Mayor & Council: Council Member Sippel stated that a viable offer has been received to purchase the LMCC building that includes a 30-day due diligence clause. Demo and buildout have begun at the Long Lake public works building as the LMCC has to be out of the current space within 90 days of the agreement. He did state that even with the sale of the building, the future for the LMCC looks grim. Jim Lundberg proposed that he retires at the end of this year, and it become a one-person employee operation moving forward to give the LMCC a little more run time which is estimated to be about 5 years.

Full-time to Part-time (no less than 32 hours per week) I am reaching out to seek a possible adjustment to work hours from 40 hours/week to 32 hours/week. Currently, City Hall hours are Mon-Thurs. 7:30-5:00 and Friday, 7:30-11:30. A few options for a schedule would be either 8:30 – 5:00 Mon-Thurs. with Fridays off or Monday 11:30-5:00, Tues.-Thurs. 7:30-5:00 and Fridays off. If coverage is needed outside of these hours, I will work with the team and make the appropriate adjustments to ensure coverage. I have spoken to both the administrative committee and staff, and they both stated they would be supportive of the idea if the work responsibilities were met without overflow to the other staff members and flexibility is allowed for coverage. Additionally, at any time should I, staff, or council feel the reduced hours are not working out, we can agree to convert back to full-time status. A recommendation would be to approve the status change on a temporary basis to ensure it works for all involved. I understand the importance of ensuring uninterrupted workflow and I will ensure that my work responsibilities and performance remain unaffected and will not overflow onto my team members. Thank you for your consideration. Sec. 34-193. - Delinquent Accounts. A penalty as prescribed in the utilities rate schedule shall be added to the next quarterly billing for any unpaid account one month after the date of billing. An additional penalty shall be added for each subsequent month in which such an account is unpai d.
