COUNCIL BUSINESS Case #1: Report from the Personnel Committee Personnel Coordinator McAloney summarized the cases discussed and the recommendations made at the Personnel Committee meeting held on April 10th and continued on April 18th. They reviewed the performance appraisal Ms. Mary Gomez and recommended retaining her as a full- time regular employee effective April 24, 1991. The probationary review for the promotion to Recording Secretary for Jo Ann Thieling will end on May 9, 1991. As a condition of the promotion, Ms. Thieling was required to successfully complete a shorthand/speedwriting course, at her own expense, during her six-month probationary period. The classes were scheduled for the same nights as a number of meetings Ms. Thieling was scheduled to take minutes at; therefore, Staff recommended to the Personnel Committee, to which they agreed, that Ms. Thieling be tested by an instructor at Hennepin Technical College to determine if Ms. Thieling's minute taking skills are passing. She was tested on April 15, 1991 and returned with a statement from the instructor stating that her minute taking skills are indeed satisfactory and considers her "passing". The performance appraisal was reviewed on Kathy Johnson and approval recommended. The annual performance reviewed for Police Chief Michael Auspos was reviewed. It was stated that improvement could be made in the area of making the police department more a part of City Staff and that it is Mr. Auspos' responsibility to help promote it. The Personnel Committee recommended approval of Chief Auspos' performance review. City Staff was instructed to present the proposed position description for the City Administrator at the Council Workshop tentatively scheduled on June 1, 1991. The status of the Finance Office was discussed including the progress made in the last three months and also the significant projects that still need attention. Staff was directed to present the proposed organizational chart at the Council Workshop tentatively scheduled for June 1, 1991. The Education Policy was reviewed and the following revisions were made: the requirement of obtaining a "C or better" as successfully completing the course and that the appropriate Department Head must specifically approve the course prior to the course being taken. The revised policy was presented to City Council for reviewal. The Personnel Coordinator and the Finance Officer had been instructed previously to review the Personnel Coordinator's responsibilities and salary to identify if it should be placed in a different salary grade. Mrs. Helling and Ms. McAloney agreed that the position should be reviewed at the time all the other positions are reviewed according to the terms agreed upon with the AFSCME Bargaining Unit.
