City Council Minutes <br />October 21, 2024 <br />10.2 Northbound Liquor Store Clerk Position <br />Page 4of5 <br />The Council asked about the current mix of part-time and full-time employees at Northbound Liquor. <br />Ms. Knopik stated that there are three full-time employees and nine part-time employees. She added <br />that it is a challenge to schedule part-time employees and would like to have one additional full-time <br />employee. Adding a full-time employee would reduce the number of hours needed to be filled by part- <br />time employees. <br />Mr. Audette stated that the request was for Northbound Liquor. Westbound Liquor said they did not <br />need additional staff. <br />The Council asked Mr. Audette to research the financial impact of adding a full-time employee and give <br />the information to Mr. Portner. <br />10.3 Council Chambers Security Measures <br />Mr. Portner asked the Council for direction on council chamber security measures. <br />Councilmember Wagner stated she was concerned with her location in the council chambers being so <br />far from an exit. She also stated she feels more comfortable when there is an officer present. She stated <br />she didn't really want to sit behind bulletproof plexiglass. <br />Mayor Dietz asked Mr. Portner if he could check with other cities on their security measures. He asked <br />if any other cities have police officers at their meetings. <br />11.
