12 the problem with the limbs and wondered if there was any way of restitution for removing for the trimmers.

21
22 Councilmember McBride asked if one sweep could be made and get all the limbs cleaned up and Mr. Willis

3 Speaking for Ordinance No.36-1988 was Ms.Janet McFarland, Rose View Transit Manager. Ms. McFarland
4 informed the Council that she was requesting the position of mechanic for Rose View be upgraded in pay in
5 order that a certified mechanic could be hired. She said the equipment is now more sophisticated and they
6 are being forced to contract out repairs. She added that the 2,000.00 increase i n pay would be saved in
7 contractual repairs and the mechanic would also assist other departments on an emergency basis.
8
9 Councilmember McBride asked if they had the equipment necessary for the certified mechanic and Ms.
10 McFarland indicated they did,they only needed the personnel.
11
12 Mayor Waltermann addressed the Council regarding the position of Public Transit Manager/Grants
13 Administrator and that he would like to try allowing the same persons to do both jobs for a period of time. He
14 said the additional funds for the position would come from administrative fees from grants and they were
15 combining the jobs to be fiscally responsible and to also insure responsibility for all grants administration in
16 order there be no audit findings.
17
18 Councilmember Paust asked how long it would take to do the grants administration and Mayor Waltermann
19 said they felt initially it could be done in twenty hours per week.
20
21 Councilmember Paust asked how this would affect the operations of the transit system and Mayor
22 Waltermann explained that the transit system was at peak load and was a very well operated system. He said
23 that they would be able to operate both as a part time job. The Mayor added that Ms. McFarland has an
24 excellent assistant at the transit system.
25
26 Councilmember Paust expressed his concerns that the system might go downhill by pulling some of the time
27 of the manager away and requested that a close eye be kept on this situation.
28
29 Mayor Waltermann stated the situation would be closely monitored and that Ms. McFarland would retain her
30 office at the Street Garage for both duties.
31
32 President Morris commented that in the future she would like to see salary changes presented in separate
33 ordinances rather than in one ordinance.
34
35 Speaking for the position of Energy/Special Projects Planner was Mr. Dan Dooley. Mr. Dooley spoke of the
36 REMP program and the ECFAB project where over 50 furnaces have been installed in homes of low income
37 persons. He told the Council this is a very important grant with no administrative fees allowed. Mr. Dooley also
38 explained the position would be used to assist with special projects such as the Mainstreet grant and there
39 would be some administrative funds available in those types of projects to assist in the funding of the
40 position. Mr. Dooley said that Ms. Lynn Johnstone would be assuming the position and she has been doing
41 all the energy projects and special projects for many years. This ordinance is formalizing the position and
42 allowing Ms. Johnstone to continue her work on other energy related programs where possible additional
43 funds can be found.
44
45 City Controller, Marge Sweet explained that the Human Rights Director position was only housekeeping.
46 That the Council had appropriated the funds, but had not added the position to the salary ordinance.
47
48 Mayor Waltermann commented on the Energy/Special Projects Planner position and that Ms. Johnstone is
49 currently working on a resource recovery program that will probably be mandated by the State in the near
50 future.
51
52 Councilmember Elstro asked that future salary ordinances reflect what portion of funds would be from grants
53 for salaries.
54
55 President Morris expressed her concerns about Ms. McFarland doing both jobs and being overworked.
56
57 Ms. Margaret Woodward, President of League of Women Voters, spoke about combining jobs and why an
58 employee able to do a job in twenty hours would have an assistant. She suggested that maybe the grants
59 administration job could come under Ms.Johnstone. Ms.Woodward also asked if these positions had been
60 advertised.
61
62 Ms. D.Sue Roberson, Director of Administrative Services,explained that all positions are advertised in house
63 first and four or five working days are allowed for applications. If no suitable applicants are available, the
64 positions are them advertised through the media. Ms. Roberson stressed that employees working for the
65 City are always given first opportunity to upgrade themselves.

57 since he did not approve of employees being pushed around by changing classifications.
