r <br /> Agenda Items - May 13, 1974 <br /> Page 2 <br /> I think that I would be in a position to obtain a qreat deal of information <br /> and make contacts which would be beneficial to the City. This appointment <br /> would be for a two-year period of time. The Board does meet once a month <br /> and i feel that I can work that into my schedu]_e without any difficulty <br /> at all and represent you on that Board as best I can. <br /> AGENDA ITEMS <br /> 18. You have in your packet a report from F�ennepin County concerning the <br /> improvement programs that the County is involved with for Lake Minnetonka. <br /> They have as_ked f:�:- :.ry input :from us that �,vE may be willing to give and <br /> I thought that due to the fact that the Mayor is on L.M.C.D. as well, that <br /> Orono may like to have some specific comments to make in regard to Hennepin <br /> County' s program. <br /> 19. In your packet, is a large collection of letters and correspondence <br /> we have had t�at is concerried with the injury that Ernie Green suffered <br /> in the Orono liquor store. He has injured himself and can no longer lift <br /> or do any type of strenuous work and as such, is no lonqer able to <br /> function as a liquor store employee. The doctor has determined that he has <br /> a 20� permanent partial disability. The staff and the insurance companies <br /> have worked to insure that Mr. Green receives al1 the compensation that is <br /> ^oming to him and at the present time, he i st�.11 takiny �nd receiving <br /> .nedical treatments. At this time, it appea��;�whether his condition will <br /> ever really improve in any degree. As a result of this ir�fortunate injury, <br /> the City is no longer able to maintain him as a full-time employee. I <br /> had effectivly terminated his status as a full-time emplayee in December <br /> of last year after a long time of waiting to see just exactly what his <br /> circumstances were. I have finally now gotten down to the point where we <br /> are getting ready to close the books on this issue and I put the matter <br /> before the Council to insure you that we have done all tha� we know to do <br /> for Mr. Green to see that he has r_eceived all the benefits that are possible <br /> for him under the law. As a result of the information being presented here , <br /> I would appreciate a resolution from the Council stating to the effect that <br /> the situation with Mr. Green has been recognized and that the staff has <br /> pursued the payment of the claims and have assisted Mr. Green in anyway <br /> possible and that Mr. Green is no longer a full-time employee of the City <br /> of Orono and that the books should be closed on the incident . I would point <br /> out, however, at this time, that we will maintain contact with Ernie to <br /> see how he is coming along and keep the Counci]_ abreast of any developments <br /> that may occur for him. <br /> 20. There is a resolution and a letter in your packet explaining the <br /> fact that Minnetonka Beach wishes to join the West FIennepin Assessing <br /> District. The other three municipalities that are currently member.s of the <br /> district have already passed similar resolutions stating that they had <br /> no objections to Minnetonka Beach joining. I would recommend that the <br /> City of Orono pass a similar resolution of intent and then the f_inal contract <br /> nd legal papers can be arawn up at a later date. The assessing board would <br /> nave to take the final action of bringing them in and establish a contractual <br /> relationship. I have ask_ed Marty how this would affect his work load <br />
