City Council Agenda Packet 08-09-1982ADDENDUM TO THE AUGUST 9th AGENDA
After the supplement was distributed to each of you, several of us
began discussing the salary for the lab analyst position and we ar-
rived atsome varying conclusions that I would like to bring you up
to date on. The $21,540 figure in my estimation and after reviewing
it, should be considered as the top of a vav range. As I indicated
in the supplement, I used the difference of the monthly salary for
an engineering technician (which by the way should be corrected to
read $1,795 instead of $17,095) and the monthly salary for a waste-
water plant supervisor/foreman which was $1,759. In our discussion,
it occurred to me that instead of using the treatment plant super-
intendent's salary, I should have been using plant operator salary
which the monthly mean is $1,440 approximately per month. Taking
the difference between the $1,795 and $1,440, you get an average
of $1,617.50. Taking this figure times 12 months, you arrive at
annual salary of $19,410.00. I think this figure would accurately
reflect what the bottom of a pay range ought to be. Thus, the pay
scale for lab analyst would be $19,410 annually to $21,540.00
annually. The salary for scan should be set somewhere in the
middle. I guess upon reflection, I would be inclined to think in
terms of closer to' the. $20.000 rather than the $21.500 range,
since I find out this would be his first full time treatment plant
analyst's job. He has worked as a sanitarian and in other chemical
fields, but has never really hold the position of a plant analyst.
The $1,440 figure was arrived at by using the current hourly rate
established by the union contract and projected over an entire
year. In May of 1983, by union contract, the hourly rate of $8.30
will increase to $8.05, and I think that that extra $.55 an hour
would certainly make up the difference of the $590.00 that we are
short of the $20,000 figura. I think an adequate starting salary
should be, for Scan, in the range of $20,200.00 to $20,500.00.

MINUTES
REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
July 26, 1982 - 7:30 P.M.
Members Present: Fran Fair, Dan Blonigen, Ken Maus, Phil White.
Members Absent: Arve Grimsmo.
1. Call to Order.
2. Approval of the Minutes for the Meetinq Held on July 12, 1982.
A motion was made by Fair, seconded by Blonigen and unanimous-
ly carried to approve the minutes of the regular meeting held
on July 12th, 1982.
3. Petitions, Requests, Complaints/Citizens Comments.
Mr. Barry Bondhus, representing the heirs of the Tom Bondhus
estate, inquired of the Council if an exchange of the present
sign easement located on the parcel of land that his father
donated to the school for playground purposes along Hwy 25
next to the .ne:.0 public library could be established whereby
the present large sign could be removed with two smaller
signs being erected which would indicate that the land was
donated by Tom Bondhua. Mr. Bondhue was informed that the
City is not the actual owner of the property, but that the
school district still has control over the property. It was
noted by the Council that the City might be interested in
developing a park on the land and asked if Mr. Bondhua
thought this would be an acceptable use for the property.
Mr. Bondhuo thought that this use for some type of a park
even if parking was available in the park might he accept-
able, but he would talk it over with his family. In the
meantime, Mr. Bondhus will probably approach the school
board regarding the exchanging of the present largo sign
for two smaller signs.
4. Consideration of a Request to Increase Relief Association
Benefits for the Volunteer Fire Department.
Members of the volunteer tiro department wore again present
at the Council mooting to request an increase in their relief
association benefits from the present $500 annual retirement
benefit per year of service to $700 per year of service.
Schedules wore presented for Council review which indicated
that the Fireman's Relief Association would not require a
contribution from city taxes for the present $500 par year
benefit, but if the benefit was increased to $700 par year
of service, a contribution from the City in the amount of
Council Minutes - 7/26/82
$7,752.00 would be required. Also, if the benefit was in-
creased from $500 to $600 per year, approximately $1869.00
would still be required from city tax sources.
A recommendation was made by the City Administrator that
possibly the Association By -Laws could be rewritten to
allow the association to increase their benefit at any
time their Piro Relief Association Fund is self sufficient
and has a surplus. This would put the full responsibility
of keeping the fund liquid in the association's hands and
would not require any future contributions from other city
sources.
Fire Department members questioned whether this was legal
and indicated that the City Council may still have to approve
each additional raise, but a motion was made by White, second-
ed by Maus and unanimously carried to deny any increase in the
present $500 annual benefit and authorized the City Adminis-
trator to write up an ordinance amendment that would allow the
association's by-laws to be rewritten that would allow an in-
crease in their benefits at any time their fund can support
an increase without tax levies. It was noted that if it is
determined from legal counsel that this amendment would not
be legal, the Council would again review with the association
their request for an increase in benettta.
5. Consideration of Price Quotations for Construction of Froiqht
Loadinq Dock and Walk -In Cooler Expansion,
Liquor Store Manager, Mark Irmitor, again reviewed with the
Council two quotas he had previously obtained for the ex-
pansion of the walk-in cooler at the Liquor Store. One
quote was received from Liquor Store Equipment in the amount
of $1735.00 and the low quote was received from James Rofrig-
oration in the amount of $1667.00.
In addition, Mr. Irmitor noted that firm price quotas on
building a freight loading dock at the Liquor Store have not
all boon obtained from various contractors at the present
time and that additional problems have to be solved regarding
the water service to the building relocation if the loading
dock is built and requested that this item be separated and
brought up at the next Council meeting.
AD a result, a motion was made by Maus, seconded by Fair,
and unanimously carried to authorize the expenditure of
$1447.00 for the expansion of the walk-in cooler at the
Liquor Store by James Refrigeration.

Council Minutes - 7/26/82
6. Consideration of Retaining Wall Alternatives as Part of the
7th Street Improvement.
At the last Council meeting, bids were reviewed concerning
the construction and improvement of 7th Street with curb
and gutter between Highway 25 and Ccdar Street and also
bids were received on the construction of a retaining wall
on the north side of the street. A resolution accepting
the bid and awarding the job to Omann Construction solely
for the base bid of the street improvement was adopted in
the amount of $25,915.70 and the City Engineer, John Badalich,
was asked to contact the contractor regarding possible rene-
gotiation on the bids received for the construction of the
retaining wall.
A retaining wall portion of the contract consisted of either
constructing a stone wall at a low bid cost of an additional
$12,064.50 or construction of a railroad timber wall for an
additional $6,678.50. Mr. John Badalich of OSM noted that
representatives of Omann Construction Company did contact
all the bidders who gave prices for constructing the retain-
ing wall to see if he could get a lower price for a stone
•:all other than the $12,064.50 bid. Althounh, orininally,
representatives of the Omann Construction Company could not
obtain a lower cost figure than the $12,000, just recently
Mr. Badalich wao informed that Cmann Construction Company
could find a contractor that would do the stone wall for
$10,064.50, a $2,000 savings. Because of the 52,000.00
deduction, a motion was made by Ken Maua, aeeonded by Fair
and unanimously carried to adopt a resolution accepting
the bid for the construction of a retaining wall an part
of the 7th Street improvement from Omann Construction Com-
pany in the amount of $10,064.50, making the entire project
total $35,980.20. (See Resolution 1982 #52).
7. Resolution Accepting Petition and Authorizing Prenaration of
a Feasibility Report for Sewer and Water to Meadow Oak Sub-
division.
At the 14ginning of the July 12th, 1982 meeting, a petition
was prononted by the owner of the proposed Meadow Ooko Sub-
division roqueating a feasibility study on the axtonsion of
sower and water oarvicas to their subdivision.
Mr. Jim Boyle, owner of the proposed subdivision, requested
tho lmprovemento and faaoibillty study as he is planning to
dovolop his property into ainglo family and multiple family
buildingo In the near future.
Council Minutes - 7/26/82
Since more than at least 35% of the property owners possibly
affected by assessments have petitioned for the improvements,
a motion was made by Fair, seconded by Maus and unanimously
carried to adopt a resolution ordering the preparation of a
feasibility report for the extension of sewer and water to
the Meadow Oak Subdivision. Voting in favor: Fair, Maus,
White. Opposed: Blonigen, as he felt there were sufficient
residential lots available at the present time. (See
Resolution 1983 #53).
8. Resolution Acceptinq Bid and Awardinq Contract for Seal
Coatinq of City Streets.
Bids were received on Monday afternoon at 2.00 P.M. from four
contractors on the proposed seal coating project for 1982.
The bids ware as follows:
CONTRACTOR BASE BIB ALTERNATE #1

John Simola, Public Works Director, reviewed with the Council
the low bid received from Allied Blacktopping and recommended
that the base bid with sweeping for .3370 a square yard be
accepted for the 64,298 estimated square yards of seal
coating. In addition, Mr. Simola rec"=cnded that an addi-
tional 16,507 square yards of seal coating be added to tho
contract, making a total of 80,005 oquare yards for a total
price of $27,231.29 because of the favorablo bids received.
It was noted that although the budget had allowed $17,000
for seal coating, approximately $13,000 was budgetod for an
overlay along the frontage road by Gould Brothers Chevrolet
which will not be done this year and could be applied towards
the seal coating program.
As a result, a motion was made by Blonigon, seconded by Maus
and unanimously carried to adopt a resolution accepting the
bid from Allied Blacktopping for 80,605 square yardu of
soul coating at .3370 par square yard for a total outimated
price of $27,231.29. (Sao Resolution 1982 054).

9. Consideration of a Request to Extend a Variance Granted to
Trinity Lutheran Church.
In 1979, the Trinity Lutheran Church built a new addition
to their present facility and at that time wan granted a
variance for three years from the requirement that hard
surface parking be completed prior to occupancy. At this
time, the Trinity Lutheran Church is again requesting a
further extension of that hard surfacing requirement due
to financial hardships.
Mr. John Meier, spokesman for the Trinity Lutheran Church,
requested an extension from hard surfacing requirements
based on the following proposed four year plan. During
1982, the church is proposing to construct a 24 foot drive-
way opening along Broadway and a completion of the curb and
gutter for the parking area i=ediatcly east of the church
facility. During 1983, the proposal calls for the comple-
tion of approximately 450 feet of cast -west curb in the
additional parking lot area. During 1984, all proposed
grass areas and plantings will be completed per their plan
and in the year 1985, the church proposes to finish all
black topping on both parking lots.
Mr. Meier indicated that the above four year proposal if
accepted b•,• the Cit; r:euld enatie the church to financial!;
be able to complete the entire parking lot requirements by
1985.
A motion was made by Fair, seconded by Blonigen and unani-
mouoly carried to grant an extension on the black topping
requirement variance per the above four year improvement
plan.
10. Consideration of a Request by Marvin Georcle to Defor Special
Anneeamenta.
Approximately three yearn ago, the City Council adopted a
policy whereby an applicant for a building permit had either
160 days or at the time of occupancy of the new building that
the assessments outstanding against that parcel of land had to
be paid in full. Marvin George Builders, who have developed
coveral now homes in the Country Club Manor Estates, has four
new homes which aro presently built in Country Club Manor that
have not had the asaoocments paid in full. and aro over the 180
day limit. As a result, the Wilding inapoctor has refused
any further building pormito until uueh time au the previous
assessments are paid in full.
Council Minutes - 7/26/82
Mr. George requested that this ordinance section requiring
payment in full of all outstanding assessments be reviewed
or that a variance be granted to him to allow him to continue
construction of new homes in the development. Mr. George
noted that he has no problem with paying all outstanding
assessments once the homes are occupied or sold, but until
that time he requested that he be allowed to let the assess-
ments run their normal course over the original five year
assessment period.
It was noted by the Council that the present requirement
of assessments being paid at the time of occupancy or within
180 days of a building permit issuance is an ordinance and
would have to be amended at a public hearing. As a result,
a motion was made by Maus, seconded by Blonigen and unani-
mously carried to hold a public hearing on the possible
amendment to this ordinance at the next regular Council
meeting.
11. Consideration of a Proposal for a Joint City Council and
Planning Commission meeting.
A special joint meeting was scheduled for the Planning
Commission and City Council for Monday, Auyust 291J at
7:30 P.M. for the purpose of reviewing a possible new
zoning district labeled R-5. This new zoning district
would be for manufactured homes and an ordinance amend-
ment would be necessary creating this district and would
be reviewed by the City's Consulting Planner, Howard
Dahlgren and Associates.
12. Consideration of Approval for a one hay 3.2 beer liconse
for St. Henry's Fall Festival on Sentember 19, 1982.
A request was made by the St. Henry's Catholic Church
for the issuance of a ono day 3.2 beer license for their
annual Fall Festival to be held on September 19, 1982.
A motion wau made by Fair, seconded by Hlonigen and unani-
mously carried to approve the issuance of the one day 3.2
beer liconse for St. Henry's Catholic Church.
13. Consideration of Rezoning itequast - Rosewood Corporation.
Mr. Howard Rokstad of Rosewood Corporation requosted a
rezoning of a portion of the property owned by the Monti -
collo Mall located went -northwest of the present mall. Tho
rezoning request is based on the possible sale of a portion
of their property to this Chateau Plaza Corporation which is
proposing to build a 36 unit apartment complex for the
elderly. The roquoot for rezoning would be contingent upon
approval of the apartment project by the housing and Urban
Development..
Council Minutes - 7/26/82
Mr. Rekstad also noted that if the rezoning is granted and the
project goes forward, that the Rosewood Corporation would be
willing to work with the City in developing an alternate
route for a Collector Road access across the balance of their
property in order to provide access to the project when more
development occurs. This would be in line with the City's
plans to extend and develop a Collector Road through the area.
A motion was made by Maus, seconded by Fair and unanimously
carried to approve the rezoning request from B-3 to R-3 for
the purpose of developing a 36 unit elderly project contingent
upon HUD approval of the project and an agreement on the
future road alignment for the Collector Road. (See Ordinance
Amendment 1982 #117).
14. Consideration of Ordinance Amendment for a Go -Kart Track.
Mr. Jim Teslow has proposed developing a go-kart track on the
property he owns which lies on the west end of Elm Street
abutting the north side of 1-94. The property is currently
zoned 0-3 but the proposed use is not allowed currently under
the city ordinances. Mr. John Uban of Howard -Dahlgren and
Associates, City Planners, recommended that the following
amendment bo added to the city ordinances to allow go-kart
tracks within a B-3 zone as a conditional use:
Section 10-3-4 (M) Outdoor go-kart tracks provided that:
1. The proposed use must meet all conditions of
Section 10-3-4 (A).
2. The conditional use permit will be reviewed
yearly to determine whether or not it is com-
pa tiblc with neighboring properties and in
conformance with conditions of the condition-
al use.
3. A Solid wood, six foot high fence must be
part of the screening required when the ad-
jacent property is residential.
4. For dust and noise (7OD0 at rouidential pro-
perty lino) must bn controlled at all times
t o the satisfaction of the City.
Thin item was recently approved by the Planning Commiso(on
and as a rooult, a motion wan made by Fair, seconded by
Blonigan and unanimously carried to adopt an ordinance
amendment allowing out door go-kart tracks no a conditional
use within an E-3 commercial cone with the four conditions
noted above. (Soo ordinance amendment 1902 0118).
Council Minutes - 7/26/82
15. Consideration of Conditional Use Permit - Jim Teslow.
In reference to the previous item, Mr. Teslow requested the
conditional use permit to be allowed to develop a go-kart
track. Mr. Teslow had agreed to meet all of the conditions
required under the new ordinance amendment but did ask that
the conditional use be granted for three years initially
with annual reviews thereafter due to the large investment
required. Mr. Teslow noted that if the Council did grant
only a one year conditional use, he would be agreeable to
this.
Mr. John Uban of (toward Dahlgren 6 Associates recommended
that this conditional use be granted to Mr. Teslow as it
is his feeling that rather than having the land presently
owned by Mr. Teolow lie idle while a higher and better
use is proposed for the development, it would give the
property owner an opportunity to provide income from
that property at the present time.
A motion was made by Blonigen, seconded by Fair and unani-
mously carried to approve issuing a conditional use permit
to Mr. Teslow for developing a go-kart track according to
the conditions previously established including annual re-
views of the permit.
16. Consideration of Amending ordinances Pertaining to Planned
Unit Development.
During 1981, tho Planning Commission recommended adoption
of a now Planned unit Development ordinance which wan sub-
oquently adopted by the City Council. However, the City
Planner brought to the Planning Cemmission'a attention
shortcomings with the new shortened Planned Unit Develop-
ment ordinance and recommended that the City return to its
original Planned Unit Development ordinance.
It was the City Planner's recummondation based on tho fact
that the current ordinance leaves many details vague in
the requirements of the ordinance and the adoption of a
new PUD ordinance could eliminate many minundorstandinga.
As a result, a motion was made by Blonigen, socondod by
Fair and unanimously carried to approve abating the pronent
Plannod Unit Development ordinance now in effect and ro-
turning to the previous Planned Unit Development ordinance.
(See Ordinance Amendment 1982 4119).

4. Consideration of an Amendment to an Ordinance Establishing a Policy
for Assessments of Public Imorovements.
This was the matter that was brought to our attention by Mr. George
at the last meeting and it concerns primarily that provision of the
assessments ordinance, subdivision (h), that requires full payment
of any outstanding assessment prior to the issuance of a certificate
of occupancy or within 180 days after issuance of a building
permit, whichever comes first. As you recall, Mr. George's con-
tention is that the 180 day provision is questionable, and undesir-
able considering today's real estate market. As you directed, I
have met with the City Attorney on this matter concerning the
legality of the 180 day provision, but at this writing he has not
come up with an answer for me. I asked him to please get in touch
with me as soon as possible, but no later than Monday so I can
provide you with his opinion. I, frankly, do not see any difficulty
with amending the ordinance to delete the 180 day provision. We
must, however, leave the certificate of occupancy provision in the
ordinance. It is at this time that a developer should pay his
assessment in full so that the City is not carrying a considerable
outstanding debt on behalf of the developer. if you elect to amend
this portion of thu uadivance, Ui. io simp:i Lo y:::
the amendment a public reading and order its publication. The
amendment will then take effect on the date of the publication.
With respect to Mr. George, as soon as the amendment is in effect
then he may come in and apply for other building permits for other
sites, which aeems to be what has generated the conflict in the
first place.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Take no action and see if Mr. George initiates litigation.
2. Amend ordinance by deleting the phrase "or within 180
days aftor building permit for now construction is issued,
whichever comes first".
RECOMMENDATION: Amend the ordinance and delete the 180 day pro-
vision.

5. Consideration of the Creation of the Position, Laboratory Analyst,
for the Wastewater Treatment Plant and Whether or not to Call for
Applicants.
When the new Wastewater Treatment Plant becomes operational, we
will be prepared to assume a good deal of our own laboratory test-
ing. A lab has been designed and is being set up within the con-
fines of the plant. It is my understanding that at the time
Sean Hancock was hired, there was already anticipation that a lab
analyst would be needed and that since he had education in chem-
istry in the biological sciences that he should be kept in mind
for the position. With the start up of the now plant pending, I
thought it would be best to establish the job and create the job
description and call for applicants for the position. You will
note in the job description that while there is considerable lab
analysis required, the person in the position will still be assuming
duties related to plant maintenance and operation, and thus
at least for the present, we will not be creating one entirely new
employment position. The fact that we are creating a new job
description can be interpreted either as an appointment procedure
or a promotion from within the service with respect to Scan.
In either case, the Council has the appointing authority and may
appoint which ever applicant cost fultiiis the requirement. Thu
only difference would be that as a new position we would have to
recruit by giving ten days public notice for applicants and for pro-
motion, we simply need to post notice of the intent to fill such
vacancy for five working days.
The job description was drafted largely as a composite from other
similar positions in other cities. John Simola, Jim Miller, Scan
Hancock and I spent one entire morning discussing the various
aspects within the description and find it to suitably describe
,+hat will be required. The lab analyst will be a non-union posi-
tion, and because of the natural flexibility, we feel it should
be a salaried position, with respect to the salary, it is very
difficult to datormino a salary range by comparing with other
cities. The League of Minnesota Cities salary survey does not
lint a apecific catagory for lab technician, lab analyst or what-
evor,rather lab analyats are often included under the job doscrip-
tion of Plant Operator. They do, however, have a job classifi-
cation called Engineoring Technician which is with respect to
education requirements and technical expertise is a similar typo
of position. What I did in determining my racommandcd salary for
our lab analyst was to take the mean salary for engineering
technician in cities of populations of 2,500 to 5,000 as wall as
moan salaries for plant foreman in the cities of the same Giza
and arrived at a salary in between. According to the league
salary survey, the mean salary for engineering technician is
$17,095 monthly and plant foreman mean salary is $17,059 monthly.

Council Agenda - 8/9/82
My recommendation is that our lab analyst salary be net at $17,075
monthly or an annual salary of $21,540.00. please note also that
the lab analyst will be assuming supervisory responsibility in
the absence of designated supervisors. By definition as well, the
lab analyst will have significant quality control over the plant
operations and must carry substantial recommendation power with
respect to the operations of the plant. If Sean were not made a
salaried employee, we could anticipate, by union contract, paying
him $18,122.00 for the bare minimum of 40 hours a week. This is
$3,418.00 short of the $21,540.00 1 have recommended. It would
take approximately 22 hours of overtime per month to use up the
$3,418.00 savings, if all overtime were figured solely at time
and a half, nine at double time. 22 hours per month translate to
274 hours per year. In 1981, Sean worked 161 hours of overtime
and to date through June 30th, Sean has worked 115 hours of over-
time already, so that the increased salary over and above regular
hourly rate plus overtime pay would not be substantial. Sean knows
that he will be required to work overtime when the demand is there
and I intend to let him know that certain weekend duty will be
required. Also, the salary is slightly presuming that we are
paying for the added education and technical expertise that the
job requires over that of the standard equipment operator that is
defined in cite union Cun LracL. 14 siwuiu ion i—Lua Li,aL .iti, Ll -
advent of analyst's position and the operation of the new treat-
ment plant, we may be required to look at a new employee. As
for as I understand, Jim Miller and John in their budgeting work-
shacts are anticipating the hiring of one newly created position.
This really leads us into an entirely different issue and will
have to be discussed at lengths as we complete the 1983 budget
and go into the start up procedure of the plant.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
1. Advertise and recruit for the position. This would require
ten days published notice in the newspaper calling for ap-
plicants.
2. To promote from within, this requires 5 days Posted notice
and we accept applications from only our present employees.
Even with a promotion from within type of posting, formal
applications will be submitted and we can choose to review
each application based on their individual merit.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend we view this as a promotion from within,
publish the notice effective Wednosday, the Ilth of August and cloning
Wednesday, the l8th, and that the official job description be adopted
by motion and that the salary be oat at $21,540.00 annually.

6. Consideration of an Agreement Between the City and Thomas A.
Eidem Providinq for Deferred': Compensation Plan with National
Life of Vermont.
As you recall shortly after I began work for the City, you drafted
and adopted two resolutions allowing me to withdraw from the PERA
Program and establish a retirement plan of my own. After some
review I have elected to establish a Deferred Compensation Plan
which is made up of two parts, a $100,000 life insurance policy and
a side annuity fund with National Life of Vermont. The primary
reason I selected Uational Life of Vermont is the fact that my sister
works for them. In order for the plan to be a qualified Deferred
Compensation Plan, the basic assumption is that the City owns the
retirement plan and it is a city asset rather than my personal
asset or personal policy. What the agreement states is that upon
retirement, death termination or any separation of employment, the
City then will turn over the sums to me. The amount that is going
into the plan on a monthly basis is a combination of what was or-
iginally the city's 5.5% PERA contribution plus an amount that I
have elected from my regular salary to be deferred and placed into
the fund. Rick and I have worked out the numerical details and
figured out what the sums will be. With respect to the life insur-
Ance nortion of the plan, we have sioned a chock -o -uratic form
that will allow the premium to be paid automatically by the bank
rather than the City having to issue a check and the company having
to send us a bill each month. Rick has stated that as long as the
bank gives us the proper notification, which they do, there is no
difficulty with recording this typo of arrangement. Basically then,
to sum up the program I have selected, the City shall own as their
asset a fund which in a retirement fund for me and and is a deferred
compensation plan] the agreement I am coking you to enter in a state-
ment saying that at whatever time we should cover our working rela-
tionship, all monies in the fund will be granted to me or my bone-
ficiarios or estate executives, etc.

7. Consideration of a Request to Install Concrete Flooring in the
new City Maintenance Buildinq. U.S.)
Lester's have completed the new pole building on west Co. Rd. 39.
The building was completed on time with no change orders whatso-
ever.
The workmanship and materials in this building are excellent and
I ask that each of the Coucnil members visit the building and
judge for themselves.
The total cost of the building is $19,368.00 against a corrected
budget figure of $21,750.00. I ask the Council that we dedicate
the difference of $2,382.00 towards the installation of a concrete
floor and a 100 amp electrical service in the building.
The City has the service panel, lights, conduit and miscolla.icous
wire salvaged from the Oakwood and Dowling properties. we would
have to purchase the serve wire and breakers for approximately
$150.00. The Cost of the concrete, reinforcing wire and joint
material is approximately $2,230, making the total $2,380.00.

Nark irmiter will be present with the financial report and be pre-

expenses sheet that dollar amount between current period and year
to date for this year in both categories, revenue and expense are
up over same period and year to date last year amounts as well as
the fact that the ratios have remained fairly consistent. This to
me indicates a fairly stable operation and that we can, as a result,
anticipate approximately the as= type of transferable revenues as
we have experienced in the past.

9. Consideration of a Proposal to Construct a Freiqht Loadinq Dock at
Hi -Way Li4uors.
It seems that this topic has a way of getting itself unto alot of
agendas without getting solved. At the agenda meeting with all the
staff members present on Tuesday, i was informed that because of
relocation of a water line and the various facets of the job that
would be required to construct the dock, people were very slow in
developing bids and that initial estimates were looking consider-
ably higher than we had proposed. As a result of that, we dis-
cussed the possibility of the city staff getting involved as much
as possible and attacking the job on a piece by piece basis doing
what- we could when we could and eventually arriving at an end pro-
duct. So it was that we intended not to put it on the agenda and
compile complete data on what it would take for city staff to du
a project of this type. After the preconstruction meeting for the
7th Street Project, the foreman of Duan Construction who will be
doing the 7th Street Project said that they would be very interested
in coming over and tackling the freight loading job. John Simola
then told me that perhaps we should put it back on the agenda in
case they are able to put together a solid quote and be willing to
take on the job. This item is on the agenda only because we might
have actual proposals by nonday evening. Pleasu wuutj iu wiil that
we might not have concrete proposals and thus this item would be
dropped from the agenda at meeting time.

10. Consideration of a Proposal to Provide Electrical Power to the
Animal Pound. O .S.)
The 230 volt overhead single phase elecrical service for the dog
pound is soon to be removed by NSP. The new underground service
for the wastewater Treatment Plant will be 460/480 volt 3 phase.
No new service was allowed for in hte construction project and it
appears that it would not be fundable.
NSP has estimated the cost of providing a new separate service to
the dog pound at $3,200 which would include a pad mount step down
transformer off the WWTP main service. The only other option
would be to provide 208 volt single phase power from the new
sludge vehicle garage by splitting phases. Davidson Electric -
has estimated this cost to be $1,500 to $1,800.00.
it is my recommendation that we do the latter as it is the most
cost effective and we will eliminate minimum billings and will
have emergency power at the dog pound.

11. Consideration of Establishinq Election Judqe Role and Desionating
Pollinq Place.
Statute requires that the City Council by motion, appoint all of
the election judges for both the primary and general election
and designate the official polling place. It is my understanding
that the full election has always been held within the City Hall
utilizing the Council Chambers as the main balloting room. I
have contacted 26 people who have affirmed that they would be
willing to serve as a judge in the upcoming elections. A simple
motion stating basically that the City Hall will be the official
polling plat= for the 1982 election and that the following people
are officially appointed as election judges is all that is re-
quired. My original plan, and I have not yet abandoned it, is to
have 30 judges available for the general election on November 2.
This, of course, covers all of the shifts necessary from the
opening of the polls through the final counting and tabulating.
While we at this time only have 26 persons, we will continue to
search for the remaining four. At the time I receive confir-
mation from four other people, I will bring those names before
the Council for their official appointment.
?Fz'F.?FNCR.St A cony of s samnla mntion that should be passed for
the designation of the polling place and the appointment of
election judges.

I move that the City Hall located at 250 Fust Broadway be

COUNCIL UPDATE
August 23, 1982
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - L.K.
The two previously cancelled Planning Commission meetings are
scheduled for Tuesday, August 31, 1982. These items will be
on the September 13th, 1982 agenda.
The following items I simply wish to give you a status report,
and are not for Council action. T.E.
1. The cement floor done by our staff in the new garage
is complete and appears to me to be satisfactory. As
Roger Mack mentioned, himself, it is rough and perhaps
would not be considered a professionally done floor,
lxit it han perfectly good drainage and is more than
acceptable for its function. The actual costs includ-
ing city salaries, benefits and all of the expenses
is attached.
With respect to your earlier question about the cost
of changing colors on the wator tower, John chocked
that out and was quoted a price of $3,800.00 to change
colors. The contract originally called for aluminum
paint and to change now the contractor would request
the extra sum. Since the aluminum tower is perfectly
attractive as it is at this time, I told John to go
ahead and stay within the confines of the contract
and that we can renegotiate a color option in the
next maintenance contract.

I am enclosing for your review the resume and application
of Scan Hancock for promotion to lab analyst. I think it
would be wise not to take this up at the upcoming meeting
but give yourself the full three weeks until the first
meeting in September to look over his application and think
of any questions you might have of him or me or John Simola
or Jim Miller concerning the position as a whole. Likewise,
you may wish to think more about, and talk amongst your-
selves about the salary that you will be offering. If
there are any matters that are of concern to you, please
feel free to call.
