Gaffron joined Michael Gaffron <br /> us February 6, 1978 as our Septic System Inspector <br /> at a starting rate of $12 , 000 per year. Psr. <br /> Gaffron has taken a very responsive approach to <br /> his position and is doing an excellent job of <br /> preparing himself in developing design standards <br /> for on-site systems. <br /> I recommend a salary increase of $50 per month/ <br /> $12 , 600 per year effective April 17, 1978. This <br /> position will be reviewed again in July. � <br /> Mayor Van Nest moved, Butler seconded, to approve <br /> a salary increase for Michael Gaffron, Septic <br /> System Inspector, of $50 per month/$12 , 600 per <br /> year, effective April 17, 1978, r4otion, <br /> Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . <br /> Mayor Van Nest moved, Butler seconded, to approve LONG LAKE WATER RATE <br /> the letter to the Long Lake City Council from <br /> Dick Benson, City Administrator, regarding water <br /> rates dated April 4, �978. - tlotion, Ayes (4) - <br /> Nays (0) . <br /> Letter - Pages 30-31 <br /> Dick Benson, City Adr.ministrator, informed the City HIGH��AY �12 & WILLOW <br /> Council that last year we discussed purchasing the DRIVE PROPERTY <br /> Robb property for City uses and I was directed to <br /> negotiate with Mrs. Robb and to request a market <br /> value appraisal of that approximate 15 acres . <br /> Negotiations with P�rs. Robb failed and the property <br /> went on the market for twice the amount the City - <br /> offered. Since that time, I have been reviewing <br /> property along Highway #12. This particular piece <br /> of property before you now located at the northeast <br /> corner of Highway #12 and Willow Drive owned by <br /> Mr. Todd Fruend, has been reviewed by myself, <br /> staff, and Mayor Brad Van Nest and is an ideal site <br /> for future location of municipal buildings , primarily <br /> the Public Works Department. With the cost of land <br /> increasing substantially each year, it would be in <br /> our best interest to acquire land for future uses <br /> as soon as possible. [ae are presently reviewing <br /> methods to finance this acquisition and I would <br /> want you to reaffirm your support in negotiating <br /> this purchase, based upon funds being available. <br /> Butler moved, P4ayor Van Nest seconded, to instruct <br /> the City Administrator to continue negotiating the <br /> �urchase of the property located at Highway #12 <br /> and Willow Drive.
