. . . Elk River City Council Minutes June 1, 1992 Page 6 Councilmember Holmgren indicated that the City has requested administration costs for the clean up day and salaries at a one and one-half rate. He suggested that it was possible that the reason the City did not receive a large amount of grant money was because they pay the City employees to work at the clean up day. The City Administrator informed Councilmember Holmgren that City administration costs and employee wages were allowable under the formula presented by the County. Additionally, injuries to volunteers was a factor in the decision to use City employees. The City Council recessed at 8:10 p.m. and reconvened at 8:20 p.m. 8. City Administrator Update 8.1. Assessment Deferrals The City Administrator indicated that the City has received a request to extend the time limitation on senior citizen assessment deferrals. The current City Ordinance has a ten year time limitation on the deferrals and staff is recommending that the City stay with the ten year time frame but allow an extension of the assessment deferral if conditions have not changed. It was the consensus of the City Council to authorize City staff to draft an ordinance amendment to this affect. 8.2. Street/Park Summer Employees The City Administrator stated that the Street Superintendent is requesting Council permission to hire Amy Borst and Christopher Leeseburg. He stated that Phil Hals is requesting to increase Amy's last year's salary by $.35 per hour and to increase Chris' last year's salary by $.50 per hour. Councilmember Schuldt stated that he felt the increase for both salaries was a higher percentage than the full time City employees received and stated he would not be in favor of that high of an increase. COUNCILMEMBER KROPUENSKE MOVED TO AUTHORIZE THE HIRING $6.60 PER HOUR AND CHRISTOPHER LEESEBURG AT $6.00 PER TRALLE SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION FAILED 2-3. Holmgren, Schuldt and Dietz opposed.
