~ P~r~onnel Committee Report: <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that the Personnel Committee has been interviewing <br />applicants for the position of Building Inspector and is recommending that an <br />offer for employment be offered to Mr. Alvin Erickson. The Personnel Committee <br />is requesting Council approval to negotiate a salary with Mr. Erickson that <br />will not exceed the salary limit quoted in the labor contract, which is <br />$27,888. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that he will not vote favorably to offer employment to <br />anyone without having the opportunity to review the applicant's resume. <br />Councilmember Cox referred to the subject of starting salaries and stated that <br />new officers have been hired in Ramsey starting at $26,000/year and he has <br />talked to an officer of another community that reached the $26,000/year salary <br />level after 20 years of service. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox directing that the resumes of the final candidates <br />for the position of Building Inspector be made available to councilmembers for <br />review. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember Cox stated that he would also like the <br />opportunity to meet with the recommended applicant. Councilmember Reimann <br />stated that Councilmember Cox has supported the recommendations of the <br />Personnel Committee in the past and should do so at this time also. <br />Councilmember Reimann stated that he and Councilmember Sorteberg feel <br />comfortable with their recommendation; an offer for employment should be <br />extended if a salary can be negotiated that meets with the Personnel <br />Committee's satisfaction. Councilmember Cox stated that the Personnel <br />Committee was comfortable with a previous applicant recommendation but he knew <br />things about that individual that he feels are not desirable in a Ramsey <br />employee. <br /> <br />Mayor Heitman seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Mayor Heitman stated that he concurs that as a minimum, <br />Council should have the opportunity to review resumes of final candidates and <br />meet the applicant selected. Mayor Heitman stated that getting a full-time <br />building inspector on board is a high priority item and suggested that Council <br />meet with the selected applicant as soon as possible -- Thursday, May 29 at <br />7:00 p.m. Mr. Hartley inquired if Council contact with a selected applicant <br />for employment will be a continuing policy of Council's. Mayor Heitman replied <br />that when filling positions for upper level management, he would like to be <br />involved in the entire process; for lower levels, he would like Council to be <br />involved in the interview of final candidates recommended by the Personnel <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Heitman, Councilmembers Sorteberg, Cox, <br />Reimann and Schlueter. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #7: Approve Plans And Specifications And Set Bid Date For Flintwood <br /> Hills Third Addition: <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Reimann and seconded by Councilmember Cox to adopt <br /> May 27, 1986 <br /> <br />Page 10 of 18 <br /> <br /> <br />
