Rief confirmed to separate the Police Chief and Deputy Chief in own pay scale and that he will <br />add it to the scope. <br />Olson noted that we will need to bring the changes to the pay scale to council and review the <br />grade and points needed to justify the grade level. <br />2. Process Discussion Dealing with Policy Around Private to Public Road Conversions <br />Rief mentioned that we have over twenty miles of private roads and staff has discussed <br />considering a policy to establish possible standards for private roads. <br />There was discussion considering the responsibilities of developers, homeowners, and the city <br />when developing and maintaining private roads. There was further discussion of whether there <br />is a need or not for a policy or policies for standards. <br />Rief added that the city could go through an assessment for a policy for private road repair and <br />the policy would need to set limits and possibly address restrictions for certain circumstances. <br />There was discussion of various circumstances that would affect limits within a policy for <br />maintenance and repair to private roads and the difficulties with establishing those limits since <br />many of the private roads vary in comparison. <br />Discussion regarding the establishment of a policy will be tabled for the time being and reviewed <br />at a later date. <br />3. Land Acquisition / Sale Discussion <br />Rief mentioned what generated this item was the planned improvements in the right of way on <br />Elmwood Avenue. Rief explained that the city has many streets and corridors where streets, <br />utilities and parks intrude onto private property. He would like to review all of the city owned <br />properties and figure out what the city is doing with those properties and if any fixes or changes <br />are necessary for them. <br />Rief is looking for direction to establish guidance related to the review of current city owned <br />properties, the sale of any deemed no longer necessary for public use and the acquisition of new <br />property in an effort to honor current property owners where public use may intrude on their <br />rights. <br />There was discussion regarding the benefits of reviewing the city owned properties or right of <br />ways and figuring out what to do with them. <br />Meeting End Time: 6:15 p.m. <br />ATTEST: <br />Anna Carlson, City Clerk Dennis Walsh, Mayor <br />
