The Mayor presented Don Johnson with a certificate of appreciation For his work

ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS:
1. Resolution Pertaining to the
Suburban Police Recruitment System
The Police Recruitment System is an effort to set up a valid nondiscriminatory
selection standard and procedure for entry level police positions. Municipalities
would contract on a joint powers basis to implement the system. The City Manager
stated that the cost would be approximately $600 per vacancy (this is the fee
which would be recommended to the Board but has not been established as yet) plus
$10 per employee charge for the annual membership fee.
Mayor Nawrocki stated he believes the idea is good but communities such as
Columbia Heights have a Police and Fire Civil Service Commission and he sees no
reason why these members would not logically be considered as potential members
of this Board and added he believes the city managers are being self-serving
by excluding these experienced people.
Councilman Norberg asked whether the City would have to fill vacancies in this
manner and whether the City would be penalized for not using the Board. The
City Manager answered no to both questions and added that the City can add its
own standards for the type of employee it requires. The Board is only for the
standard written test and physical tests. The Police and Fire Civil Service
Commission would still establish the standards for the City.
Ken Nygaard, Police and Fire Civil Service Commission member, stated that the
City could make other reconlmendations which the candidates would have to meet.
He added that he believes the system is worth the S~O0 cost involved.
Discussion followed on how often the tests would be given and the validity of
the test currently given by the Civil Service Commission.

who are the proper directors and stated that he will vote no because he disagrees
with this part of the resolution.
Motion by Norberg to amend the resolution that article 4 section 2, the second
sentence be stricken.
Motion dies for lack of a second.

previously they could have made their recommendations and comments before.

a new look at the method of who is eligible to be appointed by respective bodies
from their municipalities.

Mayor Nawrocki again made the point that the city managers in the area and the
Metropolitan Council put together the agreement. The logical representative of
the City would be either Ken Nygaard or Stu Anderson but Ken Nygaard will not
be allowed to serve on the Board.
Councilman Heintz suggested tabling the resolution to feel out the committee
which drafted the resolution to find out whether they would be willing to add the
wording the Council wishes.

Advisory Committee voted to recommend these documents to the Council. They
also recommended that a consultant be retained to look at the documents to
assu~re the City that all the elements are present which would be required for
the City.
Ron Naegele, Chairman, stated that the committee does feel a consultant should
be hired to look at the different companies which may bid to check on all the
technicalities. The company receiving the bid for the franchise would be charged
the cost of the consultant. If the City chose to franchise no one or if there
were no bids, the cost would have to be borne by the City.
Discussion continued on the possible cost of a consultant. An estimate was
given the City of between $2,000 and S~,O00. Councilman Norberg stated he
would like the chance to look at the franchise to make up his mind.
Motion by Norberg to accept the report for consideration.

RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
The City Manager stated that he is asking an 8~ across the board increase as
well as an increase of $5 in the City's hospitalization and life insurance
monthly premiums per employee. This recommended increase is within the
President's guidelines.
Cy Smythe, Labor Relations Assoc., stated that the difference in salaries
between the unionized employees of the City, who are also eligible for overtime,
and that of the supervisors who do not get overtime, is not significant and
added that appropriate adjustments should be made for management people. The
unions will probably also be asking for 8/ this year.
Councilman Heintz asked that the resolution not be read as he is not ready to
commit himself to an 8~ across the board increase. He would like to look at the
present salaries first.
Mayor Nawrocki stated he was in favor of the proposed resolution although he also
doesn't particularly like the across the board proposal. He would prefer an
adjustment that would give a little more to the people in the low end of the
salary range, however, the cost of living increases have hit everyone equally.
He added that the Council should look at the ranges as a separate matter, tf
there are inequities, this will give the Council the opportunity to correct
them.
Councilman Logacz stated he believed the Council should take action on the
supervisory personnel now and consider the other employees later.
Councilman Heintz stated he doesn't see what the big rush is and believes the
Council should discuss it further, he also believes 8~ is too much.
Councilman Norberg doesn't believe 84 is too much, but would like a work session
to discuss it further.

AND CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES: EXCLUDING POLICE SERGEANTS AND OTHER

RECEIPT OF HILLTOP COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City of Hilltop has submitted a comprehensive plan which is in the City
Manager's office if anyone would care to read it.
OLD BUSINESS:
1. 1979 Audit
Copies of various proposals were transmitted to the Council. Six firms have
rejected the City's request for proposal. The City Manager is recommending
awarding the bid to Haskins and Sells For the l~79 audit.
Councilman Logacz stated he doesn't see any difference between George Hansen,
who has done the City's audit for many years, and Haskins and Sells who did
the audit last year. He will not vote for them this year.
John Schedler, Finance Director, stated that after working only one year with
Haskins and Sells it is hard to compare the two companies. He did feel that
Haskins and Sells perhaps went into more depth.
The City Manager stated he supported Haskins and Sells because he Felt that they
had a stronger management letter, the "new set of eyes" was a good reason, and
he believed it would be advisable to engage auditors for anywhere From three to
five years. He doesn't believe it is in the best interests of the City to get
a different bid every year.
Councilman Norberg asked why Haskins and Sells bids were up. The City Manager
answered that the charges are higher because their costs are higher. Councilman
Norberg asked whether the services oF the experts available at Haskins and Sells
were ever used by the City. John Schedler named one instance when the City
used them. Councilman Norberg stated he was not pleased with the way other
companies declined to bid but added he believes it would be wise at this point
to giive Haskins and Sells another year.

Mayor Nawrocki asked why the other firms chose not to submit proposals.
The City Manager answered that they stated they did not have staff time and
they did not have adequate time to prepare documents for a proposal. The
Mayor asked whether the City Manager thought Peat Marwick and Mitchell really
couldn't handle the business of: the City of Columbia Heights and asked the
Council what instructions were given to the City Manager on obtaining bids,
which occurred at a meeting when the Mayor was out of town. The City Manager
responded that he was directed to seek additional proposals and read the
letter which was sent to the companies from which he sought proposals. Mayor
Nawrocki stated his opinion that some of the bidders may have gotten the
impression that the City was asking for proposals in order to determine that
the fee proposed by the present auditor was reasonable and added that he was
not convinced the City Manager went out for honest proposals.
Councilman Norberg stated it is possible that an informal brotherhood may
exist and these companies choose not to compete under certain circumstances.
Motion by Hentges, seconded by Heintz, to authorize the appointment of the
firm of George Hansen and Co. as the City's auditors of 1979 records, with
the cost of such audit not to exceed $7,900 for the general audit and $750
for the audit of Revenue Sharing Funds.

the lot didn't have a sanitary sewer. The Mayor suggested finding out how long
the low bidder will hold his price open.
Motion by Hentges, seconded by Logacz, to reject all bids on the project.

the lousy way the traffic has been treated all along Central on the side streets.
Councilman Logacz added that L~Oth Ave. and Central is an extremely long light
and asked that it be changed.
The Mayor noted that the northbound bus stop signs should be changed from far
side to near side stops. George Brown, City Engineer, stated that generally the
near stop would be in the right turn lane. Mayor Nawrocki noted that on the
far side there is usually lots of snow and passengers are getting off the bus
into the snowbank. They then have to walk in the street back to the corner and
risk being hit by a car. .At least on the near side the people would be close
to the corner where it is plowed.

Assistant, answered that it was $900 per month. The Mayor asked why the City
shouldn't reject all the bids and do it over. The City Manager stated there
is no guarantee this year's contractor will rebid. His bid for 1980 was
brought in too late for the bid opening.
