City Council Minutes Page 5 <br /> June 4,2018 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Councilmember Olsen asked how many full-time and part-time employees the liquor <br /> store employs. There are currently 6 full-time employees and 20 part-time employees. <br /> Ms. Ziemer clarified there would be negligible financial change for the 2018 budget <br /> but the cost of benefits would factor in 2019. <br /> Moved by Councilmember Olsen and seconded by Councilmember <br /> Westgaard to hire an additional full-time liquor clerk to be utilized by <br /> Northbound and Westbound liquor stores. Motion carried 4-1. <br /> Councilmember Wagner opposed. <br /> 8.2 Discuss Work Session Items <br /> Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br /> Councilmember Olsen requested the Council prioritize the list of work session items. <br /> Councilmember Wagner wished to add she asked City Engineer Justin Femrite about <br /> the process to lower the speed limit on County Road 12. Since the area is in <br /> development due to the addition of roundabouts,it may be a good time to work with <br /> Sherburne County to conduct a speed study. <br /> Councilmember Olsen expressed concerns with the current speed limit on County <br /> Road 30. <br /> Councilmember Wagner also wished to look into alternative funding for trail <br /> projects. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard felt the Park and Recreation Commission should be <br /> providing this type of information to the Council. He also wanted to caution the <br /> Council about providing staff direction on individual projects versus Council-led <br /> initiatives. <br /> Mayor Dietz said a speed study is typically completed by MnDOT and said the <br /> Council should be prepared they may not like the results as sometimes speeds are <br /> increased based on driver behavior. <br /> Councilmember Wagner clarified she brought the concern because it was part of her <br /> ward and she felt it should be addressed. <br /> Mr. Portner asked if Mr. Femrite could develop written materials to outline the <br /> process of determining speed limits. <br /> The Council also asked for information on what authority the council has on <br /> determining and changing speed limits. <br /> UREJ <br />
