Regular Council Page 3 December 11, 1978 9) That proper planning requires that a frontage road be built prior to construction of any homes on the subject property so that the homes can be constructed in the most appropriate sites in relation to the frontage road and the applicant has refused to meet with the City Engineer in order to develop an agreeable plan for a frontage road to alleviate the City's access conceit. 10) That the Council has reviewed the County Engineers letter dated November 16, 1978 which letter is incorporated herein by reference. That the Council understands the County Engineers statements, but finds that the welfare of its citizens overrides his recommendation. Also, because a subdivision has not been permitted, the building inspector is instructed to not issue any permits on said parcel and the Council's action of November 27, 1978 wherein Mr. Holker was advised to remove the moved in building from the premises is reaffirmed. Motion carried. Voting yes Councilman Gamec, Councilman Reimann, Council- man Muller and Mayor Cox. Voting no Councilman Mickelson. Councilman Mickelson stated he wanted to have the Attorney General's opinion before making a decision. He also agrees with the findings of fact but doesn't feel the City should bear the burden if this is a State Statute. Councilman Gamec stated that if we give in to him now we would have to give in to all who come in with similar requests. Councilman Mickelson stated he doesn't like this situation at all. Attorney Goodrich stated the City can't afford to let Mr. Holker snub us. Mayor Cox said the City is backed into a wall and haven't any choice. Councilman Gamec stated we're doomed either way. Attorney Goodrich felt he could get the Metropolitan Council involved. Councilman Gamec felt this decision cOUld affect all of us. SALARY SCHEDULE FOR STAFF PERSONNEL The Personnel Committee presented to the Council a schedule the City staff persmmel could follow for pay raises and starting salaries. It was the general feeling of Councilman Gamec that we shouldn't have, a schedule as the City has such a small staff. A general discussion of salaries for the City Staff personnel followed. Motion by Councilman Gamec and seconded by Councilman Mickelson to approve the salaries recorded in the 1979 City Budget for the present employees, and not necessarily the same for new hires and job changes of present employees, also new hires would be negotiable and the cut in salaries. A general discussion followed on the salaries for the staff in 1979.
