City manager reports online public input, recognizes employees and invites council interest in school-board screening committee
Summary
The city manager told the Rochester City Council on Aug. 19 that staff had received three online public-input submissions and relayed three letters praising city employees, and he invited councilors to volunteer to sit on the school-board superintendent screening committee.
The city manager reported to the Rochester City Council on Aug. 19 that the city received three online public-input submissions: two from Robert Dueing (90 Wakefield Street) about a tree limb and trimming bushes for pedestrian traffic, and one from Shelly Gingress regarding school-board appointments.
The manager summarized three pieces of complimentary correspondence the city had received recognizing employees from different departments. One writer praised Rochester Library staff for art displays; another, a retired police officer, singled out Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Kimberly Conley for helping him navigate a change in medical prescriptions and assisting him to enroll in a no-cost program; and a third thanked the Building and Licensing Department and an inspector named Ryan for promptness and professionalism during a permit and inspection process.
The manager said the city no longer runs an employee-of-the-month program but has multiple recognition offerings throughout the year and will share program details at a future council meeting.
On intergovernmental coordination, he said the school board is forming a superintendent search screening committee and had asked the city whether any councilors wished to participate. He asked interested councilors to email or notify him by Friday at 9 a.m. so he could forward names to the school-board chair.
Why this matters: The report documents citizen service requests and community recognition for municipal employees, and it records a solicitation from the school board for city council participation in the superintendent screening process.
