center employees as a separate class of employees
and define employee policies specifically for them. There has been discussion with Rick
Wolfsteller on this issue with no resolution. The concern is discrimination and if the City will
have difficulties in defining a separate class of employees. Harvey Kendall expressed
disappointment in the fact that Bruce Thielen was unable to be at the meeting, due to other City
commitments. Bruce Thielen is a member of the personnel committee. Harvey Kendall requested
that Kitty Baltos put this item on the next Advisory Board agenda to discuss when Bruce is here.
In the meantime the Board requested Baltos research what other Cities do.
9. Added Item: Security Problems. Harvey Kendall wanted an update on the thefts reported prior to
the last meeting. Melissa Larson had a check that had been in her possession cashed and there is
surveillance of the individual. There is difficulty getting the Hennepin Sherriff's department to get
the tape to Wright County. The other victim, Jennifer Tsai, had her purse and wallet found with
the credit cards and money gone in a dumpster in Big Lake. No suspects reported. The signs on
the locker rooms have been helpful in deterring any other thefts and we are giving out quarters if
someone needs one. Tom Neumann expressed that he would like to see that stopped. He feels
that it is clear enough that people should lock their lockers and we're enabling them. Kitty Baltos
is in the process of getting quotes on upgrades for the security cameras for the community center.
10. MOTION by Tom Neumann to adjourn the meeting, SECOND by Sandra Theros, MOTION
PASSED meeting adjourned at 5:55 p.m.
