. DATE: 9-28-95
TO: ST. JOSEPH CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ST. JOSEPH POLICE FEDERATION
RE: WAGE AND BENEFITS PROPOSAL FOR 1996
THE MEMBERS OF THE POLICE FEDERATION HAVE DISCUSSED IN
DETAIL THE ISSUE OF WAGES AND BENEFITS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED
THAT THESE REQUESTS ARE ON BEHALF OF THE POLICE OFFICERS AND
DO NOT APPLY TO OTHER EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF ST, JOSEPH.
WE RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING PROPOSALS FOR YOUR
CONSiDERATION:
WE ARE REQUESTING AN iNCREASE IN WAGES TO REFLECT THE
COST OF LIVING INDEX FOR 1994 WHICH WAS 4.2%. WE ALSO ASK
THAT AN ADDITIONAL 5% BE ADDED TO REFLECT THE COST OF LIViNG
ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED SINCE 1990. THE 9. 2?6
WAGE INCREASE WOULD ALSO BRiNG THE DEPARTMENT BACK iN LINE
WITH THE COMPARABLE WORTH AND COMPARISONS WITH OTHER CITY
POLICE DEPARTMENTS.
WE REQUEST A STEP INCREASE FOR OFFICER KLINEFELTER AND
. OFFICER GUSTIN.
BECAUSE THE COST OF UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT HAS STEADILY
INCREASED OVER THE YEARS, WE REQUEST AN INCREASE IN THE
UNIFORM ALLOWANCE TO $500 PER YEAR.
WE REQUEST AN INCREASE IN THE LONGEVITY BENEFiT. THE
PROPOSED PLAN WOULD GIVE MUCH MORE INCENTiVE FOR OFFICERS TO
CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT WITH THE CITY, THEREBY CUTTING THE COST
OF HIR!NG AND TRAINING NEW OFFICERS. THE PLAN WE PROPOSE IS
BASED ON THE 2080 HOUR WORK SCHEDULE. AFTER AN OFFICER'S 2ND
YEAR OF EMPLOYMENT THROUGH THE 5TH YEAR, 1% OF EARNINGS WOULD
BE EARNED. FROM THE 6TH YEAR THROUGH THE 10TH YEAR, 1-1/2?6
WOULD BE EARNED. FROM THE 11TH YEAR THROUGH THE 15TH YEAR,
2% WOULD BE EARNED. FROM THE 16TH YEAR THROUGH THE 20TH
YE..\R, 2-1/2% WOULD BE EARNED. AFTER 20 YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT
HAS BEEN ATTAINED, 3% WOULD BE EARNED.
WE REQUEST $300 PER YEAR PER OFFICER FOR THE PURPOSE OF
ACQUiRING MEMBERSHIP IN A HEALTH CLUB OR ACQUIRING HEALTH
RELAiED EQUIPMENT. THE DU¡!ES OF AN OFFICER ARE VERY
STRESSFUL ON ONE'S BODY, AND KEEPiNG PHYSiCALLY FiT SHOULD BE
.... P R lOR: TY . TriE CiTY OF ST, JOSEPH EMPLOYEE MA~0AL (PAGE 19)
ALSO STATES THAT EMPLOYMENT WITH THE CITY MAY BE CONTINGENT
ON PASSING A PHYSICAL EXAM. THERE MAY ALSO BE A~ ADDED
- SAViNGS TO THE CITY IN WORKMAN'S COMP AND HEALTH iNSURANCE
PREMIUMS DUE TO LESS LIKELIHOOD OF INJURIES.

Ms. Rachel Stapleton

City of Saint Joseph
21 NW 1st Avenue
P.O. Box 668
Saint Joseph, MN 56374-0668
Dear Rachel:
At Bud Reber's request, I examined the drainage problem that has developed on Lot 3, Block 3, Pond View
Ridge. The neighboring lots have been graded in such a way that matching into the lot Bud is building on
will be difficult, and no provision was made to drain the lots to the street. The lot to the south is high and
will have to be regraded to provide a reasonable match along the property line, and the lot to the north is
low so water will likely pond in the rear yards. It does appear, that in the event of a serious storm, the water
will work its way north across the rear yards to Baker Street without endangering the buildings. All of the
. lots have the necessary drainage easements, but the actual lot development was left up to the imagination
of the individual property owners and builders.
In the past we have not asked Developers to provide a detailed grading plan along with their preliminary
plat submittal. The subdivision regulations require that drainage and utility plans be submitted with the
preliminary plat, but this does not carry over to the individual lots. Though this is a time consuming
requirement for the Developer, more and more cities are requiring this kind of detail, and I think it is time
we added it to the St. Joseph Subdivision Ordinance. Specifically, I'd suggest changing the contents of
Subd. 3h, Supplementary Requirements, to reflect the need to submit a separate grading and erosion control
plan. There are a few other minor revisions that could also be made at that time.
Once we have a grading plan for the lots, then someone would have to check the final grading to be sure
it is in general conformance with the plan. This could be done by the building inspector as he checks the
house for conformance with the building code.
Please let me know your feelings on this matter. If you wish to proceed, let me know and I will prepare the
necessary changes. Thank you.
Sincerely,
- djg

and that portion of the existing 612 area code to the south, west and north of the metro calling

1995 Order from the following formal parties: the Department of Public Service, Bridge \\Tater

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE RATED APPLICATION
OVERVIEW
The application you are about to fill out is scored (rated) as if
it were a test. The application is in fact an assessment of job
related information you provide. Your abi 1 i ty to provide compl ete,
legible, and accurate information is very much a part of the rating
process. The score you receive on the application has a major
impact on your ability to continue in the process. Read the
directions carefully and follow them precisely. Failure to provide
accurate, truthful information may result in-the rejection of your
application or your dismissal if empl 0x..ed.
I. This is a two part application process. Both the rated
application and interview are scored.
a. The rated application is totally diff~rent from the
general employment application that the candidate also
received from the City of st. Joseph. However, both
need to be filled out completely.
· b. The background investigation information packet will be
sent to the selected candidates.
2. The candidate must complete the rated application
themselves. Do not allow other persons to fill out the
application on your behalf. If it is discovered that the
application has been or was completed by some person other
than the candidate, the application will be voided and the
candidate dropped from further consideration.
,if
,r
3. Write or print clearly. Use only black ink. Do not type.

or paper. Include the number of the question and maintain
the same format as found on the rated application.

TIme Period end Context: Summer, 1986, personal life.
Genl!ral statement of what you cco"""ll~hed: Apologized for çnd repaired some personal
property damage some friends and I had accidentally caused. In doing so I
made..friends with an elderly "shut in" and ma'ã-e her feel better about the
"younger gene~ation."
Oescrlptlon of exactly what you dId: Three friends and I were driving home at about 1: 00
a.m. during a thunderstorm. The driver lost control ~hile making a turn
and skidded intd someone's yard, knocked down some bushes and flowers, and
left deep tire" tracks in the lawn. I tried to convince my friends we
should notify the owners, explain what happened, and offer to repair or pay
for the damage, but they just wanted to forget it. The next morning I went
.er to the place by mýself. An elderly lady in her 70's came to the door.
first she seemed frightened, but after I explained what happened she
started yell.ing about how I and all the members of the "younger generation"
were nothing but "hoodlums" "hot rodders" and "dope addicts." Then she
threatened tò call the police and slammed the door in my face. I was
pretty upset and ready to give up, but I went to a nursery about two miles
away and got some flowers, sod, and dirt, and spent the rest of the morning
repair lng the damage. When I was almost finished, the elderly lady,
Mrs. Schumann, came out and apologized for what she had said earlier, and
asked if I could do her yard work on a regular basis.
"
Awards or formel recognitIon: None, but Hrs. Schumann IIsings my praises" to all her
friends, and several have called me to do odd jobs for them (yard work,
painting, electrical repair, etc.). I made a small income from this an the
side, but more than that I get satisfaction from helping others.
