OF AGENDA <br /> <br />Mayor Reitman stated that the only item on this special agenda will be a <br />discussion of Mr. Wirz' request for back pay for a 15% salary increase for <br />that period of time in which he assumed the responsibilities of the Building <br />Department in addition to his normal assessing duties. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Heitman and Councilmember Sorteberg. <br />Voting No: Councilmember Cox. Absent: Councilmembers Reimann and Schlueter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that he had plans to go out of town, which he <br />postponed; that he does not feel that this case merits the calling of a <br />special Council meeting; and he is not supportive of taking any action on the <br />case at this time. Councilmember Cox also noted that it is difficult for him <br />to attend a Council meeting prior to 6:00 p.m. because of his private business <br />committment; that should be taken into consideration just as much as the <br />Mayor's request not to schedule Council meetings prior to 5:30 p.m. to better <br />accomodate his private employment schedule. With respect to Mr. Wirz' issue, <br />Council was, at one time, agreeable to the 15% salary increase but the labor <br />union caused problems. More time should be spent addressing community concerns <br />rather than substantiating employee salaries. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox reiterated that he does not support this special Council <br />meeting and dismissed himself from Council chambers at 5:33 p.m. <br /> <br />Councilmember Schlueter arrived at 5:33 p.m. <br /> <br />Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
