Summary
The Cannon Falls City Council approved Resolution 28 59 certifying unpaid utility charges to be collected with taxes, authorized hiring a payroll/HR technician position, and approved hiring up to five part‑time EMTs for ambulance scheduling; all motions carried unanimously at this meeting.
At the meeting the council took several formal votes on routine but substantive items.
Resolution 28 59 — certifying unpaid utility charges: The council opened and closed the public hearing (no attendees) and approved Resolution 28 59 to certify unpaid utility charges for collection with property taxes. Motion by Johnson; second by Novak. Vote: all aye; motion carries.
Payroll technician and accounts‑payable / HR assistant position: City staff explained that the position combines payroll and HR administrative functions previously distributed after a former finance director’s retirement. The pay equity JET score was reported at 262 points (grade 6) with a starting wage listed in the presentation as $30.32 per hour. Councilmember Diane moved to approve hiring the position; second by Novak. Vote: all aye; motion carries.
Hiring part‑time EMTs for the ambulance department: After removing that item from the consent agenda for discussion, staff said the hires are budgeted and will be used to fill schedule gaps; part‑time hires have no guaranteed hours and are often sourced from local programs. Councilmember Chad moved to approve hiring part‑time EMTs (up to five); second by Nobach. Vote: all aye; motion carries.
Adjournment: Council adjourned by motion (Lisa moved; Chad seconded).
