Tn: City Council
FROM: James Cosby, City Administrator
DATE: June 21, 1974
SUBJECT: Council Meeting of June 25, 1974
INFORMATION ITEMS
In your packet you have several job applications for my position and
I would suggest that upon reviewing those over the week-end, �hat
you begin to setup appointments as soon as possible to interview.
The advertisement for this position has been published in the
International City Management Newsletter and Mr. Marston' s position
has also been advertised in the American Association of Planners
publication and we should be receiving quite a few applications as
a result of this.
The next item in your agenda packet is the letter of resiqnation by
the Chief of Police. This was submitted to me on the morning of
June 20 , 1974, and as a result of that letter, I felt that it was
best to make a slight alteration. I have taken it upon myself to
extend to the Chief of Police 60 days of paid vacation beginning
June 20 , 1974, which means that he will be on vacation until September 12 ,
1974. This will give the Council an opportunity to discuss whether
or not they wish to reemploy him as a patrolman or re]_i.eve him of any
employeed function in the City. I have told Mr. Ross that my advise
to him would be to take a look at the job market and begin to see
whether or not it might be to his best interests to find employment
elsewhere. Mr. Ross stated to me today that he had intended to do that
anyway and I guess at this point all I can say is that we will have
to wait and see what develops. All of this is ofcourse subject to
Council approval about a vacation and I should also tell you that I
have appointed Red Daniels as Acting Chief, effective June 20 , 1974 .
AGENDA
17, 18, 19. These items are rather general and I believe that the Council
is fully informed of those items with item #17 being simply the standard
resolution that is passed for the beer and setup licenses .
20. This item is the salary adjustments that were tabled from June 11 ,
1974.
The only new item in your packet is item #21, which is the Auditor' s
report and I would suggest to the Council at this time that they should
set a date with the Auditor to sit down and go over his report in detail.
22 . This item is a resolution from Minnetonka Beach wishing to join the
Assessing District. The contract is enclosed. The standard form of the
contract, and I believe Marc will be in a position to discuss that in
more detail with you.

which we tried to establish once in the past is no longer in effect

regulartory agency.

with the police a.nd Council last week.
