Update/Direction on Medina Fire District Discussions <br /> Interim City/Administrator/Finance Director Ron Olson began discussion asking for direction <br /> from the council on the Medina Fire district plan. <br /> Mayor Dennis Walsh mentioned that Medina thought that we were on board and yet we have <br /> no interest. We still need to solve and figure out our own fire contract and will not be rushing <br /> into something else until we finalize that. Walsh added that we may need to send them a letter <br /> to let them know where we are at on this topic. <br /> Council Member Aaron Printup mentioned that the matrix report shown in the packet was <br /> paid for by Medina so it may be more tailored towards Medina. <br /> Council Member Victoria Seals noted the city is not interested and added she has concerns <br /> with the cost. <br /> 2. City Administrator Search Process Update <br /> Seals presented the City Administrator hiring plan. The Organizational Committee and Anna <br /> Carlson will update the City Council along the way during the Work Sessions. <br /> The City Council consented to advertise the position in areas discussed and to add the full <br /> range of compensation for the position to the advertisement. <br /> Seals mentioned that the timeline is subject to change. <br /> Walsh noted the timeline is more for the Council decision making and not necessarily the <br /> deadline to fill the position. <br /> 3. Update of Text Amendments <br /> Community Development Director Jeremy Barnhart presented an update to the Council. <br /> Barnhart identified the amendments for which we will process. He asked the Council if there <br /> are any specific amendments they would like to discuss before he goes through them all. <br /> Council Member Matt Johnson noted that the Council should categorize them to help <br /> prioritize the process of changes or updates that are needed. <br /> Barnhart mentioned that our code isn't exactly enforceable to the degree we need. This is an <br /> exciting opportunity for the city. The Council can identify the priorities they would like to <br /> accomplish with the amendments to their discretion. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br />
