City Council Minutes Page 6 <br />January 26, 2004 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />Councilmember Kuester stated that she felt the same way that, by having a public <br />information meeting, we could make a record of what was said. She felt that we owe it to <br />the citizens to have a meeting, not necessarily a public hearing, but a neighborhood meeting <br />to keep a record of what was wanted and what was said from the citizens. <br /> <br />It was stated that the County still hasn’t contacted the City Staff Review Committee. It was <br />stated that the Sheriff believes that there is no problem with the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Councilmember Motin once again inquired as to what is the burden on the County for a <br />CUP and would this indeed affect their bond? He felt that Council should require a quorum <br />of the County Commissioners to attend a neighborhood meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Klinzing will talk to the County Attorney and staff was directed to get information to <br />County Administrator Brian Benson that the City Council is considering action, but is in <br />need of additional information from the County as to what would be the adverse affect of <br />going through the CUP process. <br /> <br />7. Staff Updates <br /> <br /> <br />7.1The City Administrator explained that minutes from the Special Meeting of January <br />20 were not in the packet for approval and had only been distributed to the City <br />Council in draft form. He would like to distribute to staff at the following <br />morning’s meeting and asked for comments from Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Motin suggested changing in the phrase “feedback and evaluation <br />of staff” to “feedback and evaluation of personnel.” <br /> <br /> <br />7.2The City Administrator explained that he will not be at the February 9 meeting and <br />that Building Administrator Steve Rohlf will have a memo regarding the Building <br />Inspectors’ position. He wanted the Council to be aware that the top pay for <br />current inspectors is above what our pay classification calls for and that the Council <br />can hire at any amount they wish for the top pay. He noted that pay ranges might <br />change when the salary study results are presented later in the year. <br /> <br />8. Adjournment <br /> <br />There being no further business, Mayor Klinzing adjourned the meeting of the Elk River <br />City Council at 8:26 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />Joan Schmidt <br />City Clerk <br /> <br />
