1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:11,639
so the next item is uh the parkboard
update and i a f or ly which one of you

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:18,720
guys want to cover that I can
go um a couple of the simple ones first

3
00:00:15,639 --> 00:00:22,160
um first update I have is uh one of the
park board members got a lead on some

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,800
high tables and
chairs um it would be three tables at

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,840
the cost of 25 each and then nine chairs
at the cost of $40 each for a grand

6
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:37,559
total of
$435 the park board did feel that this

7
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:43,000
was um a good option um a lot of the
golfers and other customers do like the

8
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:47,239
high tables better so I'd be looking to
um get approval to purchase those I

9
00:00:45,559 --> 00:00:49,960
think and I the high tops I think do
work pretty good out there people like

10
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,920
getting higher off the ground so it's a
good idea so uh three tables nine chairs

11
00:00:53,239 --> 00:00:59,280
uh
$435 total if I could get a motion for

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,160
uh purchasing those for the clubhouse
I'll that

13
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:09,720
Shar makes the motion actually Gary you
second it okay so all in favor say I I

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:14,240
opposed motion carried Lyn the second
thing we talked about um was in the

15
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:20,360
Legion Park back here um the cement
border that needed to be put around the

16
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:24,759
playground area um we talked about that
it's probably a good idea to put that

17
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:29,119
out for bids versus you know just
awarding it to somebody um I know it it

18
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,920
meets the requirements that we don't
have to put it out for bids but I think

19
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:38,079
it's a good process everybody gets the
chance to do it to to put in you know

20
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:43,280
for what they bid it at yep so we would
just need Eric to you know create a

21
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:49,560
scope and then put it out there
okay um if I could get a motion for that

22
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:54,799
make a motion here makes a motion I'll
second is there a second a motion all in

23
00:01:51,040 --> 00:02:00,240
favor to say I I opposed a motion Carri
the third thing is the approval of

24
00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:08,160
positions um the park board um Review
Committee did um meet and we have um a

25
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:13,959
candidate that we feel would be best for
the supervisor role um

26
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Parker how do you say his last name
Laura Clark CLA Clark

27
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:25,519
CLA um is the candidate that we would
recommend um we would recommend starting

28
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:30,680
him at
58,000 um and then at his six-month

29
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:36,760
review
which would be after the golf season

30
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:41,840
ended if everything went well um and he
was doing well we would recommend

31
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:50,080
increasing it to
59,000 um that does fall into the budget

32
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,080
range that we were

33
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:58,239
given let me know when you're done I'm
done with that one okay so as far as

34
00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:02,080
with parkerland so is you're saying that
there's there's any that is is it

35
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:07,799
there's no other additions like any
benefit changes or um yep um the other

36
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:13,760
thing he did negotiate um would be
starting at tier two um in terms of the

37
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:19,959
PTO which would amount to 40 hours of
additional PTO so does that does that

38
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:24,480
PTO does he ACR PTO as well as getting
the 40 hour of PTO or is that just it

39
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:29,040
for the first year so he would start at
tier two so he's not making more than

40
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:35,599
the 59,000 it's just he's getting two
weeks of pt versus one you follow me I

41
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:40,319
do right so so he'll he'll start out
with uh one week right away and then

42
00:03:37,799 --> 00:03:45,879
he'll acrew a week as he goes or you AC
it no matter what well you work as you

43
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:51,439
work so so I guess my question is what
happens if he uh leaves in two months do

44
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:56,519
we have to pay that PTO that we give him
to him no because he has to acrw it as

45
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:01,040
he works got it okay so we wouldn't be
out anything that way so instead of

46
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:05,879
getting 12 okay no I like that's 17 days
right

47
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:09,920
okay yeah it's not costing us anymore
right yeah right no I understand that so

48
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,400
that's good so then then he'll acrew it
just like everybody else does you're

49
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:23,120
just going to acrew at tier two instead
of tier one right okay so um I guess uh

50
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:29,280
how I look at it is uh myself it's and I
I did send out an email last week uh

51
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:35,720
stating that uh I would like to meet
meet with them and also I feel that the

52
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:44,240
other council members uh should have the
opportunity to uh meet with uh uh Mr

53
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:49,520
Claire uh as well um this is a it's a
relatively big decision for the city and

54
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:55,639
also uh we're adding we're opening up
the the golf course going 18 holes and

55
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:01,120
it obviously we want this to be a
success we want to make sure that uh

56
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:07,880
he's the right candidate and um I would
like to have the opportunity to meet

57
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:11,520
with him um myself personally or with or
with another council member and then

58
00:05:10,039 --> 00:05:16,080
give the opportunity for the other
council members uh to meet with them now

59
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:21,919
we can do either we could do a closed
door or a closed session meeting or we

60
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:27,440
could set up like we did with uh with
Laura um like a meet and greet so we

61
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:31,280
could have the person here and then uh
um we could come in at our leisure and

62
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:36,240
talk to him just set up like a
three-hour three-hour meeting great are

63
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:42,400
you saying you want this before we take
a vote on his I would great I would Gary

64
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,440
I mean and if we have to call if we have
to call a special meeting we don't have

65
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:49,759
to wait two weeks if we want to do it
next Monday we can do it next Monday too

66
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,759
I I guess I can understand where you're
coming from but the hiring committee's

67
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:59,360
already went through the process and
we're bringing we're going to bring it

68
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:03,960
to a vote tonight um I guess that's that
would be my proposal we want to get this

69
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:10,080
ball rolling and to put it off any
further I don't think is

70
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:15,639
necessary yeah so I get so the I my
rationale I'm just going to I took a

71
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:19,199
couple of notes so I just uh for for
sake I'm just I'm not sure that you know

72
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:23,280
that I'm sure the candidate's a good
person I'm sure he's likely qualified

73
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,680
but I'm uncomfortable on the hiring
process and the guidelines that were not

74
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:34,199
voted on that were utilized the
guidelines of hiring uh the compensation

75
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:37,759
package uh um I asked but was not given
the opportunity to meet with the

76
00:06:35,599 --> 00:06:41,880
candidate for me and the balance of the
council members uh in addition I feel

77
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:46,680
for this position the importance like I
stated to the Future the success of the

78
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:52,880
golf course uh we need a full Council
vote and

79
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:58,680
um what and and I think you guys know if
anything happens in the city whether I'm

80
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:03,720
involved with it or not it comes back to
me right and I feel very uncomfortable

81
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:07,800
voting for this person when I have not
even met the person cuz people are going

82
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:11,400
to come back to me and say well what do
you know about this guy well I I don't

83
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:17,160
know anything about him then why'd you
vote for him for well we we have a a

84
00:07:14,039 --> 00:07:21,160
committee for this the hiring committee
um you should be able to trust the

85
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:26,720
hiring committee to get the process done
we followed the process we hire the guy

86
00:07:24,919 --> 00:07:30,960
uh within our hiring
parameters so there there should be no

87
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,560
question
whether or not we should bring it

88
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:38,800
tonight or not so Gary and you were you
went through the hir process with Laura

89
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:43,800
and this person obviously isn't at the
level of Laura but they're not at a

90
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:47,520
level of like uh a Bradley either so
they are a supervisory person they're

91
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:51,479
going to be out in the community I you I
I know I don't have to explain to you

92
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:58,680
understand all that um but when we when
we went when we had uh something set up

93
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:03,360
with uh hiring Laura I actually went to
the council

94
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:09,479
um and a motion was made by Don Bowski
and seconded by Jackie Johnson to allow

95
00:08:06,599 --> 00:08:14,520
me to make an offer and state the wages
for the new city administrator the

96
00:08:11,479 --> 00:08:19,879
motion was carried unanimously nobody
gave anybody permission to actually put

97
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:23,479
in an official offer or take an
acceptance of that position from that

98
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:27,520
person I looked through all the minutes
so is that not the hiring committee's

99
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:32,519
job is to make the offer to this the
park board is an advisory commit to the

100
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:37,599
but we're bringing it to the meeting
tonight yeah it was contingent on

101
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,880
Council we should have went we should
have had a meeting and decided what that

102
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,680
was not the parameters John it never was
the parameters were the park board was

103
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:51,120
to interview and come back with a
candidate that was qualified and to fit

104
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:54,360
it within the the budget range I'm just
I'm just saying you guys we're all

105
00:08:52,720 --> 00:09:00,200
independent thickers that's what I love
about this Council uh I I uh if we don't

106
00:08:58,959 --> 00:09:05,839
table it
um I will give my I'll give my reasons

107
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:10,600
uh why um I'm not going to vote for the
person but I think it's really uh it it

108
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,680
would be really good to have everybody
on board uh with the hiring because it's

109
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:19,800
not going to set a good tone going
forward but if you guys don't want to

110
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:24,040
give us the opportunity to meet with
them it's not about the opportunity John

111
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:28,680
it's it's a trust thing also you you
gave us this J so Len you told me you've

112
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:32,399
never voted against the park Council
while you were on the Council before say

113
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:35,800
that again have you did you ever vote
against the park Council when you were

114
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:41,120
par Council what do you mean on the Park
Board V on the park absolutely but it

115
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,920
came to a vote and that was my vote so
you should have the opportunity to vote

116
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:47,800
Yes or No told I just told you I'm going
to vote and that's fine but you're

117
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:52,160
saying you know you're coming back and
some of your things are saying that we

118
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:57,480
weren't following the guidelines that
were given yes we were did we vote did

119
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:01,720
we vote on saying that you could you had
the authority to make an offer to him

120
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:06,680
well how do we know he'd even take it if
we don't make an offer that's what we go

121
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:10,560
the I the idea was to bring a couple of
candidates forth to the council let the

122
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:16,160
council talk to them but you know I'm
not going to it's it's miscommunication

123
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:21,720
so I'm not I'm not I'm trying to work
this out reasonably and if you guys want

124
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:26,279
to my suggestion is to table it so
Donnie and Sarah have a have a chance to

125
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:32,480
at least ask the person a couple of
questions but if if you guys want to

126
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:37,720
make a motion um uh and I'll just call
for a I just I'm going to call for a

127
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:42,560
roll call vote and then we can give her
I guess give her reasons why and um uh

128
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:48,200
but I think it's crucial that the mayor
of the town of peers uh would have an

129
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:53,639
opportunity to meet uh that candidate
before uh we vote the High room I just

130
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:57,320
think it makes sense and I actually
asked it isn't like I never asked to

131
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:02,279
meet the person I was actually uh
basically denied the opportunity to when

132
00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:06,079
was that when I sent that email to Laura
and then you called me well I didn't

133
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,800
deny it you said you wanted to and I
said I was bringing it to the meeting

134
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,440
tonight he said I didn't have to cuz
you're bringing it to the meeting I said

135
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,240
I'm bringing it to the meeting so that's
what I'm doing well I don't see that's

136
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:17,760
where it needs to be I don't see I don't
see him here I would have loved to have

137
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:22,680
met him tonight well because I said I
was going to bring it to the meeting to

138
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:30,800
anyway so that's my suggestion so you
guys uh um I will make the motion to

139
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:34,760
approve the hiring of Parker player um
starting at

140
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:38,000
$58,000 um at six-month interview going
to

141
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:41,279
$59,000 he is more than qualified for
this position and he would be a great

142
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:48,760
asset
to our community as well as the golf

143
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:55,680
course I second that okay so what I'm
going to do is I'm going to uh call for

144
00:11:51,639 --> 00:12:01,560
a roll call vote and um uh I'll actually
take the lead first um and uh put the

145
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:08,160
first first vote in uh since I'm kind of
the in charge a little bit here so uh

146
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:13,399
what I'd like to say is that uh not long
ago actually a person sitting in here a

147
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:17,560
particular citizen told me as the mayor
I should know everything that happens in

148
00:12:15,199 --> 00:12:21,519
the city of peers that is what I'm
actually trying to do I'm trying to do

149
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,440
in this position I'm trying to know
what's going on as the mayor

150
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:31,160
representing the people as well as you
guys I'm not voting no because of the

151
00:12:28,079 --> 00:12:35,680
candidate I'm voting no because as mayor
the buck ultimately stops with me I

152
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,440
haven't seen the hiring offer that's
another thing we have I'd like to see

153
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:44,440
the hiring offer we should all sign off
on the offer before it's presented

154
00:12:41,839 --> 00:12:49,600
presented to them um I haven't seen a
hiring offer nor um has the council

155
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:55,279
given the authority to anyone to extend
any offers in addition I'm not having an

156
00:12:52,560 --> 00:13:00,760
opportunity to meet the candidate uh to
ask my own personal questions so

157
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,040
therefore uh I'm casting the first vote
of No and then I'm just going to start

158
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:10,079
with Sarah and then I'm going to move my
way down no I thought about it and I'm

159
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:15,000
okay with it I
mean I trust the hiring board they've

160
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:19,560
done this before
and I mean I guess it was a different

161
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:24,079
situation with
Laura

162
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:29,120
and I mean I just I guess I
don't remember any precedents where

163
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:35,959
we've had you know even the other super
supervisors go through a process like

164
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:40,800
that I mean the hiring committee was put
there and I guess you have to make an

165
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,800
offer to know if the person is
interested before we can approve and

166
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:48,720
that the person that
you um offered to they do know it's

167
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:56,839
contingent if the council doesn't
approve then they don't get the job

168
00:13:50,160 --> 00:14:04,079
anyway so I mean I'm okay I go I vote
Yes yes

169
00:14:00,079 --> 00:14:10,600
yes okay so we have it's uh three uh for
and one against so um that

170
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:15,759
would gives you the opportunity to
extend the offer for his acceptance I

171
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:20,639
guess that's how it work l so okay okay
uh then we don't have claims I'm still

172
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:25,759
not done John oh I'm sorry I wanted to
do each one separate oh okay um in terms

173
00:14:22,959 --> 00:14:31,160
of the assistant supervisor um we would
recommend the hiring of Mark hoisel for

174
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:36,320
that position starting out at 1950 an
hour um we would do a three-month review

175
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:42,759
if he was doing well we would recommend
extending or moving him up to $20 an

176
00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:48,199
hour that would be a six-month job um
with no benefits and and I I know Mark

177
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:52,600
personally he's a nice person and um
he's been he's part of our community so

178
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:57,680
um he also would be a great asset he
