Ms. Andersonfeels the obstruction in her sewer service was in the main line and does not feel responsibIel for the expense incurred. I . The mainsewel' line that feeds the property in question also feeds the entire east section of the City. If the 'main had in deed been obstructed, the City would have received complaints I from other residents. In trying to resolve this matter, I contacted the company Ms. Anderson hired¡to clear the obstruction. He stated thatinhis opinion the obstruction was caused by tree ~oots in the service line. The gentleman also indicated that tampons were removed be he felt they could have been hooked on the tree roots when he reached the main line. The City has a policy whereby the property owner is responsible for the private service line. Therefore!, it is my recommendation to deny the claim of Ms. Anderson based on City Policy. I hav.e ~ttached a letter that could be mailed if the, Council supports the denial.

Others', resent: Police Chief~rad Lindgren, Sergeant Jeff Young, Office Jean Gustin, Officer Brad Meyer, rladys Schneider, Dohald Schneider, Ross Rieke, John Kierzek, Martha Kierzek Mayor ¥iemenz opened the n1eeting and stated the purpose of the meeting is to discuss the staffing needs of the S~. J osephPolice Department. Hieme~. also presented the Council with letters of SUPP?rt fro.m Steuve' Garage, CIoverdale Townhouse AddItlOn,CMS Autobody, and Mrs. Wood. InaddItlOn, the Mayor' resented the Council }vith a petition signed by approximately 108 people. The petition read as follows "We the undersigned,¡ residents, business's or citizens who work in the St. Joseph community. We want it to be known t~at we are not in support of the St. Joseph City Council's decision on August 5, 1999 to look at red¡JCing the St. Joseph Police Departments staff by 1 full time officer. (Current staffing is a~ 6 full time officers, and no part time officers, andhas been so for many years). I Further, with St. Joseph being part of the St. Cloud Metropolitan community and all of the growth relatedissuesto our own growth of our city in residents, houses, business's, students, and . traffic we question th~ wisdom and r motives behind such a move. " , Loso.,st ted it is his opinion that residents misunderstood the intent o.fthe City Council. 'It is not the intent of the City Council to r~duce the police force in St. Joseph, rather to. make sure the Council was filing tt vacancies in the mokprudent manner. Before a decision could be made as to the nµmhet of officers to hire or the status of their employment, the Council requested a report from the Police Chief detailin what affect the Secretary will have o.n the workflow in the office. In a prior meeting the Police Chief s~ated that hiring a pOlige secretary would allow the Officers to. be on the street rather than in the office rwenng phones and~ompleringpaperwork. Therefore, theguesrion of the Councll was could the sixt officer position be best utilized by hiring part time officers. 1 Twit co.ncurred with Loso and. stated that it was never the intent of the Co.unciI not to hire a second Officerfe.. Councll .had. oru~ authomed. the hmng of one officer and a policesecre~. · To fill. the sixth positio would requireactioulby the City Council. At the August 5, 1999 City Council meeting the City Counci requested the Police Çhiefto submit a report to the Council discussing the impact o.fhiring a secretat· and the affect this pOsition would have on police scheduling. Police· I hiefLindgren stated ~hat after the July 8, 1999 Council meeting he was of the understanding that the cid would maintain a police staff of six officers ,and one secretary. Further, at that same meeting the cotCil had not yet recei~ed the resignation, o.f Officer Dahl, but they were made aware that a seco.nd officer I. ouldbe leaTIng. Lmdgren staœdthat If the Councll does notMshoo hrre a s~th officer the service. of the department could be compromised and the department may not longer be able to. provide various community programs~ In Lindgren's opinion the Council would be selling the residents ofSt. Joseph ¡sho.rt if the sixth officer position were left vacant. "While the Steams Co.unty Sheriffs Department . provides backup to St. JosepH, the response times is sometimes less than desirable. , Glady~ Schneider of 118 - 31 Avenue SE stated that it was her o.pinionafter watching the Co.unciI meeting of August 5, \999 th~ Co.uncil was not suppo.rtive of the Police Department. Schneider also '~ ' i i..;: , stated that people in St. Joseph desire more police, not less and encouraged the Council to fill the sixth . officer position with a full time officer. Martha Kierzek of 409 College Avenue North questioned the Council if they are looking at saving money or lives? Twit clarified that the newspaper story did not accurately portray the decision of the Council. As of August 5 the Council had only authorized the hiring of one officer and one secretary. Further, when the Council authorized the hiring, a second officer had not yet resigned. Ehlert stated that he did not oppose the hiring of a sixth officer, rather the Council had some unanswered questions and were awaiting information from the Mayor. Ehlert stated the Council was looking for information from the Police Chief as to how part time officers would accommodate the schedule and whether or not it would be effective to hire officers on a part time basis. Niedenfuer concurred with Councilors and stated that she too did not say the Council would not hire a sixth officer, rather there were some unanswered questions. Niedenfuer stated that while some of the public thought the Council was not being supportive, in her opinion the Council was doing their job. Twit stated that the Council is supportive of the Police Department. The Council authorized the hiring of a police secretary and the use of part time officers to help cover shifts. The question that arose is would the department have more scheduling flexibility if two part time officers were hired rather than hiring a sixth full time officer. Lindgren stated that while two officers are scheduled during the day there are many times that he is either giving talks or handling administrative paperwork. Lindgren stated that part time officers could work if the City were able to find officers who were dedicated to part time work. Sometimes the part time officers are more of a liability and the City would spend more money in training. . Niedenfuer made a motion to authorize the hiring of a sixth officer to replace Officer Dahl who resigned from the Department. The motion was seconded by Ehlert. Discussion: Upon continued discussion of why officers are leaving the department, ,Chief Lindgren responded that he has been give three common reasons for leaving: 1) Facilities; 2) Equipment; 3) City Council. Ehlert responded that it is the responsibility of the City Council to befiscally responsible. When the Council asks questions it is not an indication of lack of support, rather clarification. Further, Ehlert stated that residents expect the Council to justifY the expenses and if questions are not asked, Councilors cannot provide accurate answers to the residents. Lindgren stated that the department is not asking to increase the department, but to keep the status quo. Lindgren further stated the petition submitted is an indication of what the resident's desire. If the s taff of the department is reduced some of the proactive police will not be able to continue. Sergeant Young stated that if the City were to hire part time officers they would become members of the St. Joseph Police Officers Federation. Hiemenz stated it is his understanding that officers are lookingfor stability. Further, Hiemenz stated it is his opinion that the City Council cannot continue to micro manage the Police Department and the Council should listen as to what is being said. Ayes: Hiemenz, Twit, Loso, Niedenfuer, Ehlert. Nays: None. Motion Carried 5:0:0 . \1. .~ " · , Loso requested the Council scþeduIe a special meeting with the City Attorney to discuss the police depa~ent operations. Hie~enz stated that he contactthe City Attorney and report back to the City councIl. , i Twit e~Phasized the importa~ce of the Police Department recognizing that the City Council is not scrutini' ing the Police Department and looks forward to a good working relationship with the Depa~ent. Twit concurred ~ith Ehlert and stated that the Council needs to ask questions for clarificrion and those questiTs are not an indication oflack of support rather Council responsibility. Ross Rieke of 41 - 5th A venu1 NW discussed the importance of establishing cOtnn1unication between the CityCo~ciI and Police DepaJ¡tment. Rieke stated that when he was a member of the Council he took the time to bde with the officers it1 the evening help understand the duties of a police ,officer. Rieke encouraged the Council to do Fhe same and ride with the officers. Authorlation to accept reco~mendations of Police Hiring: Committee: Ehlert stated the Police Hiring Commifee has interviewed c~ndidates for the position of Patrol Officer and has established a list of three qUalifie~andjdates Lmd~ reported iliat he is m ilie process of completing ilie liackgroMd checks on the top 0 candidates. If the packground checks are satisfactory the candidates will be required to comple e psychological and physical testing.

Cloud. The, concept of a ring road surrounding the S1. Cloud metro area :will need to be analyzed in concert with the St. Cloud Area Joint Planning Districts land us9plan. The Minneso~a Department of Transportation-District 3, will need to expand its. facilities in the S1.

If !!ley <lidn' t it· s be cause of fear of repnrcussions fro the chief.

Als~.!!le cbief instigate<j !!le petition an<l !!le article in !!le paper! I couldn't believe how you all cover for eaqh other! I sure find it frustrating and amusing watching the city co~cil meetings. Noboqy questions him, do they?

The gO~cl news is that our e~peru;es beyond the state's grant are quite minimal. I am estimating that th1 District's total sh04d not excee<l $10,000 In addition, each member s~ould be prepared for a worst case scenario which would involve the Distric~is failure to agree on[aplan or the state's refusal to accept it. Under this scenario, .each member would be obligate~tocover a portion of the state grant's final payment of$60,000.

Council Fr1m: CariSchmidt, 91erk-Administrator Da ,e: 09/02/99 : I Re: City Manager Ballot Question At reque& of the Mayor, I <lid some research on the steps reqllired ro change W a C¡ry M . ager form of goverrlment. 1 He indicated that this was a discussion point at one time on the Council and wanted to bring the option up once again. The ballot questions must be suBmitted by Septembe~ 14th, thus making this meeting our only opportunity to discuss the issIe. I apologize for not having this information in the packet earlier. This·issue only came ihi k ' . up r s wee.' ¡ A £r may initiate a P'1'posaI in one of two ways. The ConnciI may, upon its own motion, su mit an. optional plan: for voter consideration. Alternatively, the voters may require the Co cil to submit the question at an election by presenting a written petition with signatures frorri a number of voters! equal to at least 15 percent of the total number of people voting in the last City election. . I ürtinarilY, the Council has discretion to determine whether the optional plan should go to the vo ers at the election. When submitting the optional plan to the voters, the question on the ballot must follow substrtially this format: "Xhall Optional Plan 13, providing for the Council-Manager form of City government, ,be ared for theg~~rt ofth4 Çiry?" ¡ '1ere are basically four typ~s of cities in Minnesota: standard plan statutory cities, Plan A statutory cities, Plan B ~tatutory Cities and home rule charter cities. We ,are currently a Plan A statutory city which consists of an eleptedmayor and four (sometimes six) elected council members.. The clerk and treasurer are appointed offices iillf neither is a member ofle City Council. ª billo! que,rion would cbange tho city to a Plan B'tam!oty oity: The Plan Boity Couucil oon,;,¡, of an el cted mayor and four (som~times six) council members. The City Council retains its legislative power, but . ap oints a manager who is rJsponsible for overseeing City staff and making hiring decisions. The Plan B fonn of go emment is often referredito as the "Council.Manager" plan. . age 1 I I I I ~ . . . . , · Pas age requires a majotity vote on this question. Once the optional plan goes into effect, the Cidr may not change it (or three years. If a majority of the votes are negative, the optional Pli proposalJails and 1 City continues to operate under its existing form of govemmeu£ ~en a City adopts Plaq. B, it goes into effect as soon as the voters adopt it, but it does not becpme fully operative until. the Council ' appoints and qualifies the first City manager. The Council must make this ~ppointment as soon as practicable after the voters adopt the plan. wJat is a CityManage~? Thl City Mariager is a p,lofessioual positiou found iu Plan B Statutory cities and some home ruli charter cities. The C¡:ity manager answers to the City Council in much the same way as a chiluf executive officer (CEO) answers to a board ,of directors in a company. State statute de rnes 1he duties of a Ci¡Y Manager in Plan B cities: .... .... . Ensure Enfor¡cement of statutes, ordinances and resolutions; · Appoint and.'remove city staff and control city departments; (This included the positions of cityiclerk, department heads, and subordinate officers and employees. If there· are civil s~rvice rules or a labor agreement. in place, any applicable provisions must be followed. The appointment and removal ofthe City Attorney is subject to the approval of the City Council. This is the primary difference between a City Manager and City Admini~trator.) · · Attend all co~ncil meetings; · Recommend :needed ordinances and resolutions; ! · Advise Coun~il as to city fmances and prepare budget; i 1 · Act as chief purchasing agent for some contracts (All purchases and contracts that do not exceed $15,000 are made or let by the Manager unless the Council has set a lower limit. Ail claims resulting trom these purchases and contracts must still be audited and approved by the Council as in other statutory cities. All other purchases and contracts c.~ be made by the Council only after the recommendation of the manager has first been obtained. All contracts, bonds, and other instruments to which the City is apa$- must be signed by both the Mayor and the manager on behalf of the City;) I i · Prepare adm,inistrative code if council requests it; · Perform an~ additional duties required by statute or the Council. · Removal of City Manager; The City manager may be removed by the Council at any time; However, if the manager has served one year or longer, the manager may demand writtert charges and a public hearing on the charges and a public hearing on · the charges be~ore the final removal date takes effect.
