MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, August 12, 2019 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />None <br />14. CITY CLERK JOB DESCRIPTION REVISION <br />Rief stated earlier this year he received a request to review the city clerk position. A few minor changes <br />were made to the position, including some minor changes to employee supervision and election duties. <br />Staff's recommendation is that the election responsibilities be moved from what is considered <br />contributory to primary because the clerk has the sole authority around elections, which increased the <br />score of the position and moved it from a Grade 10 to Grade 11 of the wage scale. <br />Johnson asked from what position those new supervision responsibilities came from. <br />Rief indicated in the past the front desk employees reported to the City Administrator and now they will <br />report to the city clerk, who is considered an exempt employee. Those responsibilities were not reflected <br />in the job description. The review also discovered some issues with the record site. Staff felt in the future <br />hiring someone with more education for the position would be appropriate, such as a bachelor's degree, <br />and that someone with a two-year degree would not be considered for a city of this size. <br />Johnson asked whether there was a supervisor within the administrative staff that handled the supervision <br />of the front desk. <br />Rief indicated it originally went straight to him versus the city clerk, and since the city clerk has <br />communication and supports all departments, it was deemed appropriate to realign that. <br />Seals moved, Crosby seconded, to approve the change in the city clerk job description and to <br />approve the change in pay grade from 10 to 11. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />PRESENTATION <br />15. 2018 AUDIT PRESENTATION <br />This item was removed from the agenda. <br />PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br />16. LA19-000047 SCOTT GATES ON BEHALF OF KRUCKEBERG REAL ESTATES, 4400 <br />DEERING ISLAND, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, AMEND MUSA BOUNDARY, <br />RESOLUTION <br />Scott Gates, Applicant, was present. <br />Barnhart stated the applicant is requesting that Deering Island be incorporated into the City of Orono's <br />Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA). The designation would allow the property to connect to sanitary <br />sewer service. The City of Mound would provide the connection and treatment of the sanitary sewer. <br />Page 2 of 8 <br />
