City Council Minutes Page 8 <br /> May 4,2015 <br /> Mr. Portner stated he felt selective enforcement is a concern, noting an idea to <br /> consider raising the fine and increase the snow emergency/plowing events via social <br /> media. <br /> The council agreed to modify the wording to notify residents of the equivalent of a <br /> snow emergency with wording to provide a clear trigger of when such an event <br /> would take place. The council had no other modifications. <br /> 10.4 Request by Pete Rohlf to Purchase City-Owned Land at 75-432-0101 <br /> Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report and provided additional handouts. The <br /> applicant was present at the meeting. Mr. Leeseberg explained the background and <br /> history of acquiring the property. <br /> It was the consensus of the council to have staff work with attorney Peter Beck and <br /> determine if the applicant may purchase the property without violating the terms of <br /> the deed. <br /> 10.3 Community Operations and Development Department <br /> Organizational Changes <br /> Mr. Portner presented the staff report. He provided organizational handouts <br /> outlining the current department structure and proposed changes. He proposed <br /> modifying the park planner/planner position and change its title to a senior planner <br /> position with the same pay grade, providing assistance to the parks department as <br /> needed. He proposed maintaining the planner I position, and adding back the <br /> planning manager in lieu of the deputy community operations and development <br /> director. He suggested an internal appointment or promotion for this position in the <br /> near future. <br /> Mr. Portner proposed that the economic development director report directly to the <br /> city administrator. He stated the senior administrative assistant,who holds an <br /> extremely large amount of history of the department,will be retiring in <br /> approximately 2 years and proposed adding a position to function as an efficiency <br /> manager, providing support between planning and economic development staff to <br /> facilitate with the retirement transition and future development growth. <br /> It was the consensus of the council to move forward with the proposed <br /> organizational changes and add to a near future consent agenda for approval. <br /> 11.
