City Attorney Goodrich stated that the Charter states the City should follow Chapter 429 requirements which is a minimum of 35 percent of the affected property owners. He stated the Charter could be amended; however, if it is not, the City cannot go with 50 percent. Councilmember Hardin stated that the recommendation does not reflect the Charter and the Charter should be the same. In that chapter of the Charter, street should be changed to project as defined. Councilmember Beyer stated that when a street project comes in, it is defined. Councilmember Hardin felt it should be clearly defined in the Charter. Councilmember Beyer stated this should have language stating it would be the entire subdivision. We did not have language to cover that. She added we can be more restrictive than State Statutes. Councilmember Hardin stated if the City requires the entire subdivision, we will not do very many projects. Mr. Schroeder stated that if the project boundary is brought to the Road and Bridge Committee, it would be a committee of the Council. He recommended sending them to the Road and Bridge Committee prior to getting the entire neighborhood all riled up. Councilmember Beyer felt it should be done on an entire subdivision. Councilmember Hardin felt that it would not work. Mayor Gilbertson reiterated dealing with it on a case-by-case basis. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Mayor Gilbertson to maintain the existing policy where the boundary is dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Further discussion: Councilmember Zimmerman felt this action would put "us right back where we started from". He felt Staff should have learned something. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Peterson and Hardin. Voting No: Couneilmembers Beyer and Zimmerman. Mr. Jankowski stated that the last issue the Road and Bridge Committee discussed was scheduling another meeting. That has been scheduled for Tuesday, December 13, 1994. Case #8: Report from Personnel Committee City Administrator Schroeder reported that the Personnel Committee met earlier this evening. One of the items for discussion was fire changes of three employees. They are as follows: Change Kathy Johnson's title from Receptionist/Network Support to Secretary; change Linda Aaseby's title from Data Entry to Police Technician; and change Arlene Stafford's rifle from Department Secretary to Police Department Records Manager. None of these proposed changes would result in any enhancement of tire or tasks but is basically more reflective of the duties/job description. There may be some job description changes but it is intended that this change does not mean an increase in pay or job value. The Personnel Committee recommended the rifle changes.
