COUNCIL BUSINESS Case #1: Report from Personnel Committee Personnel Coordinator McAloney reported that the Personnel Committee met on June 25, 1991 and reviewed and recommended approval of the position analysis for the City Administrator. The new organization chart for the City of Ramsey was reviewed. The minor changes made will be reviewed over the next few months. The Work Rules were reviewed by City Administrator and City Staff and the Committee recommended approval of them. Approval was recommended for the Personnel Policy after a minor amendment in the Education Policy. The Personnel Committee reviewed the memorandum by the City Administrator and agreed with Mr. Schroeder's suggestion to formalize an "Acting" Positions policy with an informational memo. This will be presented at an upcoming Committee meeting. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Mayor Gilbertson to approve the recommendations of the Personnel Committee accepting the position analysis for the City Administrator, the proposed Organizational Chart, the City of Ramsey Work Rules and the introduction of the Ordinance amending the Personnel Policy of the City Code. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Peterson, Beyer and Hardin. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Cich. Case #2: Small Business Administration Community Tree Planting Grant Application Bruce Bacon, Environmental Specialist, stated that the City has a small budget for tree planting. He has discovered there is a grant available that would enable the City to double the scale of its planting plan. The grant would cover the cost of the trees and tree spade work by a local landscaper. The City's matching contribution would be reflected in the time consumed for planting the trees and subsequent maintenance over a three year period. The grant money will be available late August which would enable the Council and Budget Committee enough time to review the budget to determine if there will be money available to match the grant funds. Motion by Mayor Gilbertson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve the submittal of the Small Business Administration Community Tree Planting Grant application and to have the Budget Committee review this issue to determine if there will be money available in the budget for the City's share of this grant. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Beyer, Hardin and Peterson. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Cich. City Council/July 9, 1991 Page 3 of 6
