Further discussion: Mayor Gamec indicated he has received several complaints regarding the dewatering on TH 47 in the area of Elmcrest Park. City Engineer Jankowski replied the dewatering will be completed within a couple of days. Case #14: Report from Personnel Committee 1) Consider Ending Probationary Period for a Paid On-Call Fire Fighter Acted on at the beginning of the meeting. 2) Consider Ending Probationary Period for Community Service Officer Councilmember Cook stated Chris Curtis was hired as a Community Service Officer on May 9, 2005. The recommendation of staff, Mr. Curtis' supervisor, and the Personnel Committee is that Mr. Curtis be retained as a full-time, regular Community Service Officer. 3) Consider Authorization to Begin the Recruitment Process for an Investigative Sergeant Councilmember Cook stated staff is requesting authorization to begin an internal recruitment process for the Investigative Sergeant position that is expected to be included in the 2006 budget. If the position is approved as part of the 2006 budget, the individual selected to fill this promotional position will be officially hired by City Council action after the 2006 budget is approved. If the position is not part of the 2006 budget, staff will terminate the recruitment process. The recommendation of staff and the Personnel Committee was to authorize staff to begin the recruitment process. 4) Consider Resolution Amending the Policy for Appointing Board and Commission Members Councilmember Cook explained the proposed resolution would amend the policy for appointing board and commission members so when an incumbent submits an application for reappointment, that application is considered along with applications from the general public. There were two motions made by the Personnel Committee. The first motion was to recommend that the City Council extend the term of commission and board members coming to the end of their term 60 days. The second motion was to move this discussion forward to a Council work session in December. Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to ratify the recommendation of the personnel Committee in Case Nos. 2 through 4 and to adopt Resolution #05-11-392 ending the probationary period for Chris Curtis and granting him status as a full- time, regular Community Service Officer effective November 9, 2005; adopt Resolution #05-11- 393 to grant authorization to begin the internal recruitment process for the Investigative Sergeant position; to extend the term of commission and board members coming to the end of their term 60 days; and to move the discussion of the policy for appointing board and commission members forward to a Council work session in December.
