c. Police Pension Legislation
Legislation presently under consideration at the Legislative
Session by the Legislative Commission on Pensions and
Retirements was brought to the attention of the Council by
Police Captain Olson.
The change to the legislation being considered was minor, that
being, changing the word "shall" to "may." This change was
being requested as it was felt the employee's contribution to
their pension should be a negotiated issue.
The City Manager advised that the legislation has been passed
by the Senate and is presently on the General Orders of the
House of Representatives. He noted that if there are any
changes to the version presently before the House, the bill
would be sent back to a conference committee and then returned
to both bodies.
Some members of the Council felt that more time should have
been allowed for Council review. Councilmember Nawrocki stated
he was not supportive of the change.
The City Attorney was requested to draft a motion which
addressed this issue and present it later in the meeting.

OLD BUSINESS
a. Review of the Volunteer Coordinator Concept
The City Manager reviewed the history and concept of this
position. Councilmember Nawrocki stated that originally
he had been supportive of this position for a two year
trial period, but with the budget problems facing the
City he is no longer supportive.
Motion by Nawrocki to drop the position of Volunteer
Coordinator from the budget at the present time. Motion
dies for lack of a second.
Councilmember Nawrocki stated he feels it is regrettable
that the City Council is not choosing to look further at
this position in light of all of the comments received
regarding eliminating the position. He stated his support
for adding another police officer position.
Councilmember Clerkin inquired if there were funding
available for this position. The City Manager replied
that some of the people who have applied for the position
appear to be grant-oriented persons, but he does not
personally know if funds are available. He noted that
statistics support increased volunteerism.
Councilmember Ruettimann felt the matter should be tabled
for discussion at a Council work session. He noted that
the Council has never held any discussions regarding
eliminating City employee positions. Me also felt that
volunteerism would be very beneficial for a City of this
size.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
APRIL 13, 1992
PAGE 8
Motion by Ruettimann to table the matter of a Volunteer
Coordinator Concept. Councilmember Nawrocki observed that
there was not a motion made which could be tabled.
Motion by Peterson, second by Clerkin to approve the City
Manager hiring a Volunteer Coordinator.
Councilmember Peterson suggested that the idea for this
position was to save the City money. The City Manager
advised the salary and fringe benefits established for
1992 was $30,973. If it is filled for the remainder of
the year from May to December the cost would be $23,318.
Councilmember Nawrocki noted he had surveyed other cities
who have a similar position. He had discussed this matter
with the Maple Grove City Manager who did not indicate
there has been any savings at this point in time.
Councilmember Peterson felt that perhaps Columbia Heights
could be first and innovative in some areas rather than
wait for other cities to take action. He recalled how a
group in the City had backed off of using volunteers to
build a community center and an ice arena.
A 150% return from this position is expected as stated by
the City Manager.
Roll call: Clerkin, Peterson, Murzyn - aye
nay Ruettimann - abstain.
Nawrocki -
Councilmember Nawrocki stated he will not pursue the
addition of another policeman to the force.
b. Volunteer Firefighting Negotiating Team/Individual
Councilmember Nawrocki indicated an interest in serving
on the negotiating team. Councilmember Ruettimann felt
the City Manager should also serve on the team.

legislation.

staff to contact Representative Wayne Simoneau and

c. Waterline Construction Participation
Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to transfer
$3B,557 from 601-49449-5130 (Water Construction Fund) to
Fund #401 (Capital Improvement Fund).
Councilmember Nawrocki referred to the Joint Powers
Agreement for this project. He noted that the Agreement
was between the cities of Columbia Heights and Hilltop as
well as School District #13. In Section 3 the Agreement
states that all of the construction costs will be paid by
School District #13. Noting that some of the School
Distict is located in Fridley, he felt it was unfair for
the water consumers of Columbia Heights to have to pay
the costs of all of this project.
Councilmember Ruettimann was of the opinion it would not
be cost effective to hire attorneys to pursue this
matter. Councilmember Nawrocki felt there was a
significant number of Fridley residents who should be
responsible for the costs of the project.
Roll call: Clerkin, Ruettimann, Peterson, Murzyn - aye
Nawrocki - nay

APRIL 13, 1992
PAGE 10
Councilmember Nawrocki recognized that Anoka County has
the authority to charge but felt the City should
determine if the charges are appropriate.
The City Manager advised that there is no way to
accurately document these charges. The costs will come
from the Tax Increment Financing Debt Service Fund.
Some members of the Council felt there should be more
explanation forthcoming from Anoka County Justifying the
costs and what the charges will be if this is an on-going
practice.
Motion by Ruettimann, second by Clerkin to table this
matter for additional information. Roll call: All ayes
Establish Weed Billing Rate

on the "actual time consumed."
