MINUTES
REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
Monday, January 27, 1992
Members Present: Ken Maus, Shirley Anderson, Clint Herbst, Brad
Fyle, Dan Blonigen
Members Absent: None
Approval of minutes of the reqular meetinq held January 13,
1992.
Ken Maus noted that Parks Commission member Fran Fair's term
should be revised to show an expiration of 1994 rather than
1991, as noted by mistake in the meeting minutes. After
discussion, a motion was made by Shirley Anderson and seconded
by Clint Herbst to approve the meeting minutes with the change
as noted. Motion carried unanimously.
Citizens comments/pet it ions, requests, and complaints.
Area residents representing the Hockey Association were in
attendance to voice t heir concern regarding the possibility of
the development of an aquatic center without first reviewing
the potential for the development of a hockey arena. It was
noted by other representatives from the group that the growth
and popularity of hockey has been tremendous in the area.
Other communities have responded to the popularity of the
sport by developing hockey arenas. These arenas help draw
businesses to the area and if operated properly can be self-
supporting. Maryann Porter voiced her opposition to the
aquatic center concept because the aquatic center cannot be
used all year around. It was her view that the hockey arena
should take priority over an aquatic center. Marianne Foldesi
noted that development of a hockey arena could include an area
for meeting rooms and senior citizen areas. The facility
could be used for a wide variety of community events.
Ken Maus suggested that the question of whether or not the
City should be participating in the development of a hockey
arena should be passed on to the Parks Commission for comment
and then referred to the Council for later review, Shirley
Anderson wondered, "why can't the development of a hockey
arena be a combined effort between neighboring townships and
the City of Mont Ice Ilo? ". Ken Maus also noted that the City
will work closely with townships or the school district when
it's time to move ahead on development of a hockey arena.
Council Minutes - 1/27/92
Brad Fyle noted that the school district has a larger taxing
area that matches the population that will be using the arena;
therefore, it is his view that the school district be the
entity that funds development of a hockey arena.
Consideration of a resolution adopting an ordinance requirinq
licensing businesses conducting adult use/principal or adult
use/accessory activities.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill reminded Council that at the
previous meeting Council adopted the zoning ordinance
amendments defining and regulating adult uses and tabled
consideration of the companion ordinance requiring licensing
of adult use as principal and adult use as accessory. The
Council tabled the matter pending development of a resolution
outlining findings supporting the establishment of the
ordinance. In addition, few modifications to the ordinance
were needed in response to Council discussion.
O'Neill outlined the proposed amendments to the ordinance and
requested that Council consider adoption of a resolution
supporting establishment of the ordinance. Paulette Conroy
and others were in attendance to request that the City Council
consider increasing the fee for adult/use accessory from $50
to a higher number to reflect the fact that the City spends
more than $50 to process each adult/use accessory license
application. She noted that extensive background checks are
done on each applicant, public hearing notices must be sent,
a business site inspection must be conducted, and, on
occasion, it is probably likely that legal fees are spent in
review of the application. Therefore, when looking at these
costs, it appears that it could be justified that the City
should increase the fee above $50.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill noted that it is very possible
that the fees could be increased to reflect the actual City
costs. He noted, however, that the City Attorney indicated
that the City must be careful to avoid using the licensing as
a revenue -raising measure or as a method to make it difficult
for this type of use to locate in the City. If the court
finds that the City is charging a high licensing fee as a
cover for trying to keep this typo of use out of the City, the
ordinance could be thrown out, and then there would be no
regulations governing this activity. O'Neill noted that it
was the City Attorney's view, therefore, that the fee be
relatively low so as to assure the City that the ordinance is
viable.
Council Minutes - 1/27/92
Council then reviewed the costs associated with processing an
adult use accessory license. After reviewing the costs in
detail, it was determined that the costs do exceed $250 per
license application and therefore the licensing fee as
proposed should be revised from $50 to $250 and the proposed
resolution supporting the ordinance should be amended by
including a listing of all the expenses associated with
processing an adult accessory use license.
After discussion, a motion was made by Shirley Anderson and
seconded by Dan Blonigen to approve the resolution adopting an
ordinance requiring licensing businesses conducting adult/use
principal or adult/use accessory activities with the exception
that the proposed ordinance be amended to include a $250 fee
for licensing rather than a $50 fee as proposed. In addition,
the resolution should be modified by including the following
list of expenses associated with processing of the license
application.
The cost to the City of conducting investigations
and issuing licenses for adult use/accessory are as
follows:
Police investigations: $175
Cost of Assistant City Administrator: $30
Publication costs: $80
Cost of City Administrator: $50
Legal fees: $0
Motion carried unanimously.
At this point in the meeting, the Monticello Hockey team arrived.
A number of members were given the floor and they expressed the
desire that the City consider development of a hockey arona. They
aro tired of being on the bus 1 1/2 hours every day to practices
and games. Ken Maus thanked them for their comments and noted that
the matter has been referred to the Parks Commission for further
review.
5. Consideration of ordering plans and specs for now warming
house/community building/'Year-round restrooms for West Bridgo
Park.
John Simola presented a warming house plan for west Bridge
Park and noted that the plan has boon reviewed and approved by
the Parks Commission. In his review, Simola noted that this
Item has boon in the City budget since 1988, with no action
taken on it. Simola reviewed the concept which included the
possibility of using an A -frame construction in the park to
Council Minutes - 1/27/92
take advantage of the view of the river along with providing
an aesthetically -pleasing building at the entrance to the
community. Some of the features of the building would be as
listed below.
1. A -frame construction using standard shingled roof.
2. incorporation of a loft over the restroom area for
a view of the river.
3. The use of 4 -foot high burnished block on the
exterior walls and burnished block on the interior
walls to provide durability and low maintenance.
4. The use of pine or popple 6 -inch wide paneling in
the community room area, loft, and ceilings to add
warmth to the building.
5. Low -maintenance concrete floors throughout.
6. Handicapped -accessible year-round restrooms,
accessible when the community room/warming house
area is locked.
7. Cross-flow ventilation using openable windows and a
ceiling -mounted exhaust fan.
B. A two -zone gas-fired boiler heat system to provide
cooler temperatures in the community room/warming
house area when not in use.
9. A central woodburning stove such as used at the
state park building at Lake Maria State Park. The
woodstove could be utilized when the skating rink
attendant is on duty.
Simola noted that the cost to build this structure is
estimated at $70,000 included all site utility work and soil
investigation. Simola stated that it is staff's opinion that
the addition of this building to Bridge Park will enhance the
winter usage as well as summer usage at the park. Simola then
requested that the City order the preparation of plans and
specs from either TKDA or RCM. Both proposals are reasonably
priced and will result in a quality product.
Clint Herbst liked the design of the building; however, he
noted, that there is too much money in it. Just because the
money's in tho budget doesn't moan it should be spent. Ken
Maus asked if an activity or attendance log has boon taken for
that park. He was concerned that we're developing a warming
house for a park that may not got much use. Dan Bionigen
noted that he has a little bit of a problem with the proposal
as the warming house costa too much money for the area. Brad
Fylo stated that the Parks Board wont overboard on the design.
Herbst stated that the structure should be more practical and
less expensive. After discussion, it was the consensus of
Council that staff review the concept plans and look at
Council Minutes - 1127192
reducing the scope of the structure. The new design should
allow the structure to be enlarged at a later date.
Consideration of authorization of soils investiqation for new
Public works building.
John Simola recommended that the Council authorize staff to
conduct soil investigation performed in the area of the public
works building by Braun Intertech at an estimated cost of
$1,150. This investigation is necessary in order to properly
plan for public works building construction. The cost would
be higher if unstable soil conditions were encountered below
15 feet which is not expected as the maximum depth of the
gravel pit in the area was believed not to exceed 15 feet. At
the same time, Braun Intertech would perform the soil boring
for the Bridge Park warming house at the cost of $775 and
perform soil borings for School Boulevard project to be used
in development of the feasibility study at a cost of $500.
After discussion, a motion was made by Brad Fyfe and seconded
by Shirley Anderson to authorize soil Investigation to be
conducted by Braun Intertech at an estimated cost of $1,150 .
Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of ordering plans and specs for ballfiel d
lightlnq for two or four of the City's fields.
John Simola reported that participation in softball and
baseball at all levels has increased in recent years, and the
present ballf iold facilities are not sufficient to keep up
with the demand, and therefore it is being proposed that the
City consider lighting two or four of the City's ballfields ,
which would allow these fields to be available for more hours
and thus allow the City to avoid the expense of developing now
ballflelds. Simola went on to request that Council authorize
City staff, with OSM's assistance, to prepare and distribute
a request for proposal for Lighting two or four fields at the
City's balifield complex noar tho NSP Training Center. it is
estimated that the technical assistance from QSM to complete
the RFP would be in the area of $1,000. Proposals would be
ready for Council review on February 24, 1992. Members from
the Softball Association were present. It was noted that the
fields are in constant use. If all fields were lighted, Lt
would double the capacity of the NSP ballfield facility.
Clint Herbst noted that the school uses the fioids on occasion
and might be willing to stop in to help with paying for the
lights. Herbst noted that we should try to spread the cost to
othor jurisdictions that have citizens that use the
ballfioids. Brad Fyle concurred that we need to look at a
Council Minutes - 1/27/92
wide variety of sources to pay for the lighting. Dan Blonigen
stated that the school should be involved with financing of
lighting if their teams are using the fields. Ken Maus
observed that the school use may be very limited. The school
district may not wish to pay much to see that the fields are
lighted. Dan Blonigen also noted that we need user fees to
help finance installation of the lights. John Simola reminded
the Council that the City does receive $3,000 a year for
maintenance of the fields from the Softball Association, and
the association has agreed to pay for all electricity needed
to run the lights.
After discussion, the motion was made by Clint Herbst and
seconded by Shirley Anderson to authorize City staff to
prepare and distribute a request for proposal for lighting for
two or four fields at the City's ballfield complex near the
NSP Training Center at an estimated cost of $1,000 to complete
the RFP. Motion carried unanimously.
8. Consideration of a request to abate special assessment
penalties and interest on 82-2 Improvement Proiect--Ultra
Homes, Dickman Knutson.
Rick Wolfsteller outlined the circumstances leading to the
accumulation of $515,304 of interest and penalties against
Outlet C and D and other lots located in the Meadow Oaks
Subdivision. Wolfsteller noted that the owner of this
property, Dickman Knutson, has not paid any of the assessments
against this property. He went on to note that the City
Attorney is presently in the process of completing the
foreclosure documents as no payments have been made.
Wolfateller requested that the City Council consider abating
a portion of the delinquent taxes and assesaments as was done
with the delinquent taxes and assessments against the land
owned by Farm Credit. Woifatellor noted that our previous
settlement with Farm Credit Systems amounted to approximately
15 1/2 percent reduction.
Dan Blonigen stated that it was a mistake to assess this
undeveloped property in the first place as the assessment and
interest quickly exceeded the value of the land. It was Dan
Blonigen's view that the City should continue with the
foreclosure and not offer a 15 percent reduction in the
assessment amount. Rick wolfstellor was concerned that we
look at providing the same reduction to Knutson as was
provided to Farm Credit. It was his view that if we could got
Knutson to pay off his debt at a 15 percent reduction, the
City would be money ahead.

Council Minutes - 1/27/92
After discussion, a motion was made by Shirley Anderson and
seconded by Brad Fyle to agree to accept a reduction of
special assessments against all the land owned by Ultra Homes
equal to the penalties and interest that have accumulated
against the parcels, contingent upon Ultra Homes paying off
all remaining assessments balances within 30 days, along with
deeding to the City the remaining park dedication
requirements. The special assessment penalties and interest
reduction would total approximately 15 1/5 percent or
$106,141.
9. Consideration of bills for the month of January.
After discussion, a motion was made by Clint Herbst and
seconded by Dan Blonigen to approve payment of the bills as
submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
10. Other matters.
Shirley Anderson noted that she is aware of an interesting
program in another city whereby certain businesses that
maintain exceptional landscaping are given a plaque in
recognition of their efforts to beautify the city. Anderson
thought that the City should consider starting a similar
program.
There being no further business, meeting was adjourned.

City Council Agenda - 2/10/92
4. Consideration of revised concept plan for warminq house/
community buildinq/restrooms in west Bridoe Park. City of
Monticello. (J.S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
At the last meeting, City Council directed staff to go ahead
with the soil investigation for the proposed park building but
to reduce the cost of the building itself by removing some of
the amenities. The soil investigation itself went quite well.
Very little topsoil was found and is underlain by sand. The
surface materials were a little loose and will need some
compaction, but the underlying soils are quite dense. No
unusual foundation problems are expected to be found during
the building construction. It is possible a pocket of poorer
soil conditions exist in the area of the older park building,
but they do not appear to extend to the location of the new
building.
The new concept plan for the building is enclosed. The
following changes have been made.
1. The loft and gable and windows have been deleted.
2. The wood stove and chimney has been deleted.
3. The interior finishes on the exterior walls in the
restroom area have been deleted by extending the
burnished block to the ceiling. This makes the
restroom area more vandal resistant at lose cost.
4. Two exterior doors to the main area have been
deleted.
5. The heating system has been changed from a gas-
fired boiler system to forced air.
6. The windows have been changed in the main area to
economical sliding units.
7. The roof pitch has been lowered to lessen the
amount of materials.
The above changes aro expected to save in excess of $10,000 on
the building bringing the cost of the structure to
approximately $50,000. Architectural fees, along with sower
and water and electrical hookup are expected to cost about
$0,000 bringing the total cost of the building to $58,000, or
L $2,000 loss than the 1992 budget. The estimated construction
costa have boon verified by a local contractor. However, we
City Council Agenda - 2/10/92
must stipulate at this time, without a detailed set of formal
plans depicting more detail, the figures are only approximate.
The Park Board met on February 5, and looked at the new
concept of the building. The Park Board wishes to have the
roof pitch raised to give it some aesthetic appeal to public
eye as it's the last thing you see going out of town or it's
the first thing you see coming into town on Highway 25 to the
north. The Park Board felt that with a lower pitch roof it
would look more like a garage than a park building. In
addition, the Park Board felt that the building was to the
minimum size to fill the current and near future needs, and it
would be doubtful that any further significant cuts could be
made.
At the request of the Park Board, we discussed the possibility
of raising the roof back up with a local contractor to look at
costs. The contractor we spoke with indicated that the
additional cost to raise the roof back up would not be
significant; that Is, unless we started adding windows again
into the gable ends. Based upon this information, if we add
a couple more thousand dollars to the building cost to raise
the roof back up, we would be very near the budget figure.
The only way to tell is to have tho building designed and bid.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:F 4�d
�� 1sP 3 5/4-
1. The first alternative is to appro ��a the concept as
proposed with the low pitch roof and authorize staff to
C have TKDA proparo plans and specifications f�Zfurte D y \
review at a future council meeting. wiA
2. The socond alternative is to approve the concept as
proposed but with an A-framo typo of pitched roof and to
authorize city staff to work with TKDA to prepare plane
and specifications for review at a future council
meeting.
]. A third alternative would be to approve the concept plan
as proposed and to authorize staff to work with TKDA to
develop plane and specs with an altornato for a high-
pitched roof to be reviewed at a future council mooting.
City Council Agenda - 2/10/92
4. The fourth alternative would be to look at further cost
reductions to the building by reducing the quality or
durability of materials used or by down sizing the
building. This may not be in the best interests of the
City as long range maintenance costs could exceed the
initial costs of more durable construction.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is the recommendation of the Public Works Director and
Parks Superintendent that the City Council authorize the
project to proceed as outlined in Alternative i2 with the
higher pitched roof. Current estimated costs based upon this
scenario are approximately $50,000 to $52,000 for the building
and $8,000 for design, soil investigation, and utility hookups
bringing the total project to the 1992 budgeted amount of
$60,000.

City Council Agenda - 2/10/92
Consideration of adoptinq revised job evaluation results/
comparable study appeals. (R.W.)
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
When the City Council adopted the Comparable Worth Study
completed by the League of Minnesota Cities in December, 1991,
an appeals process was allowed whereby individual employees
were given the opportunity to request a review of their job
points. Eleven individuals in ten job classes requested a
review of their job evaluation results, which were reviewed by
their immediate supervisors and myself and then forwarded to
Sherri Le at the League of Minnesota Cities. Sherri Le,
Personnel Advisor for the League, was the primary consultant
who initially prepared our new Comparable Worth Study.
Enclosed with the agenda you will find a copy of Sherri Le's
response for each individual's appeal and her decision
regarding any point adjustments she felt were warranted. In
most cases, employees who appealed did receive additional
points, and two positions received points that would place
them in a higher grade level than originally proposed. Based
on Sherri's review, the Building and Zoning Inspector's
position is recommended to increase to Grade 10 and the
Water/Sower Collection Superintendent's position to Grade 12.
All other employees who received modifications to their point
values would remain in their initial grade, resulting in no
change in our pay structure.
With the appeals process now completed for all employees, the
recommendations of the League should now be considered by the
City Council for approval. It is assumed that since the
Council originally approved the Comparable Worth Plan and
allowed for the appeal process to occur, the recommendations
of the League personnel would also so be adopted. It IR
recommended that upon adoption, the two individuals who move
into now grades should be granted retroactive pay adjustments
to December 28, 1991, the effective date of the original plan
adoption.
For Gary Anderson, Building Inspector, the additional points
would place Gary in Grade 10 and would result in an hourly
Increase of 10 cents. For Matt Theisen, Water Superintendent,
movement into Grade 12 would result In a 22 cents an hour
j adjustment as of December 28, 1991.
While I'm euro that many of the employees who appealed their
original results may still be disappointed that they wore
unable to move Into a now grade, all individuals wore given an
opportunity to have their evaluations roviowod. Now that this
City Council Agenda - 2/10/92
process has been completed, the Council should authorize the
recommendations of the League to be adopted revising our
comparable worth results for 1992.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
/1 1. Accept the recommendations of the League of Minnesota
Cities' Sherri Le adjusting the point values for each of
the job classes as noted along with any pay adjustments
that result from this appeals process. ( Z -/,o
2. Do not adopt the recommendations of the consultant. with
the Council authorizing an appeals process, it would seem
unreasonable to now not accept the results of the appeals
process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
As I noted, all employees who appealed their job evaluation
results did receive a change in points assigned, with one
individual actually losing one point upon review, while no
process is perfect, and many employees are still unsatisfied
with the results, I believe the Council should adopt the
recommendations of Sherri Le. Since the consultant prepared
the original study, i assume the Council would want to accept
their recommendations on their review of particular positions.
Whilo the Council could certainly allow additional appeals to
be made on their original appeals, this process could go on
forever which may not be feasible. If particular positions
change responsibilities and job duties, the option is always
there in the future to again review a particular individual's
job class to see if additional points are warranted in the
future. A substantial change would have to occur to a
particular job before the job is again reevaluated.
Othorwiae, it is expected that all positions would be
reevaluated on a three to five year time frame in the future.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Accountabiliry for Actions
The information provided does not support a move from "moderate" to "major" influence
on budget and operations. This position reports directly to the Assistant City
Administrator and provides professional staff support to the IDC, HRA, and EDA.
Providing support and carrying out decisions of the IDC is not the same as being in the
decision making position. The Committees make the decisions, the EDD position does
research, makes recommendations, prepares agendas, takes minutes, and carries out
decision of the Committees. It is also my understanding that the Committee, not the
EDD, decides how funds will be spent.
The Economic Development budget is reviewed and approved by the Assistant City
Administrator. He also evaluates performance, oversees the work and provides direction
to this position.
The input the Economic Development Director has in these kinds of decisions is
important, and was considered in the award of moderate.
Decision: No Change.
Planning
Upon reconsideration, I agree that the length of planning could fall into the range of 6
months to one year. I don't necessarily agree with the reasons stated, but I do agree
with the conclusion.
Decision: Add 2 points to Planning (41)).
Working Conditions
The City Administrator appealed the point awards for some of the subfactors within this
factor. As anyone in the supervisory chain also had the right to appeal points, these
were reviewed.
Dust and Dirt
To be consistent with the other position that has similar exposure to Dust and Dirt
(.Assistant City Administrator), there is justification for the original award.
Decision: No change.
Extreme Heat and Cold
Considering the amount of time during a year when it is either extremely hot or cold and
the requirements of the position, the exposure isn't significant enough to qualify as rare.
1 agree with Rick.
Decision: Subtract I point from Working Conditions for Extreme Heat and Cold.
Rain, Snow, and Wind
As with Dust and Dirt, there is enough justification to retain the original award.
Decision: No change.
Machinery and Power Tools
I agree with Rick. No points should have been awarded.
Decision: Subtract 1 point from Working Conditions for Machinery and Power Tools.
Climbing and Heights
As I mentioned on some of the other appeals, this subfactor was intended to cover
climbing and heights considerably higher that what is required of this position.
Decision: Subtract 1 point from Working Conditions for Climbing and Heights.

Knowledge and Experience
I don't think it would be reasonable to increase the "minimum" qualification above a BA
and five years of professional experience. I really feel that the requirement listed is
sufficient, even with the diversity this position entails. In addition, I don't agree that
Assistant Administrators in larger communities typically deal only with a single facet of local
government. I am sure you could find examples of this but they would be the exception, not
the rule.
Decision: No Change.
Planning
I agree.
Decision: Add 3 points to Planning (6F).
Working Conditions
Heavy lifting
Sorry, volunteering to help move junk and to help move office furniture on occasion - even
once or twice a year - doesn't count. Your job does not require you to do heavy lifting.
Decision: No Change.
Dust and Dirt
1 agree; wasn't aware.
Decision: Add 1 point to Working Conditions for Dust and Dirt (781).
Extreme Heat and Cold
think this one is more questionable as I assume most construction doesn't occurs during
the warmer months. Most of the time, even in summer, it is not "extremely" hot. 1 don't
think this could ever occur enough to register on the than (in the relative sense).
Decision: No Change.
Rain, Snow, and Wind
1 agree. This is more likely to happen enough to register as rare.
Decision: Add 1 point to Working Conditions for Rain, Snow, and Wind (981).
Chemicals and Fumes
1 agree.
Decision: Add I point to Working Conditions for Chemicals and Fumes (1181).
Machinery and Power Tools
This factor covers use of, not exposure to, machinery and power tools.
Decision: No Change.

OFFICE MANAGER
Planning
I understand that some planning will extend out over a longer period of time. But most
planning, especially with your added office management responsibilities, would involve
weekly and monthly planning. "Most" planning is the key here, so 1.6 months is most
accurate.
Decision: No Change.
Working Conditions
Abnormal Hours
Occasionally working late because a deadline is going to be missed is not applicable here.
But, in this case, working evenings is also due to others not providing information to you on
time. It is also due to a decision by the City not to establish and enforce a strict time limit
on submitting materials, for one reason or another. As this is beyond your control, occurs
with some regularity, and is required of your position, 1 point could be awarded.
Decision: Add I point to Working Conditions for Abnormal Hours (3131).
Manipulating Objects Requiring Fine Coordination/Manual Dexterity
I agree.
Decision: Add 1 point to Working Conditions for Manipulating Objects (6E4).
Climbing and Heights
This factor is intended to cover climbing and heights that are considerably higher than a
normal 6 foot ladder.
Decision: No Change.
In response to your other comments, I agree that there are some unknowns with a
restructured position. 1 recommend this position be looked at again in one year to
determine whether the job evaluation points are accurate.
On the issue of minimum qualifications and knowledge required, 1 could foresee some
possible growth in this area. 1 don't think the number of years of experience would be
extended, but the type of experience might.
It is also possible, depending on how the position evolves, that it could require I.2 years of
college or completion of vo-tech training in the future.

1 don't think it would be reasonable to increase the minimum qualifications above two
i years of college and six years of experience. This positron is very diverse, but i do
believe that the requirements are sufficient. If the city were to hire for the position
today, candidates with greater than the minimum qualifications would certainly receive
high consideration. But I don't believe that higher level of knowledge and experience is
essential to successfully complete the job of public works director. Throughout

Decision: Add 4 points to Accountability for Actions (Blb).
Planning
This is a very commonly misunderstood factor. It is intended to address major planning.
For example, planning the direction of a department or major city projects, programs,
Finances, or a department budget, etc.
The other important aspect to remember is that a highly motivated individual may very
well make suggestions for changes that will improve the job. This is a performance
issue, not a requirement for the position. As much as 1 may want to reward an
individual who is highly motivated, performance factors must be separated out and not
considered in job evaluation.
The task force put together to look at office remodeling is a one-time task force, not a
regular part of the job, so cannot be considered in this process.
Most of the issues cited on page 3 under "Utility Billing" are examples of individual tasks
preformed in the job, not examples of planning done. Sticking to a schedule, prioritizing
work, assigning numbers to accounts, etc. are all required tasks. They are not examples
of the kind of planning intended to be addressed by this factor. The planning involved in
converting the utility billing system and the planning involved in the newsletter work was
given credit in the award of 2A.

Abnormal Human Behavior
I agree that points should be given for the large number of complaints received and

The majority of contacts with citizens are relatively friendly, whether the person is
concerned, unhappy, or complaining. Abnormal behavior does not include every possible
behavior that isn't cheerful and friendly.
Abnormal behavior was intended to cover for example, suspects resisting arrest or firing
a gun at an officer who is trying to arrest them; physical violence aimed at a social
worker who is trying to intervene in a domestic situation, etc.. Responding to complaints
on policy changes, bills, streets not plowed, and the like are minor compared to truly

Accountability for Actions
In response to your question, "Degree of Influence" on budget and operations has a relative
scale from minor to maximum. Normally the amount of influence is measured in terms of
influence on budget and operations. That is the case here.
The City Administrator would be the only position that has the level of influence equated
with the rating of maximum. That position clearly has considerable influence over budget
and city-wide operations.
A "true" department head is normally responsible for developing and adntinistering a
department budget and for overseeing all operations including establishing policies and
procedures and supervising staff. (1 should probably mention that this should not be
confused with those who attend the "department head" staff meeting, because that meeting
includes a number of positions that normally would not be considered department heads.)
Actual department heads (including the Assistant City Administrator) fall into the "major"
category.
A rating of "moderate" would fit positions that have input and responsibility for
recommending part of a department budget to their supervisor, and individuals who are
responsible for a very small department. These positions also typically have responsibility
for deciding some operational issues. That would fit your position.
Within this same factor, you had a question oil how 'direct" control was defined. "Direct"
control refers to positions that have ultimate control over the final results. 'This includes
positions below the City Administrator, but only to the highest supervisory level over a
department. If there is another level above a position thauapproves the more controversial
or important operational and budget decisions before the City Administrator, that higher
position really has the direct control. Both Rick and Je ff have ultimate authority over the
various duties covered by your position.
"Indirect" control refers to control that is inure spread out; where more than one mason is
involved in the heavier decisions. Complex budgetary and operational issues must be
approved by a higher level. 'Iltis doesn't mean that you, and others who are at a similar
level, don't have to make independent decisions. Everyone, at every level, must make day
to -day decisions that have relatively lesser impact. TYiat is assumed. -Ihis part of the
Accountability Factor deals with ultimate (bottom line) control. Jeff has this control over
computer issues and Rick over finance.
Decision: No Change.
Planning
'Ihe plartniug that you describe was taken into account in the original determination.
Normally, any position that has planning responsibilities has a range of planning both in
terms of complexity and time span covered. Considering that, I am comfortable with the
original award of 3c.
Decision: No Change.
Working Conditions
Heavy Lifting
1 wasn't aware of the requirement to move heavy computer equipment. If that is required,
I point could be awarded for this as "rare." In the relative scheme of frequency, this would
occur only rarely.
Decision: Add 1 point to Working Conditions for Heavy Lifting (1131).
Abnormal Hours
Working some extra hours on occasion is not what was meant by this factor. Having a
regular work schedule which requires working shifts other than days, either exclusively or
on a rotating basis is the intent.
Decision: No Change.
Electric Shock
1 would assume that you are required to unplug the computer before doing any adjustment
that could cause an electrical shock. While a computer technician may have some

BUILDING AND ZONING INSPECTOR
On the issue of your job title, it is quite common for official titles and working titles to be
different. I don't think the ordinances would have to be changed.
As this position reports to the Assistant City Administrator who has review authority over
many aspects of zoning and approves building and site plan reports, 1 think Building and
Zoning Inspector is the more descriptive title.
However, the title is a separate issue from the job evaluation point assignment. As such,
I will leave the determination of the job title up to the City Council.
Knowledge and Experience
I agree that 3-5 years of experience would be more appropriate in light of the amount of
the more complex inspections and plan review work. Note: The job description will need
to be revised to reflect this change if adopted by the Council. l would suggest four years as
a minimum requirement.
Decision: Add 10 points to Knowledge and Experience (0).
Planning
According to notes from your interview, 99% of this position's time is spent on building and
zoning and only one percent is spent on civil defense. The information justifying an increase
in the planning points addressed only civil defea sc work.
This factor measures the timeframe for "most" planning. As most planning involves building

City Council Agenda - 2/10/92
7. Consideration of adoptinq an ordinance amendment to Section
12-2 of the City of Monticello Zoninq Ordinance which would
allow a convenience store to operate as a permitted use in a
B-2 zone. Applicant, City of Monticello. (J.O.)
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
As you recall, a few months ago the City adopted a zoning
ordinance amendment that moved convenience store use from the
permitted use category in the B-1 zone to the conditional use
category. This change had the inadvertent effect of
eliminating convenience store as a permitted use in the B-2,
B-3, and B-4 zones. This occurred because in the B-2 zone
regulations, it states that all uses permitted in the B-1 zone
are also permitted in the B-2 zone. Therefore, when Council
took the previous action to remove convenience stores from the
list of permitted uses in the B-1 zone, the convenience store
use could no longer "roll into" the B-2, B-3, and B-4 zones.
Since it was not the Intent of the Planning Commission and
Council to eliminate convenience stores from operation in the
B-2, B-3, and B-4 zones, it appears to be just a housekeeping
matter to adopt an ordinance amendment which would allow
convenience stores to operate in the 0-2 zone. Once
identified as a permitted use in the B-2 zone, the convenience
store permitted use would then roll forward into the 8-3 and
B-4 zones.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Motion to adopt an amendment to Section 12-2 of the City
of Monticello Zoning Ordinance which would allow a
convenience store to operate as a permitted use in the
B-2 zone.
0 C1 Under this alternative, convenience store activity would
be allowed to occur In the 8-2 through B-4 zones as it
had been previously allowed prior to recent Zoning
Ordinance amendment that made convenience storos a
conditional use In the B-1 zone. This alternative would
appear to be the most reasonable because I do not believe
It was the Planning Commission or Council's intent to
eliminate convenience store use from the B-2 through B-4
zones. Planning Commission recommended this alternativo.
Motion to deny adoption of an amendment to the zoning
ordinance which would allow a convenience store to
operate as a permitted use in the B-2 zone.
l
City Council Agenda - 2/10/92
This alternative should be selected if for some reason
the City Council believes that it is not proper to have
a convenience store operating as a permitted use in the

reasons stated.

City Council Agenda - 2/10/92
Review of 1991 Liquor Store financial report. (R.W.)
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Enclosed with the agenda you will find a copy of the liquor
store financial report for 1991 comparing 1991 to 1990. Joe
Hartman, Liquor Store Manager, will be in attendance at Monday
night's meeting to review the report and along with myself,
will answer any questions you may have.
Generally speaking, the liquor store operations appear to be
very favorable in that total operating income for 1991 is up
over $18,000 or a 13% increase over 1990 income. When
including other income consisting primarily of interest income
on investments, the total liquor store revenues amounted to
$215,192. This is $26,000 higher than last year. For
determining how well the operation is doing, the Council
should focus on the operating income which represents a truer
picture of how the store 3s doing. While interest an
investments is considered income for the liquor store, these
surplus funds could be allocated or spent in the future for
City projects and have no bearing on the liquor store business
in general.
Gross profit from operations also has shown an increase in
1991 to $331,689 compared to $295,696 in 1990. Gross profit
margins are 23.498 of total sales which appear in line with
our expectations. The overall net operating income of 10.88
is also satisfactory and is meeting our goals.
Previously, Council members have also expressed concerns over
the advertising expenditures the liquor store has been
Incurring. For 1991, we had initially budgeted $4,500 for
advertising expense and we did exceed this amount considerably
with advertising expenses amounting to $7,542. While it
appears our salvo havo increased to a now high of $1,412,000
it is also hard to determine whether this 1s attributable to
our increased advertising cost or whether the sales would have
occurred without advertising. For 1992, we again budgeted
$4,500 for advertising and based on the Council's previous
concerns, Mr. Hartman will be reducing advertising
expenditures for 1992.
For reference purposes, in 1988 we spent $3,456 for
advertising, in 1989 - $4,606, in 1990 - $4,286. As you can
see, advertising expenditures have increasod substantially in
1991 and if the Council so desires, we can certainly cut back
our advertising expenditures. So far in 1992, Joe has boon
cutting back advertising in light of the Council's concerns.
The Council may wish to further discuss and provldo direction
on advertising Monday evening.
City Council Agenda - 2/10/92
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
After reviewing the financial report, the Council can
accept the report as presented. In addition, if the
Council would like to limit the advertising expenditures
for 1992, the Council could provide direction to Mr.
Hartman on an appropriate amount.
