FINANCIAL REPORT
MR. ROBERT VOTO AND MR. ROB TAUGES were present to discuss the 1982 year end
financial report. MR. VOTO explained how the national economic scene and the
State of Minnesota's budget crisis had affected the City of Stillwater. The
State had passed its financial problems on to other governmental units by reduced
State Aid and by rescheduling payments. MR. VOTO said the City of Stillwater
had made some good progress over the last five or six years but in light of the
State's actions is now faced with inadequate reserves to meet cash flow require-
ments. MR. VOTO strongly suggested that the City develop a plan of action to
build adequate reserves. MR. VOTO and MR. TAUGES concurred with the City's plan
to hire a Finance Director.
On motion of Councilman Kimble, seconded by Councilwoman Avise, the
Council authorized the advertisement for a Finance Director in as timely a
manner as possible. (all in favor)
AFSCME PROPOSAL
MR. KRIESEL asked the City Council to accept a salary proposal for 1984 by the
AFSCME bargaining unit.
On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilman Kimble, the Council
moved to accept the AFSCME proposal for 1984 of adding 4% or $65.00 per month
(whichever is greater) to each salary step. (all in favor)
LADY "D" WHARFAGE PERMIT
MR. KRIESEL informed the Council that Carr Griffith had contacted the Port Authority
and had requested that he did not need his original docking permit, and was not
going to use Legion Beach to dock his vessel. MR. GRIFFITH was requesting that
his permit fee be reduced from $600 to $100.
On motion of Councilwoman Avise, seconded by Councilman Kimble, the Council
reduced the Wharfage Permit fee for Carr Griffith to $100 and authorized a refund
of $500.00. (all in favor)
MUNICIPAL DOCK SEWAGE FEES
MR. KRIESEL Informed the Council that the Municipal Dock is hooked up to the City's
sewer system from about April to November of each year and suggested that the City
bill the Dock Company accordingly.
On motion of Councilwoman Bodlvick, seconded by Councilwoman Avise, the Council
set the sewer rates for the Municipal Dock at the minum sewer charge for the second
and third quarter of each year. (all in favor)
TEMPORARY HELP ( STREET DEPARTMENT)
MR. KRIESEL informed the Council that this would be the last week for the temporary
help that was hired to patch streets.
PART-TIME BUILDING INSPECTOR
MR. KRIESEL -equested that the City hire a part-time Building Inspector to replace
Jim Arend who had recently resigned. MR. KRIESEL said that although the activity
(number of permits issued) in June of 1983 was similar to the activity for the last
five years, he felt that some help was needed in the Building Inspection in view of
the new hospital addition. MR. KRIESEL was not quite convinced that a full-time
inspector was necessary at this time.
On motion of Councilman Kimble, seconded by Councilwoman Avise, the
Council authorized the hiring of Vernon Rylander at $10.00 per hour on a part-time
basis. (all in favor)
