Others
Council interviewed Kurtis Ulrich for the City Administrator position, I
Next item was discussion of City Administrator contract. Prior to the last City Administrator
hired, there had been a history of not having a contract for this position, The HÛIIlan Resources
Manager asked if the Council wanted to go with a contract again, or return to the past practice of
not having a contract. Unanimous decision was that the Council wanted the City Administrator
position to be a contract position.
The Council discussed what they want to see in a contract for the City Administrator position,
The Human Resources Manager provided a template of a contract currently being used by the
City of Champlin. It is similar to the contract template the League of Minnesola Cities
recommends on their web site.
The Council felt that the major issues to be included in the contract are that the contract must be
"at will" and provide a 60 day severanc'e package. Other ideas for negotiation were presen~ed.
The final contract needs to be reviewed by the City Attorney prior to being accepted by the
CounciL
Council then discussed the five candidates and what they want from the next City Administrator.
Motion was made by Jacobson, seconded by Trude to authorize the Human Resources Manager to
negotiate a contract for the City Administrator with James Dickinson. Motion carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 6:55pm.
Respectfully Submitted by
